Customer Service: Is there no more receiving of daily reports as there had been prior to this week??

I know I'll mostlikely forget to check by using Google. I counted on you showing up but I have not received anything this week if not before. I didn't check my file for the last day I read and filed your essays.

As a "poor" retired traveller and reader of international reports and essays, I'll miss most of those you send if they are "archived" after a day or so.

Is it really that difficult to send the material out??? I realize you asked for donations and I didn't send you anything, but the only charity I give anything to once or twice annually, is Doctors without Borders. With less than $600 per month for expenses, I just can't. But I did like the essays.

If you would, please return me to your e-mail on a dasily/regular basis. Thank you.

With forests of skyscrapers rising in Shanghai, fantastical contents emerging off the coast of Dubai, and fibre-optic arteries pumping knowledge from the heart of India's IT boom, it is difficult not to be impressed by the pace of transformation across Asia. Tremendous change is afoot in much of the region, greased in places by growing oil revenues and elsewhere by decade-old programs of liberal reform that now seem to be bearing fruit. This goes beyond the putative "Asian giants" of India and China; with many smaller countries also sharing in the economic success, a whole continent seems to be on the rise.
