Spain and Portugal

finish my family trip to Portugal and Spain and return home on last Friday, this is by far the best relax journey I had and I really enjoy life in Portugal, L love the people, weather other, culture and the feeling, yes, as I had a gut feeling that the living standard in Portugal should be similar to Taiwan, this is what I'am found of, when the airplane touch down the land, after 24 hours of flying and transit, I immediately fall in love with the landscape of Portugal. the stops at Cascais, Belem, Lisbon, Oceanerio and every people I met in Portugal, stranger or business encounter, I love them, the only thing I said to Celine is : this should be my second home. The value and social culture in Portugal have me think hard, the Stanford Graduate Miguel launch his social enterprise Teleman, win the best ranking proposal among all the competition in EU, HOW They believe in digital life and conduct a paperless office in action, I feel shame about working in multi-national company fo so long and preach how efficient we work at office, this is far from what Teleman is doing in Portola, Hotel Cascais Mirage is a great resort to stay, this is only 30 minutes from downtown Lisbon, should be idea palce to stay whenever visiting Portugal.

Barcelona is so big, too big to be appreciated the trivial touch, too big to have the excitement of " I found it " the joy of discovery is hard to see in this Metropolitan, however, if you stay longer, such as for a week, you may reveal with different feeling.

Bringing my family with me to a non-English speaking countries is a great experience, to Sound, this might be th first overseas trip he can be memorized - this is only my imagination, anf for my wife, this is the trip by far she walked in city in daylight the most, she enjoy seeing the PENA CASTLE , the Lisbon Aquiline, THE gaudi buildings and the great scene along the Cascais beach. I am eay fit in the western food, Sound seems to be OK, wife have difficulty to enjoy food in Europe, however, asa vegetarian, if Fruit and VEGE found in market, her problem will be solved.

If you devided Spain by 4, will come to Portual, in population, in Land, this is fine, if it pointto the economic situation, the interpretation is not so friendly, Spain and Portugal have problem always, roots from 800 year ago, but develop to different language and culture. I love Portugal more than Spain. how can I sustain my attachment to the land? conducing any business to make it happen?

Fonv visit is a good one, althought AJ call me when I was line up for the famous Picasso Museum, the word he said , don't be too naive really hurt my feeling, but to conduct what a multi-national company and to grow any start up is what I am good at, to calm myself down and sit / listen to them, the believer in Fon impress me and I think this is the second career out of Lichu, and a way to balance my life.

The lunch with H. Han was so in depth, he advise me : my talent is greater than raise fund or getting sponserhsip, I should make my best effort in developing my career and to integrated them to CSR in good way, to have myself sustain is the way to make Lichun sustain, then the philantrophy will come one day;he have no objection aobut my double career idea and encourge me to find my way to grow , for the sake of my family, my lkid and to consider the rest of my life; I really appreciate his kindness and caring about me.

With all the good advise and warming, I should re-assemble my emotion toward doing good, not to let my emotion lead too much, and run into hard rocks, Teleman is not sustainable and I should not be blinded by the Miguel attraction, to help Dr. CHew is only thing, to make Lichn stand and sustain it much more critical at this moment of time. how to better slove my gesture ? I should be a good judge to my won decision.

With my 3G data card, I am now blogging on the way to Shingchu, this is another gret experience. our won BMW320 will arrvied this late evening, can't wait to see it
