This Tuesday, Feb 7, 2012, We’ll start the Startup Tuesday again, now that Chinese News is over…and sadly, as SZteam location is currently closed, I will have to update the SZteam website to tell future visitors they can stop by the Chai Huo hackerspace,...
Traveling around like a madman, sometimes its hard to keep track of all your things in transit! I went to Hong Kong on Thursday for a daytrip (my buddy Chris told me about a special rate of 150rmb for a round trip day pass on the shekou ferry to central pier),...
I remember being that frustrated American in USA….emailing factories and Chinese businesses during the months of Jan / Feb and getting nothing, no reply, not even a vacation autoresponder (well Chinese don’t really use email anyway…) ….and...
Depending on if you’re a business owner, or a employee, being an expat in China during the end of the year and Jan/Feb is much different than the rest of the year. Basically, its SHUT DOWN! You have Western holidays Christmas and New Years in the end of December...
Bet that heading caught your attention. Yes, I just can’t get the travel bug out of me. And 2012 will be almost all China (although I did just book a trip to Philippines in mid feb). As part of my newest venture in opening up a Chinese ecommerce group...
Seriously feeling like a real estate agent lately…but I am in cross fires getting both people who want to utilize coworking space, and office owners who have space they want to utilize.
My buddies in Hong Kong, Felix Lam and Jon Buford, introduced me to...
Been trying to calm down my traveling, sticking to Shenzhen, China – but lately have had a few draws to get to Hong Kong. Today I planned a day trip, mostly for the below China Daily meeting and forum I was invited to on uniting Asian countries to China,...
Been on the hunt for a new coworking space in Shenzhen, China. Sadly, its official, the current SZteam coworking office I as well as others worked so hard to build and publicize is closing over the Chinese New Years, and this week I had to move my things out of...
Overall I like Google…but I can’t help to think they are getting to be more and more “evil” as an overall brand feeling.
Chinese Currently People Respect Google
it took a strong stand with the Chinese internet filtering at the beginning...
A few of my friends have been checking up with me on how my first social media marketing seminar went this past Saturday. I just got the photos and feedback from the marketing team this afternoon, so here we go:
We had 10 people come to the training seminar. ...
More cool stuff happening here in Shenzhen, it keeps reminding me and building my confidence that I am in the right part of the world with a growing future! Cyril Ebersweiler, from SOS Ventures and China Accelerator up in north China, who spoke our Shenzhen Startup...
Not even a couple months ago I was stressing about how to deal with the future of the current SZteam coworking space in High Tech park. Like I had said, the space moved faster than I was prepared and I tried my best to backtrack and make it work
This time, I am...
I could reflect on 2011, but instead of talking about the past, I’ll talk about the future. 2011 was my transition BACK to China fulltime… doing consulting between Hong Kong, Dongguan, and Shenzhen…. going to the coworking space in mid-year and...
I believe I am a connector, I enjoy doing it, and I seem to be getting better at it. Its just tough to build a platform to connect people between USA and China … still feel I need to gather research, pain points, needs from both sides.
But as I have said...
What is getting more and more funny…and crazy at the same time…is that I am getting busier and busier on my Sina Weibo, Tencent Weixin and QQ, talking about English social media and American vs Chinese culture and way of life.
