met with my part time accountant again today – in China you have to file taxes every month for a business, not yearly like in USA…..so you almost need a full time in-house accountant / bookkeeper for this. I found Ping, on the far right, and Wendy, middle to help me with this. They are sisters and Ping is the …

Toughest Sacrifice – Family Times
Been spending time with my family in florida almost a week now – preparing to fly to San Diego tomorrow morning….and it really makes me wonder, and hope, that I am doing the right thing by moving so far from friends and family……I’m still young, I have to explore new lands, make my best effort to build a company, learn …
Back to Florida – another horoscope
My grandma always clips the horoscope from the newspaper on my birthday – and even a few months late, I always get it. haha – looking at this years and comparing to last’s – seems now the idea is to “pick something” and not to spend all my money. Again, like last year, it says don’t get pressured into it. …
Action Packed New york city / jersey city / hoboken
Above – spent a Sunday afternoon with my friend Laird and Carl – they’re happily married and expecting their first child…..amazing! spending past few days visiting coworkers, friends, and business associates.

Back to USA – we need to consume less!
Back in the USA for a week now – great meeting friends, customers, suppliers…. All I can do is read the news and look around.

Today – back from the airport in Ningbo (delayed flight…from 7pm to 2am takeoff…back at 5am!!! is that allowed in USA??) Government came to my home office Friday, when I was in Ningbo and basically said to my staff that was there – “you can’t live in your office…office and house has to separate”….so what do I do….move to the …

Opening companies in the face of world recession.
Bit scary as I sign contracts, open bank accounts, and wire money all over the world.. It is working – and I believe a company wrestling through the tough times makes it that much stronger. Just scary with payrolls building up….as its adding other people’s livelihood in the picture. Just keep on pushing forward – was going to start brainstorming …
Aftermath of the Earthquake
Where I am from the earthquake – about a 2 hour flight. Sharing some photos that have been going around in China IMs…..its really sad…collections everywhere…watching crowds on the streets surround TVs showing scenes from the aftermath of the earthquake… never take 1 day on this earth for granted….
Earthquake in Cheng Du, China
Thanks for all the emails and notes….I was a few hours southeast so didn’t even “Feel it” amazing how these natural disasters have been popping up….. was in Hong Kong when it happened – taking care of corporate structure, banking, and accounting…. write more later…..buried in emails and to-do lists
China Warehouse – 98 products
Even with the rather discouraging week I had with the negative feelings – still pushing forward on the china ecommerce front….searching for warehouse space – looking for locality, scalability…and security……that one is a bit scary and questionable…….. 98products.com was a big project most of the day today, Saturday – every day a work day not really sure what the work …
Been Seriously Racially Profiled This Week!!!!
This week was such a hardcore week of racial profiling…..and the more I “pryed” into the topic…the worse it got! I’m looking at leasing a warehouse…and I put down a deposit…but I’m going to change the warehouse because the area is not locked down enough….I need 24/7 guard because when a white person has a storage area its a target …
