You may recall we met briefly at Learning 2.0. My wife and I made a very rushed and ill-researched decision 3 years ago to take up a position in Hong Kong where we found ourselves 12 months later without jobs, little money and poor options for picking up back in Perth from where we had come. 2 years later we are still in love with Hong Kong and have no plans to move on yet. My wife has become the breadwinner and enabled me to pursue my dream of working independently in the field of Educational Technology. (Now if only I can find a way to make it pay the rent!)
Sometimes doors opens in places we least expect them. We simply need to be open to looking into different rooms.
Best wishes for the future. I have every confidence it will be a rosey one.

This shows how far behind on reading I am. Almost 5 days have gone by and I had no earthly idea about this.

Some very fortunate district will be blessed to have your talents. I look forward to being a part of and reading about this new journey in your life.

Tom.

Big step. It must be a bit scary, though thrilling at the same time. Gone are the old times. Do you remember when you were at university how the professors listed the steps to making a good career? Nothing is like that any more. Work, play, life is an adventure. I wish you and your family a very fine adventure at that.
