So ... Did I accept the offer?

It has been a very long couple of weeks. Trying to figure out what the next course of plan would be should I accept the offer or turn it down? What this would mean for me now and my career aspirations.

Like I said in my earlier post, this would be a stepping stone to other interesting and career changing opportunities. I would need to quit my current job, move to the other side of the world away from family, friends and foes.

The uncertainty still remains as I am not sure what to expect, I am yet to arrive at answers to some of my questions. Some of which would not be answered until I commence on this new adventure.

So far, it has been a rocky road, one that I hope someday I will be able to look back and smile. I have been very excited about this offer and have been reading on Jinan, Shandong as well as China. Some reviews have been encouraging and some not so much. All in all, one thing is for sure - keeping an open mind provides some form of cushion.

I am sure with any decision in life, there are bound to be challenges and obstacles that makes you want to run the other way, change your mind, regret the choices you've made or wish you could time travel back to the past. I am hoping this is not one of those instances. I am anticipating lots of travels, time and wallet permitting.  

So ...

Did I accept the offer?

Yes I did.

I gave in my two weeks notice at work, started packing up some of my things that I will be taking with me the rest of my stuff I have found a storage space for (a bit skeptical about safety). FYI - Packing is not fun, especially when you have to consider airline baggage allowance. Although I am able to send some of my stuff over once my Visa is confirmed, I have been warned postal/ courier service to and from ... is not very reliable.

Enough of my packing dislikes.

Looking forward the next 12 month of UPs and DOWNs, happy and not so happy, culture shock and new experience. 

What's next ...
