Moving to china

This is a log of my experiences in moving to China.
I am moving with a large international company to live in Huizhou, about 2 hours north of Hong Kong in the Guangdong province.
As my family is partly at school, I am separated by a 12 hour flight from them. This however is closer than many migrant workers in Asia, who take days to get home to their family.

I flew to Hong Kong on Virgin Airlines, enjoying a comfortable seat en route ...




this had a table which worked well as a small desk - and the seat folded down to make a bed.

I arrived in Hong Kong, where the signs are in both English and Chinese ... not realising how much of a luxury this is. When I arriven in Dan Shui I realised that English signs are few.

"

I was given an excessively large appartment to live in - with 5 toilets and 4 showers (and 4 double beds)



.. however no desk, so I have had to improvise ...
