Hell yeah it’s 2023!

Hello everyone, welcome to another Anywhere with Choi. Today I’m going to take you with me to The Pirates Week Festival 2019. I’m not sure if we are going to have it this year, hopefully we do, but with all that’s going on around the world I doubt it. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and let’s appreciate Cayman Islands once more in this national festival. What is Pirates Week?

It’s Sunday. We made it through the week! So let me ask you something, how have you been? Well in my case, it’s a pretty normal week but a little more productive than the last one.

Lately, I’ve been so caught up with work and this whole transition that my days feel like one long checklist. Head down, moving from one thing to the next, barely pausing to breathe. But today, something different happened. I stepped outside, took a moment, and for once actually looked up. And right there, under the same sky I’ve walked under for years, it hit me: I’m standing in the exact place I used to dream about. A few years ago, I remember passing by this building and quietly telling myself, “One day, I want to work there.” Back then, it felt so… far away. Fast forward to now, here I am. In the middle of the grind, yes. Tired most days, definitely. But also… exactly…
