It has been one heck of a fiscal year. It began with a trip to Cebu. Followed by a trip to Hong Kong. Then Xiamen, then the States. I went to Russia, Denmark, Sweden and Amsterdam, too. Finally wrapped it up with a trip to Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand.
Where am I going next? Laos? Tibet? Nepal? Mongooolia?
I am now a firm believer in Lonely Planet and now grasp their philosophy.
On another front, I’d just like to write about the books that I’ve been reading. The Post-American World, an article called Multipolar world by Richard Haas and The Case for Goliath. They are all pointing to the same thing. A properous world being oversawed by America.
I hate all these naysayers predicting the fall of America. America will always be around for a long time. And if they keep on refreshing their people, they will be around here forever. But the point is, we are living in a time of peace and prosperity and thus we shouldn’t rock the boat.
Oh and the article talked about multipolarity. So maybe America will always be around but it will start to take on a different form. Maybe it will start merging with Canada and Mexico to become a super state. It a multipolar world, each region and organization may end up taking turns being on top, whether formally or informally.
