In Penang...Again...

Not really digging this place all that much but due to a much needed visa run I am here. oh well. Hanging at the bucks in Gurney Plaza drinking an iced one while using the FREE wifi from the coffee shop next door. I bet that sucks...for them. Oh well. Reading business week today while I was getting my haircut. You can ponder as to why I had so much time to read but all I can say is things are looking green these days. Mango green... Anyway it was this big Chindia issue. Insightful but does not say much that most people should already now. The US is in trouble and Chindia is learning to capitalize on it. I was just floored by one of their articles discussing oppurtunities some US people might have due to the demands in Chindia. One example was some US dude living in HK, yeah my mom and dad are moving there for work too,  who speaks fluent Mandarin and sits on Chinese boards to provide Chinese companies the "american" view. Like - yes Wen, we always supersize our value meals. Killed me. I lived in HK and you don't pick up Mandarin - you have to learn it. Given that it is not even the HK native tongue - Cantonese is makes it even more tricky. Plus I just don't see this position as being hugely in demand. But maybe the US can start some night class at Sierra College - The Professional Chinese Board Sitter. I am sure it will take that chick who just got axed from the alternator company only about 3 years to pass it and by then it just might be too late. Interesting. GO BW - thanks for making it all painfully lucid. cya
