The final countdown

It is exactly 1 month before I leave the little Island of Hong Kong and venture to America for a couple of weeks and then England for a week after that. Before that time I need to get a new passport, sort out a new flat and organize various other documents to make sure I can legally stay in Hong Kong. For me finding a flat is the most pressing issue, I have decided to go for a small (like I have a choice) studio flat somewhere on Hong Kong Island near the office. I have grown really attached to Wan Chai so am also looking for a place around that area as an option too.

It is less than a month now before the joint adventures of Robyn and Ben will also come to an end. She is leaving me here and heading back home to probably become the future editor of 'Heat Magazine' or something equally brilliant. I meanwhile have a contract which sees me sticking around here till September 2008! That is quite scary...

This means that it will also be the end of this little blog. It will remain online as a diary of what we got up to in Honkers, but at the end of the month will stop being updated. I'm pretty sure that there will be another blog on the way, especially as we currently have an average of 30 different people logging on every day to see what boring things we get up to!

Plus even though Rob is off to pastures new, she will be back here in Hong Kong sleeping on my floor at regular occasions! (I even will have a spare little fold up bed by then!) It's strange though because at the moment it does not feel like anything is going to change at all. I think I will come back from holiday and just be bewildered at where all my friends have gone! :(
