sakazima Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 good morning all, I have spent the last few days reading a wealth of information, really cool site!I left SA about 7 years ago for a job in Dubai, where I stayed for 2 years, then to Doha for 2 years and then on to cyprus for 2, I have now bwwn in Hong kong for about a year. I am a single mother of a 4 year old (I am no longer in touch with his father but that is a whole other long sory). I am really keen to settle down now, my son has been to 3 schools already and his passport has to be renewed as it is just about full. I have never really taken to HK and feel this would be a good time to settle down somewhere and give my son and myself a place we can start to put down some roots. the problem is, my parents accepted a job offer in HK, so we are all together as a family which really helps but they are not ready to leave as my dad has a really good job. I just feel I have been travelling for the last 7 years and have had enough. So I am starting to look for work. it is really early days so I hope you don't mind me asking tons of questions in the future. Also I would love to hear from any other single mothers: how have you managed....Sorry to ramble... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antzy Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Hijust thought i'd say a big welcome too! making this decision to relocate so far away from everything you've known for years is daunting, esp as single mom as you are doing this "on your own" with a young child. take one day at a time and keep reminding yourself of the bigger (brighter) picture...will stay in touch.antz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
