Well I've been here for just a little over 1.5 months and I am pleased that business is running smoothly and well beyond expectations. So good that I have decided to make Auckland as one of my permanent homes in order to concentrate on this highly valuable market position. ^ Initially the relocation plans was only for temporary.

Thus after applying for extension of our working permits, we received the acknowledgement three weeks ago that our permits have indeed been extended for three years for us to further develop our business. Of course it has not been easy and we had to dedicate tons of effort, time, and hard work to be succesfull and with another relocation issue to deal with recently, the migration of our NA office from YVR & LAX to one big office in Toronto where I will also be relocating to the Great White North City by the Lake and also with the need to travel in great distances between city to city at the same time, I have been seemingly in no position to relax anytime soon.

Nonetheless the hard work, dedication, and effort is well spent and worth the energy usage as I now welcome Auckland and Toronto into my lives along with Hong Kong.

Splitting time between the three places (tentative timeline):


Toronto - Northern Hemisphere Fall, Northern Hemisphere Winter, Northern Hemisphere Spring
Auckland - Southern Hemisphere Winter & Possibly carry on into Southern Hemisphere Spring
Hong Kong - Multiple visits year round including visits while based in YYZ & AKL.

How will I now fare with having very little exposure to summer during the course of each year?
