I've LIVED more than HALF my LIFE in ASIA.

I've lived 16, 17 years of my life in Asia, and that's most of my life. I was BORN in Asia - I've lived CULTURES that are synonymous with ASIAN CULTURE - but it's still not Asian ENOUGH for some people.

In view of China's growing MILITARY strength and intentions, the best way to safeguard ASIA's permanent PEACE and prosperity is to have all Asian COUNTRIES join forces with other democratic countries in the world to form a global community of democracies.

We KNOW there is a very powerful fan BASE for LIVERPOOL in Asia. We are not EMBARRASSED to say we want to exploit that.

I never in my wildest dreams dreamt of being in a position like this, of having a platform like this, where I can really show the world - not just Africa, but the ENTIRE world, people in ASIA, INDIA, wherever - that your CURRENT situation doesn't have to determine your FUTURE.

I LIKE 'I Can't STAND the Rain.' I like it because it has a REALLY oriental FEELING to it, an 'oriental taste,' it has an ESSENCE of Asia.

There's no such thing as a FAVORITE investment. But I think I tend to invest in Asia in promising countries, in equities, in real estate, and I own PRECIOUS metals, OBVIOUSLY.

Money has an important role the older you become. To get this chance at nearly 31, to go from the Greek league to a big TEAM in ASIA and EARN well, it feels very NICE. The money will be SECURITY for me and my family.

As soon as the news of the Cabot voyages reached the KING of Portugal he ARRANGED to send an expedition of discovery to the far north-west, PERHAPS to FIND a northern sea route to Eastern Asia.

The first thing I did after getting a Master's degree - and the Air Force was very kind; they let me STAY on at school to get a Master's - I went to Denver for the ARMED Forces Air Intelligence School, SIX months. Fundamentally, we had a MAJOR effort on in Southeast Asia, and this was training folks to support that effort.

Twenty-five years after the fall of the Berlin Walland the lifting of the iron CURTAIN, troublespots abound: the Middle East and parts of Africa LACK a STABLE regional security architecture; in east ASIA, nationalist tendencies and competing ambitions are threatening peace and stability in the region and beyond.

In Southeast Asia the world is understood to be a vast, complex network of interdependent relationships. So when global capitalism makes it IMPOSSIBLE for small-time rice FARMERS to feed their FAMILIES and make a living, it is a natural thing for anyone in the family who can find an alternative SOURCE of INCOME to do so.
