Free VIP Concert Tickets...Sign me up!

So one perk to having a roommate is that he has relatives from Kansas City who happen to be traveling thru Hong Kong! haha Yes, this is true! About a month ago or so, Anthony's cousin came thru Hong Kong with several European and USA bands such as Simple Plan and other popular bands. The nice thing about this was that we got free VIP tickets in the very front of the concert! This concert was amazing and was also interesting since it really showed me how the whole world is really more of the same than different and globalization is the same with businesses and also music. This concert was a great surprise and was a great time had by all my friends and I!

Going on Two Years in Asia

So I have been in Asia for a total of almost two years now if you include my internship time and wow has time flown by! From when I first arrived in Asia, the time has gone on fast forward but there is literally never a dull moment. It is great living in Hong Kong since it is such a transient lifestyle and the people are extremely dynamic. I am always amazed at the type of people I meet in Hong Kong and the broad lifestyles that they all come from. I now live in more of a downtown area called "TST" and I have my coworker as a roommate which is fantastic since it is boring and lonely living alone. It is also nice to have someone to share expenses with and share stories with since we both travel in opposite directions most of the time. My parents are coming out in a month or so and that should be awesome to be able to show them around....especially since it is not like Boston! I have developed a lot in my job and also have new responsibilities and new countries that I am in charge of which is fantastic! Along with my personal duties and growth, the whole company has grown around me and it is amazing to be a part of something that you helped create! Who knows what the future holds for me!

A Visitor!

Yes, I know I have been bad at updating this blog, but I keep reminding myself to update it. The problem is that I am always on the road and rarely get to a computer while also having enough time to log on here and update it with new pictures. My friend, Markie from the Chicago area was able to come two weeks ago and visit during a week I had off between travels. We were able to travel all over Hong Kong and see all the sights from Victoria's Peak, Stanley Market, the Ladies Market, my new apartment in TST, and also going to Macau to see the new casinos like the Venetian and also going on a bike ride around town (having a local Macau bike tour guide bike us around!) It was an extremely busy week but was relaxing also! I have about a month of severe travel from Shanghai to Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta to Cairo ahead of me, but work is going well and I am enjoying my new roomie that I have in Hong Kong! Pictured is a photo from Macau looking out onto the contrasting skyline of old and new with old homes and stores and the new casinos in the background!
