2 Holidays in a week? Yes!

2 Holidays in a week? Yes!

Over the next 7 days, I am only going to be at home for 3 days!

Tomorrow morning I am going to Batangas, the same location that my favourite local coffee is grown. We will be staying on the beach, drinking, smoking and playing games in the sun.

I will return home late in the evening of Sunday the 27th.

After just two nights, I will be leaving early again on Wednesday 30th at stupid o’clock in the morning and heading to the airport to go to Hong Kong for the night. We have a full day planned in Hong Kong, going to every location that we want to see.

I will be making a full post covering both our weekend in Batangas and our two days in Hong Kong.

Although I will be working while away, I will mostly be out and about. Heck, in Batangas, I will be sat on the beach doing my work via mobile internet!

While I will be having a great time away, I unfortunately still have to be logging onto my pc to check my sites and do a little work.

Hong Kong, not UK

Hong Kong, not UK

When I came to the Philippines, my initial plan was to stay as long as I could setting up a home and then go back to the UK for a week, then returning to the Philippines. This would allow me to enter under a new visa and stay in the Philippines while I continued setting up my business and eventually got my business visa.

However, a flight to the UK will cost around £2000 for myself and my girlfriend, but a weekend in Hong Kong will cost just £500 for us both. Plus, when I return to the Philippines from Hong Kong, I will be able to enter using my British passport which will give me a new visa.

At the moment, I simply can not afford the extra £1500 it would cost to fly to the UK, not to mention the spending money we would need for a week.

I will be flying back to the uk at some point, but just not yet. I am sorry for any disappointment, but god damn it it would take a whole day to get to the UK and you know how much I hate travelling anywhere!

Final week in the UK

As another week begins, I realize that it is my final week in the uk.

In just 7 days, I will be on a British Airways flight between Heathrow and Hong Kong, en route to Manila.

I have spent the previous week saying goodbye to most of my friends. The remaining friends are yet to contact me or reply. Funny how some things show who your real friends are.

Well, I guess this is it. The countdown is upon me and I am rushing to get everything completed before I have to leave for the airport.
