Am on Koh Samui. Arrived last night. Looking like we brought good weather. Shall stay for the week.
Doing my morning routine at new location, lining up the VLOGs before digging into whatever I need to do for the day, so thank you for the heads-up. Ice coffee good.
The hostess is also a fabulous Thai restaurant owner, and so the fare through our stay should be as always, very good. The host, a hedge-fund manager, is always interesting (the words are First Majestic, symbol AG). I did not listen to him in November 2019 w/r to Bitcoin; stupid me. Eventually I got in-in, but not in size of his conviction; stupid me. I did follow him out of Bitcoins; very smart me.
There a a few kids here and shall keep amusing the adults. Russian (-Irish) boy 13, girl 14; Thai girl 13 and 11 months; and the Jack (13) and the Coconut (19). The kids have known each other all their lives.
The set of Russian-Irish kids are totally conversant on geopolitical matters, as are my two kids. All quite based especially for their respective ages. The Thai girl is super based w/r to all matters street smart and sporting super EQ. Should be much fun.
The Coconut is applying to internships and shall otherwise be reading and writing (some sort of secret project for her long-term internship principal, and all I know is "dada, I am under NDA"), and Netflix-ing.
The boyz shall be playing chess, swimming, watching movies, PlayStation-ing, and generally messing around, but keen to go to the go-kart arena, and the gunnery range.
The girlz shall be playing tennis, bothering the Coconut with art issues, and making fun of the boyz.
The munchkin 11-months young baby shall be the amusement for all the adults - absolutely adorable, just a perfect dumpling that can be returned to the parents once starts crying :0)
W/r to <<Happy 2024....interesting times ahead>> ... am almost sure we shall not be disappointed.
To mark 2023 I managed to place order and expect to receive upon return to HK the Huawei Watch Ultimate and the Huawei Mate 60 Pro.
I am fascinated w/ the features including satellite communications, indestructibility, 5G, and and and military-civilian fusion goodies, but have no intention of opening the boxes (promise to self difficult to manage) as wanting to simply 'keep them on the shelf' to mark 2023, the turning point.
I have to decide what to do about Harmony OS / App upgrades along the way that requires powering-up :0/ Might have to get another Mate 60 and Ultimate, one set to collectible and one set to use. Pondering.
The satellite call feature is only good w/ii China proper where China Telecom offers the subscription for ~US$13 for 80 min per month, and ~$27 for 200 min per min. I expect some Belt & Road domains and BRICS+ domains shall make arrangements w/ China Telecom to make available franchised satellite services in due course. It is possible that Team China shall refrain from such action. We shall see.
I do expect quantum key encryption to be included as service package option quantumzeitgeist.com
