"However, it only takes a day or two here to realize that people enjoy a ton of freedom (I see protests all the time, and haven't seen anyone pepper sprayed or arrested yet)."

It won't be like this forever. I think the autonomous government deadline is 50 years. When this happens, it won't be as "free" as it is now.

This is also only if the Chinese government doesn't go back on their word.

If you truly want a free country, go to Taiwan. Taipei is just as vibrant as HK.

If it helps, I'm go-authoring a book with Derek Sivers on Taiwan. Leaving next week for Taiwan to write the book over the next month. It's an awesome place to do business because of their low cost of living but their taxes are similar to the US>

Coincidentally, the main reason I visited Singapore was to hang out with Derek. I'll be interested to see the result of your collaboration. P.S. I'm sure it's a typo, but I love the idea of "go-authoring" a book—it has a great ambitious ring to it.
