RE: Colorchallenge Friday - Blue Skies With Yellow Beer 🍺
the further away from home we go the closer we get to who we really are.
That makes sense to me, and this too..
Unconsciously we have always been defined not only by who we are but also by whom we are with. When you take that away you are stripped off a lot of security and that's when you learn to build your completely own persona.
Sounds like you are well aware of what would need to change, if anything, and have the 'man on a mission' potential if you decide to do so!
Haha who knows maybe we will meet in Nepal ;)
Dan! I'm abh12345's girlfriend. He just told me about you so I looked you up. I lived in Hangzhou for 6 months (and had to leave the country... long story) last year. Small world. What do you do there? How long have you been away from home? I totally relate to how you feel... been an expat, living away from what people call "home" for more than a decade. Are you there mainly to save up (that's the main reason I went)? Do you often go to Shanghai? Its so closeby...
Hi there ! Sorry to hear about your short experience here :( I moved to China 15 years ago when I was 16. I moved here because my dad started working in Shanghai. I got tired of the big city life after some years and that's when I retreated to Hangzhou. I still go to Shanghai sometimes, it's nice for visiting, but for living I don't like it so much ! Right now I am running a trading company which i helped a Swedish Company to open. I am planning to head back home to Sweden in the beginning of the next year, because by now I have spent half of my life here and I want to go back hehhe
So you are fluent in Swedish, English, and Mandarin I suppose. You must have millions of crazy stories to tell... that's a looooong time in China! Moving back to Sweden after so many years has got to be a strange feeling. At least you'll get to breathe fresher air and refill your lungs :) Lovely to meet you Dan!
Nice to meet you as well ! Yea it might be a reversed culture schock hehe. But I am definitely looking forward to some fresh air !
