Life out here is never short on big ideas and pies in the sky. I've said many times that people have multiple projects running at the same time with varying degrees of importance, but it is really surprising how ever present it is. We continue moving forward with our core business but people, partners even, keep suggesting new ideas or services to bolster our offerings or expand our base. I worry sometimes that this chronic entrepreneurialism dilutes real business out here, and keeps people from really focusing on delivering a quality product. Perhaps that is just the way real success is achieved though. We often mention the two approaches to attracting clients: The shotgun, and the sniper. There are not many snipers out here.
On a more pressing note, I am off to Hong Kong today to renew my wonderful tourist visa in hopes that I can continue backpacking through the countryside, taking pictures with locals who I think are just fantastic, sampling local regional cuisine, and really embracing my fascination with the wonderful Chinese culture. Yep, some things really are great out here, and visas can be one of them, but venturing out of the country to renew is always a bit harrowing since you never really know how much they'll scrutinize your application.
Perhaps I will post from Hong Kong tomorrow.
