deep state and killware 106 - Beware the Ides of March ๐น๐ญ Already four weeks since my operation and I am getting out and about again. This week I had a couple of Bitcoin meetups as well as a couple of social ones; there is no shortage of things to do and people to meet here in Bangkok - and the weather
the great taking 105 - The Great Taking ๐น๐ญ It is already March. The weather here in Bangkok has been pleasantly cooler and cloudier here in recent days. To be honest - it is about perfect.

foundation 104 - Four years on... ๐น๐ญ This past week I have been taking things easy, recovering from the operation. During the week I had the stitches out and everything checks out OK.

democide 103 - Revelations ๐น๐ญ Over the weekend we celebrated Chinese New Year here in Bangkok. There were plenty of tourists around and everybody seemed to be making some effort to be wearing red. As expected, straight after CNY everything switched into Valentine's Day mode. Overnight all the malls did a quick switch
common law 102 - Year of the Dragon ๐น๐ญ Welcome to the Year of the Wood Dragon - ๆญๅ็ผ่ฒก - Kung Hei Fat Choi. Yet another sunny and warm week here in Bangkok.

argentina 101 - Biking in Bangkok ๐น๐ญ This week we took maximum advantage of the very slightly cooler weather. I have been out and about on several cycle trips this week.

javier milei 100 - A century already ๐น๐ญ So already 100 newsletters! When I started writing the newsletters back in December 2021 I had a premonition that things were about to change significantly in the world in general. I wanted to document what I saw going on around me and also to share what wisdom I have and
matrix unveiled 99 - Independence declaration ๐น๐ญ This week we have been getting out and about around Bangkok. There are tons of meetups and you can easily do something new and interesting every day. Below are a few of the things that we got up to this week. * Benjakitti park walkabout - this is a fabulous park
monopoly capitalists 98 - Ancient City ๐น๐ญ We are now full-circle here, back in Bangkok. This is the week that we arrived here last year, having abandoned the nonsense in Hong Kong. With hindsight, that seems to have been a smart move: check Newsletter 96 for our review of 2023. Breaking pattern, V and I decided on
buddhism 97 - Looking forward - 2024 ๐น๐ญ There were plenty of fireworks here to bring in the new year. V and I enjoyed the view from our terrace - we did not feel the need to go down to one of the main venues - an advantage of living on a high floor in the center. The
Nostr 96 - Review the year - 2023 ๐น๐ญ We are in the period between Christmas and New Year here in Bangkok and I took advantage of the quieter time to do some reflections on the year that has just passed. This helps as we finalise our plans for 2024. Back at the beginning of January we were doing
saturnalia 95 - Holiday reading ๐น๐ญ This week V and I have continued to enjoy Bangkok winter sunshine.

We both have our daily
cover-up 94 - Gradually, then suddenly ๐น๐ญ V and I have been relaxing around town this week. The weather is still pretty warm, being 35-37 degrees in the afternoon and it does not go below 25 at night but this is certainly preferred to rain and snow of N Europe in the winter. We have been enjoying
developing 93 - Awakening and Marathon ๐น๐ญ V and I have quickly settled back into Bangkok life - we really love our Bangkok apartment; how nice it would be to have something like this in Hong Kong! In addition to the regular Bitcoin meetups we have also been getting out and about together to enjoy the city.

genocide 91 - Moving on again ๐ญ๐ฐ This was our last week here in Hong Kong for a bit. I think we have achieved all the goals (personal and business) that we set for this trip: mission accomplished, despite all the bureaucratic and administrative obstacles piled in our way. We also got to meet up with travelling
bankers wars 90 - Business in Hong Kong ๐ญ๐ฐ I had a few business transactions to complete here in HK this week along with all of the associated administration. As before, subcontracting the admin seemed to be the best strategy if you value your time and sanity. You have got to appreciate the local entrepreneurs who provide these services
anatomy of the sate 89 - Hiking in Hong Kong ๐ญ๐ฐ This week we have been doing the maximum to get out and about and enjoy Hong Kong at its best. Saturday I was out with Eye Opener Hiking Group on a great hike from Mei Foo, Sunday I went with a few friends from DB to Mui Wo. On Monday
European Superstate 88 - November in Hong Kong ๐ญ๐ฐ Already November! Last weekend V and I travelled Bangkok to Hong Kong.

BOB space residency 85 - Friday 13th and Eclipse ๐น๐ญ This week we have been busy settling back into life in Bangkok. It all seems pretty familiar. We are in a slightly different location but still in central Bangkok and we have ready access to all the facilities you would want - nice! It is certainly rainy season here in
groundhog day 84 - Back in Bangkok ๐น๐ญ Over last weekend V and I travelled back to Bangkok. ย Travel was not bad but it certainly was less smooth than last year. ย Travel down to Dublin was a relative highlight - we took the new DublinExpress service to get to the airport; it is good - superior to Aircoach
blackrock 83 - Holywood - in transit ๐ฎ๐ช ๐ฌ๐ง This week V and I are in transit again. ย After a great sojourn in Sardinia we are taking a few days here in Northern Ireland with family and friends before moving on again, back to the East. ย Next stop, Bangkok - say hello if you are near! It was quite
