UK

UK, what can I say?

My 1st Overseas Experience
My 1st Dating Experience
My 1st Fighting Experience
My 1st Working Experience
My.......

The List went on and on.....
All happened in UK.

I spent a Total of 10 years in UK.
As a Student, as a Husband & as a Father.
And oh, yes, as a Runner.
My wife & I ran away from her family in UK.
Ran to HK!
24 years ago!

Strange enough, I still had some good feelings about UK,
Even though I'd a lot of Tough Times therein.

The once Greatest Empire now seems to be Falling & Falling.
Economically, Politically & Socially.

Strange enough, when I applied for HSBC Premier Account in Nov 08,
It was HSBC UK sent me the Premier Card First, then the HSBC HK.
HSBC AUS was the Last, even though I'm living in Australia!!
Even though the card needed 7 days to arrive OZ from UK!!

HSBC UK even had a Relationship Manager to ring me.
Not once, Not twice, but three times!!
Three Times a Man! (NOT a lady)

UK even giving me a pension (provided that I live till 66!).
Even though I'd worked there for about 3 1/2 years only!

The Strangest thing of all was,
Every time when I rang UK,
Be it Tax office, Bank Office etc.
It was always answered by a REAL Human Voice!
Not all these pre-recorded "robot" voice.

In 2006, UK had revised its Education System,
(Last done was in 1976!)
Raising the Compulsory School Age from 16 to 18.
Some Councils provide FREE school bus for students NOT living walking distance of schools!

So, even though UK Government has so far spent about 1.2 trillion Sterling pounds in rescuing the banks,
Which is over 80% of its GDP.
Even though UK is basically Broke,
I'm still very interested in visiting UK a.s.a.p.

See first hand what opportunities it is now offering.
The Low Property Price, the Low Exchange Rate (rebound a bit lately), the..

And of course, the HSBC particular.
The world's 4th largest bank.
And the First True Big Overseas Bank to be listed in China!!
