The moving boxes along with some packing materials that my husband ordered arrived yesterday and so I started packing today.
I don’t know if I clearly mentioned in any of my blogs that we will definitely leave China sometime in April but I remember briefly mentioning about moving here, here, and here. My husband is not so happy with his job here anymore so it’s time for us to move on. We plan to just go and settle in Austria but there are some talks of Mexico so at this point, we are still not 100% sure of our destination.
I hate moving. Not just because I have to pack everything and that I have to prepare all the needed papers for the shipping but also because I sort of have a life here. I like this city even though there are just some things I haven‘t quite gotten used to. I like living here.
I know from the start that this is not where we will stay for the rest of our lives but “this move” is just too soon. And I would simply go crazy if we move to Mexico because that means there will be a time that we have to move out of that country and at this point, it’s just painful to think that this won’t be the last time we have to pack our things and go.
I get attach to things, places, and people so it is always difficult for me to leave.

Hi Vien.. I can relate well with your predicament. Being an expat, moving is inevitable.
And I learned in a hardway to limit my attachment to people. I work in a country where 99% of my colleagues and friends are expat.
The best we can do is just enjoy the moment and cherish the memories.
