Typing this out on my flight from Manila to Hong Kong….airplanes always get me to be a bit “reflectional” (emotional in a way)…maybe its that humming sound as the plane zips through the air, transitioning from one destination to another.

Extended my Manila, Philippines trip a couple more days to wait for Leon to get back from Australia, and to have a teambuilding meeting with the e-commerce support team we have been building up here in Manila for a couple years.

About 100 people there mostly dealing with domestic filipino internet and ecommerce businesses. Again, like the manila coworking space I saw last night, I wish I knew about these networking groups and entrepreneuer spaces back in 2010 when I was investigating doing business in the Philippines. I love networking, and learning alongside other creative, hard working people. I believe that …

I’m really excited this year will be the 4th time I have gone to the largest SEO conference in China, in the city of Xiamen, China called the GOMX Global Online marketing expo. In 2009 I first went, and met Gillian Muessig, founder of SEOmoz and featured on Sina tech news for my talk on keyword research. In 2010 had …
I am so freaking excited! Last week almost destroyed me…physically, emotionally….and on some nights financially…but I made some new connections, lost maybe one or two (can’t keep everyone happy) and have made some solid moves to ensure this year is a rock solid one! I normally would writeup a separate post for each of these…but so exhausted last week I …
I have blogged about Americans wanting to move to China in a few different ways, and I have answered why I moved to China …..but again and again my email box becomes flooded with questions like the below from Ricardo: On Sat, Jan 7, 2012 at 9:36 AM, Ricardo wrote: Hey Michael!

I was typing on my mobile during the event, and …
What a way to start a week! Being an American living in China, I’m lucky I never was a big sports fan….with the timezone difference, evening games in the USA are bright and early in the morning here in China! I have been here for a few years, and never wake up for a sports game…even prior Superbowls. But this …
