Singapore Panorama - Borrowed from Wikipedia
Well folks, my long stay, just over 6 years, in Beijing is coming to an end. It is time to finish this chapter in my life (and boy, has it been an interesting one), and begin a new one.
Melanie has accepted a position in Singapore, and like a dutiful “almost-spouse”, I will be tagging a long.
Timing? Most likely in July. I have classes to finish up here (ending end of June). I plan on traveling around China for around a month or so (at least a couple of weeks), and then I’m off.
Friends from the states who thought about visiting? You missed your chance! (except for Jason who’s coming at the end of June). You had 6 years…

Still can’t really believe it…

Agree with Tom. Seems difficult to imagine how a China market could function effectively without CDrum. Someone’s going to need to explain to me how that might work going forward, before I can sign off on anything.

Now that’s a surprise or not really, I would have done the same! So all visitors should set sail destination Singapore now? Hope to see you before you get lost in packing up!

Well I didn’t see it coming neither. So who do you see as a potential successor for the Chuanr group? I mean you don’t find a Chuanr Czar like this…

Wow. Finally you made your decision. How is the job market in Singapore?

Hopefully the job market in Singapore is good… There seems to be jobs being advertised, but will see if they are real jobs or just feelers by the employers.

It’s always exciting to move! Good luck finding work! And Chris, I may not have visited you in Beijing but if you stay in Singapore I can confidently say you’ll see me every now and then! (sister-in-law lives there). Also, Joanne might be traveling to Beijing on business but it will probably be after you leave – bummer!

Wow, has it really been 6 years?
I’ve really been thinking about visiting too. That’s too bad, but I’ll visit vicariously through Jason.
Good luck with moving! I’ll start saying that I plan on visiting you in Singapore from now on
To Matt:
When you first said sister-in-law, I thought Zach had gotten married. Can’t discount that; he’s old enough now, right?

Hey, so you are coming to Singapore. Do ping me

Chris, it’s both Beginning and the End. Or so I heard. Emphasis on the former.
I hope for the best for the both of you.
