Today 08/01/10, I'm gonna leave the U.S. and fly over to Hamburg, Germany. Once I leave, I'll never come back to the U.S. next 5 years NO MATTER WHAT. To me today is a new start line in my career, it is about taking myself to next level as a human and as a culinarly professional.
Since 2001 except short period of time(I was in France, Germany, Australia and Japan total of about 7 months) I've been in the U.S. traveling across the country and worked best restaurants in my sense. I clearly remember the moment I came NY first time April 2000 before I go to Australia. Everything is totally differnt from Japan, flashy, vibrant and make my senses excited.... BUT now after 9 years living this counrtry, no matter wherever I go , everything looks "grey" and don't energize my senses. I felt totally same 10 years ago, when I was in Japan. I need to move out and see the brave new world.
Travel is definely one of the things I cannot live without. When I travel, the air I breath, the wind I feel, the scenery refelct on my vision, everything I feel is a total new life experience or should I call life energy? And it activates my spirit & imaginations and revitalize my senses & inspiration. For me it is almost fuel to live my life.
Now, I'm going to Europe. Everything completely new to me, this gonna be full of inspirations. And this is not gonna be easy, I need a sponsorship, visa, work permisison to work in europe. But... I call it this is a fight to prove myself what I am. I'll prove myself what I am and find a restaurant where I can dedicate my passion with a team that shares my spirit and can inspire me. Passion, Spirit, Inspiration, this is my second chapter.
The pic showing is my knives I carry right now, total of 12, I'll take 7 of them and some selected kitchenware, otherwise my backpack gonna be too heavy. I hope I can set my job quick and get back my other 5 children and other personal belongs leave behind. Thank you & Farewell, U.S.A.....Labels: CJWDT
