Hello Atushi,

Thanks for the comment.

We have family in Asia, Canada and Europe so we will spend some time with them every year (Just like we have been). Everything in between is not planned. We hope to spend at least a month or two in major locations so that we can get some work done and get a better feel for the country.

Sounds like the end of one great adventure (what else can you call travelling to a new country, starting your own business, and meeting your wife!) and the start of another great adventure.

When you travel throughout Asia, Canada and Europe, is this a linear travel, from one point to the next, or is it a succession of hubs (with each hub like a two to six month base) from which you plan to make shorter trips?

Best of luck

Thanks for the comment Elizabeth.

We are still not sure on BKK in February though. We are still trying to decide. It seems a popular place to be in 2010 though!

Congratulations on the move John! [Belated, I'm writing my book & not reading online much]. You both have done this in a much more sensible way than the Man and me….we left our home countries 6/7 years ago and haven’t stopped moving!

Hope to see you in Bkk. I’ll have a studio there from late Feb till sometime in June.

Congratulations!

I agree with you about Bangkok. Lovely people, but it can be very polluted. Those tuk-tuks with the lawn mower engines can’t be good for the environment.

I like that phrase “lifestyle inflation”. So true. Buy a house and the natural order of things says you need to fill it. You can’t have empty rooms, walls and shelves. Doesn’t feel right.

Thanks Cath!

I appreciate the comment. I hope we get a chance to meet up somewhere soon. I would love to make it to South Africa but that probably won’t happen until 2011.

Greetings Cody! Thanks for the message. Thailand is definitely in the cards sometime soon. I have a sick family member that I would like to see so that is the only thing delaying my visit. I will keep you posted.
