See You In Shanghai
Our bags are packed and we’re off on month long trip to Asia that will take us to Shanghai, Su Zhou and Taipei. Normally, we don’t head to Asia until the end of May but I decided to get a head start this year. The rest of the Dot Com crew (Stephen Fung, Ed Lau and Michael Kwan) will be joining Sarah and me in Taipei for Computex. While in China, I’ll be checking out the Shanghai High-End Home Theater Show, the Real Estate Show, the world’s tallest hotel, some really nice restaurants and a bunch of other stuff.
While I have to worry about many things during this trip (like passports, luggages, etc.), one thing I won’t have to worry about is the blog and Internet business. This is truly the biggest advantage of the dot com lifestyle. I can be anywhere and the world and as long as I have access to the Net, I can make money. There’s no better way to prove that than be heading to the other side of the world for a month.
Just because I’m away doesn’t mean the posting on this blog will stop. If history is any indication, the posting frequency will increase because I want to share with you the sights and sounds of my travels. If any Shanghai readers want to meet up, give me a shout. I’ll be landing in 12 hours!
For faster updates on my travels, follow me on Twitter. Talk to you soon! It’s time to board the plane.

Reply to this commentI am in Beijing now and would have liked to come and see you, but I think it could be a difficult time right now to travel in China.

Reply to this comment7.8-Magnitude Earthquake happened yesterday,The earthquake center was only 30 kilometers to my parents’ home. I lost communication with many of my childhood friends, PRAYING for them!
Have a fun and enjoyable trip to Asia!
Reply to this commentI hope you’re having a blast! That’s true about the proof though. Anyone who doesn’t believe that you can make money online wherever you are can just read your upcoming posts about your trip.
Reply to this commentI think you should buy something in Shanghai and bring it back as a contest! *cough cough* Samurai Sword *cough cough*. I know myself, and many others, would post their hearts out to get one of those, even if it’s cheap, as long as it is authentic.
Reply to this commentI hope I`ll make it next year to Asia , never been there . have a nice trip and let us see some of your photos
Reply to this commentFunny how a Canadian is heading to China for a month when 99% of the Chinese would sell their souls to live here. I like vacations, but a month in China just doesn’t sound very fun at all to me.
Reply to this commentHope you had a safe trip.
Reply to this commentI’m guessing that the big earthquake in Chengdu is all over the news there. Where were you when the earthquake hit?
Yea. Work from anywhere…really ROCKS!!! Have a nice trip man.
Reply to this commentEnjoy your trip John. Hopefully you get a high speed internet there
and people don’t block your IP
Reply to this commentyes–only couple of folks mentioned about an earthquake.
What a disaster–it was Myanmar and now China–
Latest according to Yahoo is that
“Myanmar cyclone victims getting low-quality supplies ”
More than 12,000 have lost their lives in China.
My prayers is with those people suffering.
