So i finally did it
 

Sorry to anyone who might have been looking for me for the last while, offline life sort of got in the way. The good news is that there is a nice diamond encrusted ring on my 3rd finger, left hand now. Yup, got married last week and all is good.

More news coming, including some new potential things that come up as a result of a small relocation. Yes Gonzo, what I mentioned to you about 12 months ago is a done deal, the water view is amazing... 4 more weeks and I am there instead of here.

My ICQ is down until tomorrow, anyone trying to reach me can do myname @ gmail and that will work out just fine.

happy happy joy joy :)

congratulations

Re: So i finally did it
 

Thanks... I have arrived at my new location, trying to learn 2 new languages, and at the same time trying to keep working and make a good living at it.

Business ideas anyone?

Re: So i finally did it
 

you must have moved to Montreal. French and Yiddish?

Re: So i finally did it
 

No I moved to Hong Kong. Cantonese and Mandarin.

Re: So i finally did it
 

Wow...quite a move. I have a friend who lives in Aberdeen. I was going to move to HK awhile ago now. Had a place all scoped out in mid levels. Quite a few friends there. The landlord wanted 43000k USD up front. We retired to our hotel with 25 flight cases of tv equipment, and booked a flight to Manila where I lived for some time. A lively place with lots of riots, boat people and tons of work opportunities. Always wondered how my life would have changed had I stayed in Hong Kong.

Congrats on your marriage.

Hey Alex.
Sorry I missed this thread by a few months... but "congratulations to the winners".

Best wishes as I hope you came out ahead of the game.

Re: So i finally did it
 

Ahead of the game? Not sure. I have a great view over the water (60 + floors up), the weather is quite reasonable, and the food here is great. Married life is always a challenge for a guy like me (too long single!), but it's all good in the end.

More over, there are some very interesting business ops over here, so I am off learning the language and working on getting into the local culture. So far my fave thing is having 4G LTE on my phone... at < $20 US a month including calls and text msgs as well. Damn!

Did I miss anything from being over here?

Foul air, huge masses of people who elbow, shove and are generally really, really annoying?
