Dubai and Miami are the physical versions of Instagram. I'm astonished.

Didn't like the infrastructure.

These South American vibes are not my thing.

Was supposed to stay for three days, bailed after the first.

On the plus side of my experience, I visited Bobby Goodlatte, who invested early in Coinbase and made a decent amount. He has a penthouse in the center, in one of those over-the-top condos with a real Blade Runner vibe. Made me think, “damn, is this what I should be striving for?” as I once dreamed of something like it. It’s like a slice of Vice City, but no, it didn’t hit me as I thought it would.

Lesson: Want peace? Be where it's peaceful. Want madness? Be where the madness is.
