Chris Barclay

Age 58. Lives in Chiang Mai. He organized https://sive.rs/wt where we met last year in Thailand and talked many times since.

We met up at a private club in the old Bank of China building, central Hong Kong. Amazing artwork inside. Founder was a great socialite in the Hong Kong scene and died recently, too young. This club was the inspiration for Chris's club in Chiang Mai called the Algonquin.

Recent meditation experience in Netherlands. We are all both the frog and the scorpion in that fable. Embrace all sides of yourself instead of denying or hiding them.

He recommended the book "Fun with Chinese Characters" and we talked about Wenlin and other tools for learning Chinese writing.
