Good morning from Hong Kong

I hadn't really planned on getting up here this day, but I came across and article and am unapologetic in posting an article I came across on msnbc.com today. This may be a knee-jerk posting but hey, it's the interwebs, it was built for this sort of thing.

Anyway, you can find the article here, and perhaps I won't go into detail about it's contents here, but I laud the author in the same way I laud the efforts of Matt Stone and Trey Parker for their satire.




Next time I'm in Hong Kong I'll be sure to have my snazzy new picture taker, and put up a post of some of the sites you can expect to come across while being an expat out here.

Comments are always welcome of course.

Fingers Crossed

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.
