Leaving on a jet plane.

This is the point in our journey where our team parts ways. Yesterday morning two of us flew off to Hong Kong, and this afternoon the rest of us are leaving Beijing for our own parts of the world. Ironically, expect my blog posts to pick up once I'm back in the States, where I won't have to rely on hotel business centers and Internet cafes for web access!

Before I go, I do want to send a shout out to my new friend Brendan O'Kane, a fellow blogger from Philly who we interviewed earlier this week and then came out last night for drinks to help send us off. There are so many of you guys that I'd love to hang out with if y'all were in Boston, and would fit right in to my social circles back home. Brendan, Evan, Victor, Gabriel -- if any of you ever make it to Boston, I have a couch for you (and an open invite to come speak to CMS – and if you can, try and come out to Texas for SXSW next year. The first Shiner Bock's on me.

Right! Wheels up from Beijing in a couple of hours and there's still way too much packing to do. For my friends back in Boston, I'll see you tomorrow, and for my friends here in China – thanks for a wonderful, wonderful time and I'll see you online!
