皆様ご無沙汰しております。
現在都内のホテルから書いております(笑)
Long time no see,,,
Now I'm preparing this post from in the hotel in Tokyo(＾＾；)
大変遅いご報告になりましたが、先日7月3日に日本に帰国いたしましたm(- -)m
It must be a late notice,,,, I have arrived in Japan on 3rd July.m(- -)m
本来はすぐにご報告したかったのですが、手続きで忙しかったのもありますが、住所が決まるまでに住んでいる会社の寮にインターネット環境がないのでパソコンをインターネットにつなぐことができず、この3連休にホテルに滞在してようやく画像等の整理やブログを書くことができました。
At first I wanted to notice it sooner but due to many procedures, actually, to no Internet access from the company dormitory where I'm temporarry living before finding new apartment, I moved to this hotel for tiding photos up and prepare blogs during this 3 days holiday.
さて、ずっとこれまで触れないでいましたが、記事のタイトルにもありますが、香港には11年間住んでいました。
Then, I have not mentioned before on this blog before, as on the title of this post, I had lived in Hong Kong for 11 years.
2011年の7月3日に日本を出国して、2022年の7月3日に帰国したので、本当に11年間ちょうどです(＾∀＾;)
I had left Japan on 3rd July 2011, returned to Japan on 3rd July 2022, means I had lived in Hong Kong in JUST 11 years(＾∀＾;)
狙ったのかと言われたら、正直言うとほんの少しだけ狙いました(笑)
仕事の引継ぎや引っ越しの日程を調整していたら、6月最終週辺りになりそうだったので、ほんの少しだけ理由を盛りました。
Tired or did not try?? Y,,es. I tried to make some small reasons(＾∀＾;)
Considering the job take over and precedures for moving, leving date had been expected on some day on the last week June, so I made some small reason for hitting the date on 3rd July.
ちなみにですが、今回の香港赴任が人生初の海外でしたので、パスポートも会社の経費で作成して、涙目で香港に来ました。
コロナ禍の香港内でパスポートを更新して、ずっと出国できなかったので、古いパスポートの最初のスタンプと新しい現在のパスポートの最初のスタンプがそれぞれ11年間の香港生活の最初と最後になりました。
And then, this my working in Hong Kong was my first going abroad from Japan, of course?, my first passport was issued by company cost and had left Japan with much tear on my eyes.
I updated my passport in Hong Kong during this Covid time, I could not go out from Hong Kong so the first stamps on my both passport were the first and the last of 11 years Hong Kong life.
普段生活のことはあまり書かないですが、下記は最終日までの様子です★
