"So what are you going to do when you move back to Hong Kong?"

That must be the most frequently asked question from various people to me lately.  My answer?

"I have no idea."

Seriously I have no idea.  Not the foggiest clue.

"OMG, but how are you going to make a living and pay rent and stuff?"

Once again - I don't know.

So I made one of the biggest decisions in my life, to leave all that I have behind in South Africa, go to India to learn yoga, bum around Asia for half a year, do a belated gap year in Australia doing odd jobs and travelling around with the money I make there, and no, I have no back up plan.  Maybe I will move to Australia.  Maybe I will teach yoga.  Maybe I will just get married and have kids and live happily ever after.  

"How can you not have a plan??"

Well I did for most of my life.  I planned to do well for high school.  I did.  I planned to get into university.  I did.  I planned to get a degree.  I did.  Almost 4 years after I graduated, am I doing anything remotely related to what I studied?  NO.  Do I want to be?  NO.  I did.  And I didn't enjoy it, so where did plans take me?  Absolutely nowhere.

Therefore I'm just going to go with the flow and see where life takes me.

Namaste.
