Day 3

Salutations,

What does it say about me when I get excited sitting in a coffee shop in the heart of the finance district during market meltdowns listening to people in a variety of languages and accents discuss the world economy. It is fascinating to see the world from an Asian perspective, or perhaps simply a more global and less North American focus. If you are worried about your investments then you do not have your safe, long term money properly set up. Read "The Millionaire Next Door" for the most fantastic common sense explanation on how wealth is built over the long term. Who really has money and why...and why those looking the part find themselves unable to sustain such life styles into full or part-time retirement. Kim I know you are already glazing over at the mere mention of financial markets. Don't beat yourself up over being bored with it all it is absolutely amazing how little all the experts know about building your net asset value (wealth)...but as we all know, the boring truth does not sell papers and too many people are fueling same looking for that silver bullets to once and for all slay the markets haha.

Another great day in Hong Kong. Enjoyed authentic Chinese food last night and sight seeing around the Kowloon side. Lia I was going to wonder into a few Russian restaurants but without you I was too chicken :) For the most part it was a hectic day as it was moving day. Stayed at Bill's last night and it was great to get some rest, a proper shower and a little down time. Took the ferry back to the main Hong Kong Island and got a great view of the entire harbour. Off to Thailand today to see Rob and I am quite excited about that. Stay tuned :)
