Boot Camp - Day One

Nearly missed breakfast. Last night, after Maggie Thai went to another pub with great live music...There was jamming session after 11pm and witnessed the guest appearance of an Elvis look-alike:-)

The Boot Camp started on dot. At the beautiful Art House venue next to the Parliament. (There was no Indian standard leeway of 30minutes...)
Today was a broad overview of the digital market in Asia.David and John
1. By end of day, we had an over-view of the digital landscape of Asia from an Asian lens. Usually, the view is distorted with US-centricity and/or a Chindia comparison chart...

2. It was fascinating comparing the digital markets - from the virginal Cambodia to advanced Tokyo and in-between India...

3. There was a guest session by a senior Viacom Exec. Good presentation on Secondlife.com...These MTV guys always sex up their presentation. Much to learn from them...

4. Had a good chicken-tarian lunch with samosas thrown in especially for me and Ajit:-)

5. Hadn't had such an over-dose of statistics in one day in a long time...But it's good to browse/ scrimp through data...Good Q&A...

6. Some very interesting examples of mobile and Internet marketing from Korea and Japan...Must chat with Hironobu tomorrow...He sure has a digital lead over most of us...Hironobo Kawai explaining his 'Ask Dylan' case study...

Had a quiet uneventful evening. zzzzzz
