Internet censorship is alive and well in Vietnam. So here are a few belated pics from last week's Saigon sojourn. Caught up with my son on his big SE Asia OE. Staying at the Continental Hotel was a bucket list thing from way back btw.

The nation's largest polluter @Fonterra continues to erode its social licence. Keep in mind they got $90M in taxpayer funds to convert to bio-energy.

Long overdue IMO. While they are at it, perhaps subdivision developers could also kindly pay more infrastructure levies. Ratepayers are picking up the tab for growth right now... as (our mayor) Sam Broughton is well aware.

Situating the new Bioeconomy Science Institute HQ here in Lincoln makes good sense on so many levels. Existing brand new facilities, co-location with @LincolnUniNZ and plenty of room to grow. odt.co.nz/star-news/star…

Shocking that the Air India tragedy was unfolding about the same time we were overflying the region yesterday. Without getting into too much speculation, the video clearly shows a catastrophic failure of the port engine. Less clear if other engine also lost. ☹️🙏

Our last evening in Champagne province (and France) so naturally a glass of bubbles was in order. That's our little apartment block in the background overlooking Place du Forum which never stops well... bubbling.

When this administration was elected I predicted that it was only a matter of time before civil unrest broke out in the streets. I get that the previous govt overlooked a lot of serious problems for too long, but state sanctioned violence is never the solution.

Patten makes a strong case. The geopolitical axis is shifting and nations where democracy still exists must step up and play a part in filling the void.

This is where they make and store the good stuff while it ages. Reims, Champagne, France. It's chilly down in those caves but the end result is encroyable!

We need to be talking a lot more about using decentralised innovation models to solve global problems with science.

Created a good impression with the locals this evening when we popped out for a few drinks.

Erected 1889 and still going strong. Today's money shot after a very long walk along the Seine.

Distributed forms of innovation are powerful. Leonardo da Vinci saw the value, but our politicians don't seem to understand it at all. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Quite an impressive Roman amphitheatre still remains standing in Arles, Provence, a strategic location on the Rhone river. Sadly, much of the old town was lost to WW II bombing raids inflicted by both sides.
