Tropical Episode 2

International Finance

International Finance We had all timeoff and air was hot, a nice morningbrise close to the sea beaches.

I had my daily Milo the morning in front of my room on the small balcony, and went along the street later on to the nice fruit and icecreamstall aside the bywatch tower made of concrete, the waves not far. It was all there the sea close, the view on close small islands overwhelming and the daughter and mother usually present to prepaire the icecreams or the vanilla shake, often checking last data on mobiles in between working and sparetime.

It was a spacy place close to the sea and could have taken about 10 foreigners, fishermen or tourists, some meters over sealevel, inland side facing the street which was not busy at this time of the year. Simple woodseats and woodtables. She had sharp dark sunglasses, and a scarf, well prepared and her mother sympathic. They knew many tourist and most storis over the years.

I had my vanilla shake and was happy viewing the sea with the djungles in back climbing up the hills. Here and then a hornbill passing.

There were barly any foreigners, tourists, and if more then it was chinse than from western regions. Some of them seemed to wait for a drink or another of million messages on a smartphone. The mother and daughter also had them, the father had his petrol serving stall some meters further, a dark man with dark hair, looking quite wild as many of them but not dangerouse.

I was happy talking with the daughter and mother.

Some short time later there came a young couple, both very dark skinned dark hair and eyes, lovely looking. I knew immediatly they could be from India on honeymoon or alike. We started talking and had interesting insights, they told me they were students from Bangladesh living for some years allready in Malaysia.

I knew students from Connaught place in Delhi, from the shores and locations of Goa, from Mumbai and Kerala. It was great. I had since weeks then always again flashbacks from the old magic times from Goan shores and coasts, from the cliffs and mornings, sunset moods in the eveningbrise at hilltops, flashbacks on Ninebar and its history starting with 50 bikes in the dust and smoke under plamtrees.

From a hundred sunsets at Anjuna hill to parties at hilltop. So after my Milo the first morning walks in the tropical heat were great.

We started speaking of out hopes and dreams, of our experiences and what would be needed to get to the USA, about the Bangladeshi lowlands, the two big rivers joiningthe sea there and the Tigers from Thunderbans. She took my special attention as she spoke perfect british englishas usual for stundents from teh Subcontinent. It is nice to get these phrases which get hardly spoken any more in the angloterran restempire.

But they keep that languaga living by their schoolsystems. They told me thet bengali was quite similar to hindi. So it was our first meeting, the offices far away on mainland. They wanted to move to teh US an dlive their but that would get costly I thought.

100 00 dollar for each of them. I started joking on the new barrier, no easy way now to teh US, you d need to pay the 200 000 before. Better to get to Europe, the Bologna regiokns, but frankly I told them that I had no glimpse on the laws and regulations of each single country in that marcet in pretext to the foreign students and in specific on none eu students.

That was all no problem there at our first meeting, these bucks can get spent by somebody else. I got the taste that they were not the students with superrich families in back, but they understood the situation well.

Asking them on the their faculties he replied banking, managment and she told it was international finance. That was ok for me as I got to see that many polished and quite fency cars before even from Malaysias big cities to small islands,I knew they had the bucks to buy that also as was never a big cardriver.

The young couple looked so lovely during our first meeting, she had a very wellmade stilish makeup, a bid like some Bollywood actress would look, he was more reserved during that meeting. Banking, crypto and finance was not our big topic over that time in the hot air, close to the beautifull beach with the small islands in back here and then a taxi passing, some small fishermans boat out there.

We were captured by our dreams, hopes and procedures which would be needed thatfor. After some one hour our meeting was over. No complaints at all on drinks and icecream, no huzzle, no bargains. They left on foot and I hopped on my scooter.

It was only some few hundred meters to the next meeting location, onway to the socalled golden sand beach in the north. We took another meeting and timeout for lunch. During that second meeting it got quite clear that we were on right track. The products would be there and gateways.

If it would be the US or Europe was up to us. Bologna Holland or Germany it was all there somewhere arount half the world. Finance was no problem. It was more about the simple tricky things as storing contact data, exchaning trade units, gambit cryptos, stocks, new funds, pricate equity, investment procedures before the transit, shifting bucks and getting teh lorries on the ground.

We were amused of our set. They had two big plates good local rice served with some sauce and tofulike looking meat. I had a fruit salad as grasping for vitamins which got burnt like hell during that hot liquidity arrangements. I could see that they were used to eat with hands from their early years and then first moments getting plates with spoons and forks was different.

I had that from my start but got into eating with hands during my seven years in India. That was another interesting aspect duijrg that kind of meetings at open deck, open seas and skies, no barriers but by some far away presidents mindset.

We knew we could take marcets and finance form that side, some nice meetings here and then near beaches and coastlines, the universities on mainland, the food necessary to quit not all weightwatcher scales and relevanth birthday data.

She told me of the defenitly tasks from Bangladesh to Norway and I agreed. I told her of the defnitive mountains, cosy lakes and rivers, some specific cicumstances and she was OK with that. They would need to get off by the right airport in SO Asia to Europe and not start from Bologna uni campi.

As I met a women, from banking in Kolombia, on Tioman before I was not new to me in that segment. She had a burnout but got over that duirng her nice time in Tioman. I knew there were some rare cases of bad bankers who killed themself on losses, that some could escape after years of acting to Moskwa, others burnt like hell total banks in the US as enron which was of an even bigger destaster for another hemisphere which triggered then sweat banking in Europe, sweat tests, negative interest rates over years and alike.

We did not get into the specifics as she was too much of a beauty by herself, aside all that mega destasters once and far away.

Our second meeting was great, set under big trees spending shade near the sea, nice hot brise and the sound of the waves.

The servants bringing us food, some of them I thought I knew from before. With teh boss I had talks on his proper set fishtank with big goldfish, welse form the Amazon but kept bred since years in Singapur which he had in his tropical tank with selfmade dolphin fountain and teh selfmade big filter, all in hight of eating tables aside set under the trees but with a leave protection net over the tank.

The amount of water was quite the same as in my newmade tank in the garden, so I could figure out right size of filter, amount of fish possible to be kept with other factors as light, shade, temperature and alike. He knew what he was doing and I had similar ways to build it just the very different climate was the case with impact on some procedures as warmwater fish would not survive falling temperatures during autumn (falls) in the mountains were each single location in the garden would produce different water temperatures and chemistry.

Even the folies color and water levels, currents, would be a factor. Climate change got not discussed at that stage but I knew it was there as some shorelines of Malaysias coast got washed away during last years. That was even the case with blue lagoon (fakegiven name) south of Port Dickson.

The young couple left a good impression to me, we exchanged adress but in case studies should moveon in Europe check impressum (of this gambit of a website) for contact before arrival, I could take you either into the mountains, on bike, on train, on bus. Climate conditions are different as tunnels through mountains. Students should not get stranded hopeless near the Cote da Sur.
