Many thanks, Amy. I hope you get a chance to read it and if you do, please let me know what you think.
Sounds intriguing. My friends son and his partner are just about to embark on an adventure to Hong Kong where he has a work assignment. I look forward to reading this.
Hong Kong is a marvellous place with the advantage of Asia being so accessible once he’s located there. We had a fascinating three years. Thanks for stopping by, Lisa. Great blog you have.
