day 1 of socialist paradise went well here at isle sur la sorgue in provence france the traveling party is comprised of erita, jack, nanny, my wife, my mom, and family friends the son of which is friend's with erita from regular and summer schools we shall be joined by more family and friends by and by we arrived, got picked up at the airport just as we would be whenever in koh samui thailand, checked out the small town and made some administrative decisions regarding meals, logistics and such. the first meal cooked by the italian housekeeper was impressive, from the salad to the dessert, that we opted to have her do all except perhaps 4 meals during the 3-weeks stay. to do otherwise with 4 kids in toll would be too challenging given our frame of mind. socialism is great as long as fiat money is still flowing in france. after exploring the pool and a small sliver of the 4 hectares of ground before the first day was out, friends' kids, 7 and 4, asked whether we could all move here permanently. i answered no, because the country shall soon enough undergo revolution. they and erita ran off before i could explain revolution. i did not bother explaining same to jack, near 11 months young, for he seemed only interested in his milk bottle and could not run yet.

ruminating in socialist france socialism is great when one can afford it or still have things to socialize china mainland, china taiwan, china hong kong, china macao, china singapore, chinese overseas, and overseas chinese are all doing fine working with whatever they have wherever they are call it asian values, which is mostly confucius teachings even when not explicitly so as the teachings are so entwined into everything everywhere everyone does one actually finds the same values in a lot of places, particularly in parts of old europe, and all those places shall do fine, even if the nations within which they are might hiccup or choke family values society over individual words of honor altruism savings learning teaching knowing bad from good knowing truth from facts etc etc where the above qualities break down and is not generally practiced at the grassroots, the break shall follow in time occasionally folks go mad, as they did in many parts of the world, but where the values are strong, the civilizations pull through, and where not, popping happen
