Rick has spent a fair percentage of the last week charting our 23-day world tour. This sort of thing is a lot easier when you are just looking at a map. It gets tougher when you are having to adapt to logistics and airline schedules. He has done an incredible job, showing great patience both with airplane reservations folk and his pushy traveling companion.
In the end end he has devised a brilliant grueling schedule. If we survive it, we will be much wiser about what people and technology are doing to each other on a pretty global basis. We will hit 18 cities in 23 days. Here are the cities:
- Tokyo
- Beijing
- Shanghai
- Shenzen
- Hong Kong
- Seoul
- Bangkok/Phuket
- Ho Chi Minh
- Taipei
- Bombay/Bangalore
- Berlin
- Johannesburg/Cape Town
- Amsterdam
- Oslo
- London
- Paris
- Florence
- Munich
The precise dates for each city will be decided in 2-3 days, but we start on Aug. 12 in Tokyo and will follow this sequence. If you are at or near any f these cities please let us know by posting a comment here or emailing me at [email protected].
Again, we are NOT looking for company presentations. We are looking to meet smart people with ideas and dreams and aspirations. We want to have as many interesting conversations as we possibly can cram into this marathon junket. We want to start conversations that will continue beyond this field trip survey.
BTW, I am no longer filing under the Web 2.0 blog category, nor am I tagging with it. You will find this post and all future posts under Global Neighborhoods.
