A little about me: I am a food lover, avid reader and keen traveller who moved to Hong Kong in January 2011. In my day-to-day life I work in tech PR and manage international PR campaigns.
The blog is about my life in Hong Kong. It is meant to be a way to keep in touch with my friends, family, colleagues, former class-/flat-/house-/podmates and share my experiences with them.
It is also a way of sharing details about how I moved to Hong Kong, the different challenges/obstacles I faced, what I love about Hong Kong and just general experiences of living in Asia – and clearly that’s for everyone, who is interested in reading my blog.
Feel free to leave comments or if you prefer email, contact me at blue_balu at h o t m a i l dot com

Hello Ruth!
My girlfriend and I will be working at Discovery College this coming year and this blog is amazing!! We’ve had so many thoughts and questions and your blog really helped shed so much light on our situation. Thank you so much, it really is exactly what we were hoping to find! We’re confident that we’ll live in Discovery Bay and are counting down the days until we arrive (mid-July 2012!!)
Thanks so much!
Bruce and Evonne
Hi Bruce and Evonne,
thanks for your lovely note. I really appreciate it.
Hope that your move goes well, I am sure you will enjoy living in Hong Kong, it’s a great city!
Have a great day,
Ruth
I’m SO glad that I found your blog! I was born in Hong Kong but moved to the States nine years ago. This summer will be my first time back in three years, I MISS IT SO MUCH! but at the same time, I feel really unfamiliar with HK now. It feels so nice to be reading your blog entries and finding out about new things and places in HK that I never knew :)
Hi Jaycee – that’s great. Let me know of any places that I’ve not been to and that you recommend! There is so much to HK to see and do, but it’s so much nicer to receive recommendations! :) Ruth
