Today I’m remembering, Today I’m planning to get back for an extended period of time. Manila -- The Philippines is developing, and so am I. We’ll meet again soon. The goal is to do Six Months and Six Months. Six Months split between the Providence -- New Bedford -- Fall River MSA, the Boston -- Quincy -- Cambridge MSA, and the Orlando -- Daytona Beach -- Kissimmee MSA. For those of you who don’t know what MSA is -- it’s Metropolitan Statisical Area. It’s usually the area the radio stations reach and they itemize for Nielsen Ratings and such.

Great song for this, by the Standells, I love that Dirty Water.

Oh, Boston you’re my home.

In my near two years in manila I never met as many tech -oriented Entrepreneurs as I have met back at my home area. Providence, Boston, Nashua, Fall River, Brockton, Cambridge. Manila -- you are awesome. I love you. For many different reasons. I feel Manila will someday be the techno-hub of Asia. For now it’s still Tokyo.
