life as an investment banker in hong kong has been a lot calmer than i expected. aside from the business class flights, five star hotel suites and 21 hour work days when i go on business trips, my life has been pretty structured. wake up. go to work. go to the gym. back to work. come home. call friends/family. go to sleep. rise lather and repeat.
it sounds a bit boring, but im actually kind of enjoying it. it makes the occasional beer or dinner with a friend all that much more special. and i feel better too. after years and years of waking up in the middle of the day, going to sleep in the middle of the night. eating unhealthy crap, and heavy drinking, i quite welcome the change. and if i get bored...there's always Shopping (with a capital S for emphasis) :) hong kong is a heaven for shoppers. and if that's not enough, there's always the internet. like back in the times of 1.00.. and its good knowing that if i ever wanted a crazy night out, the nightlife is there. if hong kong's not enough, there's always bangkok, seoul, tokyo, and all the little touristy asian cities.
maybe this is me getting old, but i really enjoy my time at home. especially cleaning up my place, cooking, doing laundry while sipping on a glass of wine. maybe i'm really meant to be a housewife? maybe one day i'll become a day trader so i can make millions of dollars while sitting at home. not a bad deal if i can pull it off.
