Hello ,

Greetings from Ubud, Bali. Where I arrived a few days ago. Last week I was telling you about the week in our Spainish office. It is chatty in Spain and you can read about it here.

I flew from Malaga to Amsterdam and changed for Kuala Lumpur on a KLM night flight. In KL I spent a day with our IT wizard Raul, who has almost decided to live in the city. One of the new footloose citizens of the world able to work from any Starbucks worldwide.

Then onwards.. Early morning at gate P13 in KL international airport I meet up with Mr Chatterjee our man in India. He is beside himself with excitement. This is his first trip outside of India. I'm taking him to Bali to meet our agent Ringo. I'm not sure whats going to happen.. Ubud is a million miles away from Serampore.

Both men are nice humble hard working guys, both are Hindu, both agents for Ancient Wisdom. But the world's they inhabit are poles apart.

One bursting with art, and bars, and markets, teaming with healthy looking folks in Starbucks tapping away on laptops. The other has not a single bar, poor but intelligent people teaming the streets in traditional clothes, some washing naked to a loin cloth at communal hand pumps, old ladies selling fish from a napkin sized shop space. I'm pretty sure they have never even heard of Starbucks.

Ringo is waiting for at the airport.. And they are delighted to meet. Immediately friends and bursting with warmth.

I'll tell you what happens next week.

Meanwhile Valentines day is upon us. So I wish you lots of love and happy romantic trading.

Let's see if there is any fruitful (trading) love going to bloom between our two agents.

All the best..
David
