Hainan-Sanya-Haikou Expat

Having seen the Hainan property story on the front page of Dow Jones' MarketWatch website a couple of weeks back, we realize Hainan is now mainstream news and I was pleased to receive another media invitation, this time for an interview with Bloomberg Television, which will air worldwide later this week. I'll be sure to place the link to the story on the site here as soon as I receive it from Zeb Eckert, the lead reporter who flew into Hainan for the story and did a great job catching the key points.

Its a fancy event tonight at the Shanghai Grand Hyatt Jin Mao Tower where I will have the pleasure of hosting the Annual Digital Media Awards Banquet which takes place in conjunction with the Ad Tech Conference at the convention center at Lu Jia Zui.

I've delayed my return twice this past week for the above reason along with the launch of my Catalysts To Change program on Friday which was a great success. Happy reasons wrap up an exhausting 3 weeks in Shanghai and I look forward to finally returning tomorrow night with plenty of catching up to do; so you can look forward to plenty of updates coming soon.

Cheers, M
