So it's now June, my final month living and working in this beautiful city. I first moved to Hong Kong in early 2017 for what was meant to be 3 months. Then a few wonderful people helped make the move permanent and the rest is history.

A bit of a different thread today... 1/6

I am very proud to have been a part of Bloomberg's HK bureau, an incredibly welcoming, collaborative, hardworking and resilient group of people. To everyone in print, TV, radio, QuickTake, social, security (Jimmy and Michael!) hair & make up (Maria and Marco!) - thank you. 2/6

China markets - what a beat. Covering this part of the world is thrilling, exasperating, rewarding. I dug up my first HK TV appearance with @DavidInglesTV, when the MSCI China was in a bull market. It's had another 4 bull runs and 5 bear markets since. 3/6

I've been lucky to travel to the mainland, both as a journalist and tourist. I hope to be back. There are so many places still to visit and the bucket list is long, starting with a mala pilgrimage to Chengdu (accompanied by one of these). 4/6

We have excellent people covering mainland China, HK, Taiwan. 5/6

In three weeks I'll be back in London, where it all started with Bloomberg 11 years ago. I'll be joining an exciting new project with @BloombergUK and @markets - still writing and talking about the price of things.

Plenty more to say about that soon. 6/6
