4. West Lake in Hangzhou is one of the most beautiful places on the planet

Just back from China (mainly Hangzhou, near Shanghai) after a 5 year gap. A few thoughts...

1. EVs are huge🚗40% of chinese vehicles are electric. EVs have a faded green licence plates (vs the normal blue) so you can play spot the EV as you drive around and 40% doesn’t shock me

3. Payments are alien👽 Very few places take Visa/Mastercard. Mobile payments via Alipay/Wechat Pay dominate

We got by using cash but I wouldn’t be surprised if this is not possible in 5 years. I didn’t see any evidence of the digital yuan this time but expect that to change too

@WilsonCompanies @BrentBeshore Yes, foam roller another good option and also works core

@andrewglynch WhatsApp plus regular catch ups would be good I think

Update on the cannibalisation of SEO https://t.co/ab3o0efNsX

Have noticed lately @Google seems to be removing organic results from branded searches.

First search on the left returned only the brand ad. Repeat search on the right returned the organic result also.

Key: 'Good' retention dependent on CAC and user monetization

Bonus: Cross-side dynamics influence what's 'good' in marketplaces
