Resting in Maldives

I am resting in Maldives as we speak, trying to work on a few things for work.  The resort island is beautiful but also quite expensive.  Getting here on speedboat from the capital Male cost almost 200 US alone.  Add to that the meal plan etc.  I do need a break though.  For almost half a year, I have been shuttling between Hong Kong and Shanghai and lying next to the beach of a neutral place is a good break.  Come Monday I am off to Shanghai again.  The morning I get into Hong Kong and in the evening I am off.  

I think it will be a good change.  Somehow my experience in Hong Kong has been deteriorating.  After all these years, it is a pity that it is still not home.  I don't know what I can find elsewhere but we shall see.  The one thing I need to find to do is running a profitable business so I do not need to rely on work for all my attention span and all my possibilities in life.  "Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains,"  that's the age old philosophy that still rings true.  I want to be free from my chains and really live a spectacular life, a creative one, and a truthful one.  I hope I can.
