I start recruiting and organizing as soon as I was told my position was going to be terminated. Well, the end of my employment and two recruits (Darin and Jeff) later, we’re heading over to Asia. Our first stop will be Hong Kong. We’ll head down to Macao. Hopefully, I don’t have to end my trip after Macao, the Las Vegas of Asia. We’ll train up to Shanghai and Beijing from Hong Kong. We’ll train down to Xi’an, Chengdu, Chongping, Guiyang, Kumming, and into Vietnam. We plan to get out of China in a month and half. One and a half months in Vietnam, two week in Cambodia, three weeks in Laos, three weeks in Myanmar, and one month in Thailand. I hope this journal will keep our friends and family up to date as to our whereabouts.
