Quick note of appreciation to the good folks at the Pacific Asian Affairs Council, who brought me out to Honolulu, set me up at the University of Hawaii, and arranged for me to keynote their summit on microfinance.

I had a total blast and met a ton of cool people.  And seeing so many young people get excited about a sense of connection with the developing world, and the ability to touch lives halfway across the globe — that gave me a huge boost of enthusiasm for my own work.  So I definitely received at least as good as I gave.

Thanks to everyone at PAAC.  Hope to see a bunch of you in Vietnam next!
