134 now experiencing the tensions of growing inte- gration with the Chinese mainland. The Solari Report has three subscribers in Hong Kong – and what fun they are! One was kind enough to arrange a superb tour of Chung Chi University for me. Chung Chi was where I spent part of my third year abroad in college. I then headed to Bangladesh to meet with Con- gresswoman Cynthia McKinney, who is now a professor teaching at North South University in Dhaka. The one thing she asked was that I bring a bottle of her favorite salad dressing. Lo and behold one of our Hong Kong subscribers found the one store in Hong Kong that carries Cynthia’s favorite dressing. I arrived in Bangladesh with a bag full of Hidden Valley Ranch. It’s the little things that count! Cynthia and I spent a week in deep conversa- tion about how to protect the US Constitution, recording a Solari Report interview for the 2nd Quarter Wrap Up – Enforce the Constitution or Kiss Your Money Goodbye! Cynthia was constant- ly surrounded by a group of remarkable students from her Leadership and Entrepreneurship classes. Excited to share their futures as entrepreneurs building businesses in Bangladesh, they escorted us on numerous road trips, excursions, and exotic meals. I wrote a forward for Saker’s new book. The forward is now re-published at Solari. My visit in Dhaka coincided with Eid – a Muslim holiday. Everyone was dressed in their finest silks. The beauty of the dense crowds as a sea of flowing, colorful silk dresses and shirts inspired me to head to the shops to purchase silk and cotton cloths, shirts, pillowcases, and dresses as presents for my remaining 2017 travels. I returned to the United States through San Francisco. We had a “Lunch with Catherine” for a wonderful group of Bay Area subscribers in Marin. I stayed with the immensely talented pho- tographer Leonardi Ferri and his family in Marin and learned that son Michele Ferri had started a new law firm with his colleague Jonathan Lurie. They were retained on one project, then another and have written a series of three Special Solari Reports on the laws regarding federal finances that we have published on our Enforce the Constitution website at constitution.solari.com. In July we launched our new website for my online book Dillon Read & Co. Inc. and the Aristocracy of Stock Profits. The inspiration was the addition of a new French translation generously contributed by Vanessa Biard-Schaeffer. Vanessa is a Trustee and Secretary of the Institute of General Semantics in New York, a Realtor with a Master in Real Estate Investment from the Sorbonne University in Paris as well as a free-lance journal- ist and member of the Syndicat des Journalistes de la Presse Périodique, France. The book is also available in Spanish. In August, I flew to Santa Fe for a long weekend, including an evening at the Santa Fe opera to see Die Fledermaus. Then I continued to Europe to spend time with friends and colleagues, including Ulrike Granögger who teaches the Pistis Sophia. Our first stop was the Bregenz Festival known for producing operas with fantastic sets on a floating stage on Lake Constance – the third largest fresh water lake in Central Europe. The opera for the 2017 season was Carmen. All I can say is “wow!” I am looking forward to returning for the Bregenz Festival in the summer of 2018 and to the Santa Fe Opera as well. We then drove to Verona Italy to see Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 performed in the Verona Arena, the first-century Roman amphitheatre in the Piazza Bra in Verona. We also discovered a series of free concerts in the Verona cathedrals that were sublime, all including pipe organ music. Next, we headed to the top of Austrian Alps to stay with friends. Driving through the Italian, Swiss and Austrian Alps is spectacularly beautiful. Then on the way back to Lake Constance, Ulrike agreed to produce a new series on Future Science for the Solari Report. I was thrilled! I headed to Zurich for business meetings and then flew on to Amsterdam, Netherlands. Our videographer, Robert Dupper, is based in Stavoren in the Friesland area of the Netherlands. It is a great place to hang out, get inspired work done and conspire with Robert. We had a small lunch at a local restaurant with a handful of European subscribers, including boating through IX.
