I have a blog ???
I really should update the blog more often, but life in UK has been hectic with 7am > 11pm days over the last few weeks.
Anyway, back to China on the 1st of March for about 6 weeks, so am sure lots of trials and tribulations coming up as always.
So see you in a few days, and if you need anything bringing back, feel free to email me and I will do my best to oblige.

Jack Ma to keynote SES China
We're excited to announce that Jack Ma, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Alibaba/Yahoo, will be one of our two keynote speakers at SES China. In 1995, Ma founded China Pages, widely regarded to be China's first internet-based company, and has been actively involved in driving the growth of the Chinese internet.
Just read this on the Search Engine Watch site, now Jack ma is 1 guy who I have been longing to meet for a long time, so maybe I better get to Nanjing and get Chris and co to get me introduced.
In fact I once started writing a long letter to jack ma offering to come work for him for free, but being as smart as he is he probably would have thought " a madman on the loose"
Who else is headed to Nanjing for this ? and dont forget there is still time to join the China Search Marketing Tour

Men on the Ground
As the title of this blog says ... "Life as a man on the ground"
So I been thinking of maybe opening the blog up so it kinda becomes "mEn on the ground, or even mEn and woMen on the ground"
Basically I'd let some of my crazy friends share their experiences with the masses, and trust me when I say they are a lot more adventurous than me.
Here's a few hints:
Mr G - an Italiano in Shanghai who seems to always have a crisis land on his lap on the 23rd hour whenever a big deal is taking place, He's a real funny guy.
Mr Luke - This guy parties 8 nights out of 7 and still manages to make it to his daily chinese lesson before me, and then goes home to do his homework, at any given moment between the hours of 8pm > 4am I kinda know exactly which club he is in, great guy with some crazy friends and amazing stories to tell, such as they time the "borrowed" a Taxi in Shanghai ;)
so what ya guys reckon, worth heading down this road by opening it up for a bit more content and information to flow out of China ???
ur comments appreciated

That Girl from Kobe
Now I'll admit to being ignorant at times and I never really knew that the "Kobe" in Kobe Beef was actually name of a place in Japan, that was until I met some girls in Shanghai from Kobe, who my flatmate and I had been given the task of showing the city in style 1 evening a few months ago.
Cut a long story short, 1 of the girls and I keep in contact by email and MSN and she always writes real long and deep emails in english about life in Japan as girl, and I always encourage her to set up a blog.
Well she finally has got her ass in action and launched it, do take a look, some good reading there.
