On Thursday I finally flew to Kenya to start a new job and a new life; having spent almost 2 months off working through various recruitment approvals and processes as I moved from Huawei HQ to Huawei Kenya. Andrea and the girls will be here in a month after stopping by Europe.
It's a big deal. I think the change surprises others (who never thought we'd ever leave China) more than us. There's several reasons for the move such as work and education but it's one step closer to Europe and time for a new, and interesting adventure, after spending such a long time in China.
China is still an interesting place of course, though it is probably changing less nowadays, and I remain interested in seeing how the future there evolves. None-the-less, whilst hoping we don't regret leaving one of the safest countries in the world and one of the easiest and most convenient lifestyles there is, a new adventure is exciting and interesting personally and professionally--some things are in place and others are not, but over the next few months we'll work things out as a family.
I expect a whole new raft of blogs if I find the time about the new experience and the new life--and some updates on how things are going. As ever the blog is part a personal diary and reflection and part an update for anyone that is interested.
So come to Kenya--a place with easy-to-get e-visas, fantastic climate year-round, and a relatively safe and mosquito-free environment plus of course national parks, beaches and much more. It is one of the most dynamic and leading countries in Africa and a bit of a shining light....long may it continue!
