Introduction...

你好!

Welcome to Downtown Chinatown...

I've been here for almost 2 months now. I have struggled, met new people, survived and adjusted...

This is a new beginning, a new journey, something that is interesting, challenging and surprising. Initially I had no plans of going to China. I had been working for more than 1 year. 3 measly days after graduation. I worked in a very aggressive company that sent me to places, endured some pain and equipped me with a better knowledge of having a business...

I was sent to Thailand where I became more independent and learned how to live alone. I dealt with big people, people who were twice my age. People who were more experienced. People who can crush you if you are weak.

I earned their respect, their trust, their hearts. I earned a lot from my job. I was on top. I was unbreakable, at least I thought I was. Then it all went down. I have to go back. Some circumstances, people that I never thought would screw me did. But I am man enough to accept my fate. Everything happens for a reason. I continued to work, I did not complain. I moved on...

After a few months, an opportunity came knocking at my door. That opportunity brought me to where I am today. The most developed city in whole of China, Shanghai. I took another risk in my life. Give up my job, leave my comfort zone and go to somewhere where I have zero knowledge about the language, culture and place. I did not even know where to go, how to get there. What weather they had. Sure I asked around but it was never ever enough...

But then, life is always full of surprises. I just have to leave every day as it comes. It will be a hell of a ride! What will happen, I don't know. Nothing is certain...

We will both find out...
