The next stage

Most of my friends have stepped on the treadmill to another stage of life, that of rearing kids, finding the best education for them, finding housing in the suburbs of America.  Getting the best job and conquering the best career path has already become a passed chapter of our lives.  Instead, the center of our lives have moved onto those of our descendants.

I wonder where my stop will be. I am used to the convenience of Hong Kong and its international flavor but I am tired of the lack of romance in this city.  The transient nature makes building a stable life more difficult.  How can most of my friends still be from outside of Hong Kong after making this place my home for eight years?

I hung out a lot with my entrepreneur business school friend this past week, who made quite a few bit of money selling his business recently.  He is recently single and highly mobile.  But not sure if there is a chance. I had dinner with him and his mother and went to a dance that he invited me to.  All before we met at the airport before he headed off to a conference in Mexico City.  I've known him a long time and know his entire family.  I have no flirtatious power to take it further and not even sure if I should go with it but who knows.. he is a decent guy and has everything on paper, tall good looking, wealthy, and not the kind of arrogant rude guy sitting next to me.
