Spent 5 days in Taipei. Solely getting around using Mandarin and didn’t have any problems! Great step in the right direction. :)

How I did it: It's been a bumpy road to get here. But next week, I start a new job. Along the way I attended countless number of interviews. Whether it went well or not (regardless of not getting the job) I think I learnt so much about the job process and building up the confidence to really believe in myself. Maybe a part of it was luck. I used to believe it was up to me to create my own luck. Yet this time, I actually prayed and burnt an incense… Read how I did it…
Another year is drawing to a close, passing before my eyes, in the blink of an eye. As always I look back thinking where did the time go.
Strangely, it doesn’t feel like 5 months ago since I first added this goal. After being a bit lost for most of last year, I started working in a completely unfamiliar environment. Its feels like its been a longer journey than it actually was on reflection.
I feel like really did work hard this year in different ways.
Sometimes maybe losing control a bit, speeding at 100mph work wise in the office. I know I still need to learn how to adjust and manage the workload better, so I’m not in the office for longer than necessary. I know that will come with time. But after a 9 month stretch, I’m finally heading off to spend new years on holiday abroad. :)
