My journey this holiday season put me in Hong Kong for 4 days and Shanghai for another 2, which was enough time to recuperate from a time zone change that was more disruptive than I’d anticipated, but not long enough to allow me to feel like I’d seen enough of the country to say I’ve really “seen it.” Of course, I say this after experiencing things like the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, Victoria Peak, Wanchai, the Mid-levels Escalator, the Pudong Skyline and countless shops within Shanghai.

I’m on a two week trip that covers a considerable portion of the globe (given the span of time) and where the focus is recruiting technology and marketing. The first part of my trip kicked off here in Australia where I was asked to be the keynote at the Social Media 101 event.
