I’m American. Moving to Hong Kong for 3 years was a huge culture shock and a huge middle finger to “American exceptionalism”.
But moving back AFTER the worse of the pandemic??? Holy shit. A massive shock - there was a sort of post-apocalyptic exhausted survivors vibe to everyone and everything.
I work with a lot of people from HK. It seems tough over there.
On one hand, we receive a lot of work from HK companies looking to move jobs elsewhere. It’s one of the things making the economy a bit less bad than elsewhere presently.
On the other hand, I really wish you all the best and hope things improve.
