Manila, 2008.11.05
Today I met my childhood friend in Manila while he was on a business trip. We caught up, chatting in the unlikely setting of a meat (meet?) market in a sprawling outdoor shopping complex. He'd just gotten off of a marathon meeting, and our talk was peppered with the tales of his business success. His company now employs 340 people and is the market leader in his field.
It was the first time in six years that we'd had the chance to meet, and catching up went all night.
