Jan - Celebrate New Year in Tokyo
Feb - London for company training until Apr
Mar - Prague, stockholm for weekend trips
Apr - Trip to Japan (Kyoto, Tokyo) after training
May - New departure, new role in my previous company
June - Got an email from a friend whom I met in London, and that changed my life thereafter. (Story: She sent me the link to apply for a English teaching job in Tokyo, I did and got the job, a week after that I quitted my job at HSBC...)
July - Couldn't stop thinking about how life would be in Japan, waiting for my working visa
Aug - Boyfriend came to HK to visit, waiting for my working visa
Sept - Preparing to leave, bought my ticket to Tokyo and then heard from employer that my visa application was rejected
Oct - Plan changed, went to Hokkaido instead while I was waiting for my visa (second attempt). After joining WWOOF, i got a list of host establishment to choose from. I chose Hokkaido because I have never been there, I went to small pension called Niseko Milky and helped them out with simple work and translations, in return I got free accommodation and meals. End of October, I finally got my visa approval, then flew back to HK.
Nov - Back to HK for a few days to get the visa and then came back to Tokyo to start the 10 days training.
Dec - Settling down, went to watch my friend surfing and Christmas party at my new place.
That's my year! A fabulous year that made it really hard to say goodbye!
I wish everyone a wonderful 2007!
