I know I haven't been very rigorous with my travel updates, but I haven't completely abondoned my old ways, I just toned them down a bit for the duration of me working on my thesis.

So I'm currently on the Channel Islands visiting my Mother. To be more precise I'm on Guernsey. For those who don't know the Channel Islands, they are famous for being a tax haven. I've been contemplating what it would be like to live on a tax haven (Malta, Gibraltar and the Cayman Islands for example) some over the course of the last year and it's nice to get a taste of it.
So far my opinion is that on the one hand it's nice to live by the sea, the air is really good and you can go swimming (though it's pretty cold here in the Atlantic), but on the other hand there's also not a whole lot to do and you aren't really where all the action is happening. It seems really good for internet business though as the taxes are super good.
I'd have to check out some more warmer tax havens I guess, because maybe the nice weather will outway the feeling of being far away from things.

Been getting in some more poker hands and I've been having fun playing too. If I felt I wasn't having fun I'd just quit, but poker is pretty fresh to me right now and I've had a lot of time to reflect on my game and what my plans are for the next couple of years so I'm in a pretty good mindset. I hope to continue this trend and work on my game so I get better and better.

That's all for now, just wanted to post a small update. Here are some pics of where I'm staying and I'll make sure to post any updates as they arise:
