Robbie in Asia Part#2

September 19, 2008

Just about to wrap things up here in XIAMEN, China and head to the airport to catch my flight to Tokyo, Japan.

I was very impressed with XIAMEN.  Very clean city on the East Coast of China just above Hong Kong and across from Taiwan.

XIAMEN was not what I expected.  It lies beautifully on the coast of China and has a tropical climate.  Palm trees, nice coast line, extremely clean and organized.  Unfortunately I didn’t have time for any sightseeing, may be next time.

My 3 days in XIAMEN were spent with business meetings with various different Chinese Domain Registrars.  After being in the domain business for many years now I am still amazed at how many different business models with respect to Domains exist.  One would think the domain business to be very straight forward, you accept registrations and then you renew them in the following year.  After being in China and visiting different registrars I am even more convinced that we have only scratched the surface of the Internet and what can be done with respect to Domains, Hosting and other internet related products.

Ok, gotta to start packing and then off to Tokyo, a city that has always been on my “Want to see” list.
