Some of you know and others may have heard, I am leaving sunny Formosa as of today. Its all been a bit short notice but doesn’t involve drugs or other criminal activities (although that might have been fun).
After a bit of pressure from myself, my employers have agreed to send me to Shanghai to try out my new found Mandarin skills and to run one of our China businesses. Its a bit opportunity and I am very excited but will miss you guys terribly.
On the plus side I will be back from time to time, with a Taiwanese wife I obviously have family commitments here and will try to time the odd trip to coincide with Happy hour.
For those that are interested we finally went live with the new website design yesterday, not 100% perfect in terms of me having not done all the archive change over etc but time pressures should be obvious. You can have a look at www.ideas2earn.com and feel free to congratulate Tash if you like it or berate me if you don’t.
Take care all of you and keep looking for the positives in Taiwan, there are plenty there if you keep looking.
Brad.

Half the people I know seem to be moving to ShangHai. They all say it’s shit and horrible, but they’re going anyway. Wonder why? I’ve never been, I get all my info from historical soaps and it looks good on those. ‘Ye ShangHai, Yeee ShangHai’!

OMG, I just realized… EA and LL will be in the same city now!!!
Just imagine the catastrophic consequences of that collision (unintentional alliteration there, sorry)
Haven’t had the opportunity to meet you yet, but may perhaps have that opportunity sometime in the future. Until then, best of luck in Shanghai.
Wierd, I just lost a student whose entire family moved to Shanghai 'cos her dad works there now…
Is it just me, or does everyone seem to be leaving of late?
In the last year I had a friend who was/is married and her husband took a job in Shanghai. They moved there and she absolutely hated it.
Shes Taiwanese and she was sickened by the pollution and crowded living.
She’s been back for about 4 months. When I ask here if her husband is still there she just rolls her eyes and looks away.
I have no idea if shes still married. I think the Shanghai deal was the one that broke the camels back.
