I can't believe it. I am actually leaving to Germany from Hong Kong in a few days! I have a few concerns about my stay:
1/ Do I look like I speak German? No right. If truth be told, I only know a few dirty words, and that's all. I have enrolled in an intensive German course, and now I'm reading
2/ MAC products are more expensive in Germany, and I don't know if we have a MAC shop near my university. Back here in Hong Kong, I can reach 6 MAC shops within 45 minutes. I immediately hop to another MAC if one is short of what I need.
3/ Jobs. I need to get a freelance English teaching job before I can talk about MAC.
4/ Packing. I don't look like a light packer, do I? And if I'm going to pack for 4 seasons, that's pretty bothering. And how should I wrap my makeup so the pressed powder won't break?
5/ Yesterday I went out with my friends to the 32/F of a building to look at the skyscrapers of Hong Kong and enjoyed a drink or two. Then I know it's the right moment to leave.
When I studied overseas for the first time a few years back, I learned that even I was down, it was not the end of the world, because hardly could I reach the end when the world was that big. Australians didn't quite see my problems as problems. I no longer lingered in my trivial matters, and my experiences made me who I am today. (Well and I learned that one way of getting rid of one problem is to encounter another bigger one!)
Will Germany suit me like other western countries do? I'm yet to explore.

Gosh Sourire is so beautiful. And I really want to try the Bobbi Brown Mineral Foundation now, too (Bobbi Brown is one of my favorite brands and I have always used only her base products). I just recently got into powder foundations for the first time ever--but I totally forgot BB made one so I went with bareMinerals instead. Must got grab one this week!
Oh and good luck in Germany! I'm so jealous of you, that must be so liberating to be able and travel and live in another country
Wow, good luck in Germany! That is such an amazing opportunity, and I wish you the best. ^^
Hahah, at least you have a few dirty german words in your arsenal. My extent of German is "Guten tag" and "danke schoen." And while there may be no MAC stores near you, you'll hopefully be able to find lovely German-based brands!!
Would you like to follow each other on GFC? (:

WOW that's great news! guess who's in germany, too? ;) ME! don't hesitate to ask anything ok? where exactly are you going anyways?
if you can't afford MAC for the initial time in GER, you can always get the amazing, but super affordable Catrice and (depending on where you live) Inglot products ;)
hope you have a great time left in HK and a fresh and exciting start in your new place!
Welcome to Germany! That´s cool:)
Love this look and the colors together.

Wishing you a wonderful experience n Germany dear. It's quite easy to pick up as it's close to English, although there are many different rules in the language. Sometimes I even forget and most of my father's family is German, haha! I love that yellow colour shadow! -xx
your skin looks flawless!
Gorg!
I live in Germany :-) in Hamburg. Be excited about it and positiv to it. you'll like it

These are legitimate concerns! But you're so lucky to be able to travel from country to country and explore! It sounds like it's going to be such an adventure. Good luck on your move and I hope you can find a job so MAC won't be too far out of your reach :P

Darling, if you survived Australia, you'll survive Germany too! I think Europeans don't see a problem as a problem like an Asian =P
I have a suggestion: Why don't you pack 2 seasons lighter, then you might see the urgency of getting a job there and once you get a job, you can start shopping for the next 2 seasons?!! TAH DAH!! *I hope you don't think I'm crazy by now *
