Its the end of the world as we know it...

Its true, our up to now socially hectic life here in Honkers is about to come to a sudden death.

This week I start the course to prepare for the Overseas Lawyers Qualification Exam (OLQE). Keeping in line with true Hong Kong philosophy that one is born to work like a dog, the course has been set for 4 nights a week (7pm - 10pm), and Saturdays for FOUR months. I then have to sit 4 exams, which up to date have about a 70% failure rate.

Why, you may ask?? Well, in order to be admitted here one needs to sit the exams. I am currently working as a Registered Foreign Lawyer, which could continue except that my new firm would prefer that I became admitted here. I have to admit, I agree that it would be better for me to qualify here as a local lawyer - however am I prepared for whats ahead? I don't think so!! Especially given that there is a very good chance I will be doing it all again next year:)

Ahhh, I guess this may explain any sudden drop in blog postings, for which I apologise in advance!! Wish me luck...
