Back in California

After over 7 weeks of travel in Europe and Asia I am finally back home in California. It was a great trip with lots of good business progress, and also fun, experience, good food, nice people, and the like.

I am thinking more and more about how one can live in a flat world, i.e., in several places, continents, at the same time. I am now trying to be regularly in a couple of "Hub" cities, tiered into 3 classes:

• Tier A: "Home" (where I have a physical presence)
• San Francisco
• Munich
• Thinking of adding a city in Asia, probably Hong Kong or Singapore
  
• Tier B: Visit 3-4x a year, with friends, business, and basic infrastructure in place
• London
• Tokyo
• Bangkok
• Tier C: Be there with little setup costs
• New York
• Sydney
• Beijing or Shanghai

This way I can create a sense of global personal presence while reducing travel cost (direct and indirect) to an absolute minimum.
