Today is a little sad, as Joe has been unable to
find a corporate computer job, and absolutely does not want to turn himself into an ESL teacher.
We are forming plans to be again together next
summer, after he has completed his new courses he wants to take in Canada to improve his work skills.
This will give me time too to work on my business
ideas, though we would rather things have gone differently.
The whole idea of renting rooms out of our huge
home fell apart too, as this was just too offbeat an idea, though I turned over twenty requests for rooms.
I am just going to end up another Hong Kong work
person.
I got up in the morning and went swimming for an
hour, and was amazed by the amount of weekend people out here.
I was worried they would all be plunging into the
water at the same time, though hardly any were, and they just like to stroll along the pathways, passing skinny dogs, tiny
trail bikes, and lots of local Brits and upscale Chinese weekenders.
There is a lot of practical things to be done,
in spite of missing China, missing Montreal, and now missing Joe.
Chamma Tau has cost us over 25,000 HK in2 months, and now I
have to live in a hotel as well.
Because Joe had his heart set on a computer job, and could
not find one, there is no bending of the plans.
I may therefore give up ESL teaching next year, and just stay
at home in Canada.,
My heart is full of deep sadness.
Also, I feel alone in Hong Kong, as I did not in China.
