Hello from Shenzhen, China! This is the last city of my Chinese trip, and together with some very interesting discussions I’m having with people here and some new great friends I’m making, I’m also enjoying a lot of Chinese food, since my B&B is in a part of the city full of small local restaurants.

Hello everyone from Shanghai, China!

I would like to say that this has been an exciting week for XR, but it wouldn’t be true: actually, probably also because of the vacations for the 1st of May, it has been one of the most boring weeks of the year in our field. But I’m excited anyway since I’m going to have […]

Actually I’m going to celebrate the day of the workers by working, since I have a few deliveries to take care of, and that’s also why this newsletter […]
