Summer break

So the end of the school year is here already and I find myself on the Airport Express heading back to the UK after 6 months away.

Since Easter I have found myself more and more disillusioned with HK. I love the city and the opportunities it presents but I'm not convinced that I essentially fit here. It's such an emotionally cold place and I find the massive divide between expats and locals difficult to overcome.

I hoped by moving abroad to be surrounded by opportunities to experience a different culture; instead I'm surrounded by people more concerned with champagne,  complaining about their cleaners they pay pittance to and making sure everyone knows what an 'awesome' time they are having.

It's not everyone and I have met some truly amazing people - they know exactly who they are and why I feel that way.

Maybe it was seeing expat life in Seoul that did it. I genuinely fell in love with that place and the people there. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, there felt like no divide. So maybe that's where I start looking next.

Maybe by being in the UK again I'll snap out of the dip and remember what I love here. The hiking, the access to so much of the world.....

Or I move to Korea
