Back to The International Super Hero Travel Project The following transcripts outline email conversations that I have had with the deadly Dr Reckless in his quest for world domination The latest update that I have heard is that it all went sour and he has moved to Sydney I still haven't heard from him in a year, but I haear he is a lot happier now!

I can honestly say it's better than working by a loooooooooooooooooong stretch! I have to say again how insanely obsessed everyone here is with money and work. In the singapore papers there are photos in the obituaries, and there is an abundance of middle aged businessmen dying of heart attacks etc. Not me baby, this is one individual who ain't gonna die to make someone rich! In germany i hear they are trying to introduce the 30 hour working week, i reckon thats a pretty good idea. It really hits home how important it is to live life for the pursuit of pleasure when you are surrounded by people who have no lives outside of work. There is no recognition of the need to stop and take note of the beauty of life or the pleasure gained from being with your family, or even taking part in a friendly( not competitive) game of sport. Everything is so capitalist - dog eat dog, get money etc and for what? No one here seems happy. This place is full of old people who have let their lives slip away only to realise the more important things in life are gone. However at the same time, people enjoy creating their own econmic empire, and have vast loads of cash. I guess it comes down to the individual, however most people don't have a choice - everyone must join the rat-race. Singapore might not be a long term home for me!

I think i'll be spending about a month in india soon, travelling all over the south and the north, recruiting students, doing presentations, opening an office, taking care of sales reps, making reports on each city - all with the idea that kc (my boss) wants 200 new students in the next 3 months. I will also be going to indonesia, kazakhstan, bangladesh, middle east (dubai, united arab emirates), malaysia, maybe the seychelles, sri lanka and south africa. Pretty daunting stuff when you consider these are all new markets for the business and i will have to modify each presentation to fit each culture. for example in india corruption is huge and i have to understand that the bribing of govt officials is normal and that everything must be suggested rahter than being told to the prospective students. Tomorrow i'l' be corresponding with the education minister of the seychelles and preparing for the india excursion - if i'm allowed to get on with things of course! there is a norm here that once you sit down to do something you get taken away to do something else which is very frustrating. Still i'm going in with the philosophy of just going nuts and doing everything to the height of my abilities. One can only try and do their best. Give all the single people a big cuddle from me, i hope they are doing better! Don't be put off if i sound unhappy, again i'm just a bit shellshocked but i'll be okay (i am currently touching wood!)

Where are you? what have you been up to? How bad do you miss us? Kindest regards Captain Safet ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Sunday, May 21, 2000 1:21 AM Subject: i miss you you hello Work here is the most important thing in people's lives. Even when they socialise they talk about work - it's really unusual. Businessmen seem to hold themselves above the rest as though they have a sort of divinity. There is talk I'll be in Indonesia next week and India not far away. My training is going to turn to poo which I'm really angry about. I'm soooooo busy it's not funny. 12 hour days are not unusual. I think 12 months will be my maximum stay here. Might try and get a job in Sydney. My role here is international marketer. Have to go lots to the third world and recruit people. The guy I'm going with kind of acts like he's made of cardboard. Maybe he'll lighten up later. Give my love to everyone at home. I so wish I was out with you all having the loved up time of my life! Don't find it unuusal if it takes me a while to get back to your e-mails sometimes as I 'm really busy and I haven't stopped since I got off the plane. They don't seem to care that we're tired. Please send me big e-mails soon! Big kisses and loves Dr Reckless ----- Original Message ----- ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Monday, May 15, 2000 11:16 PM Hello safety, you poor excuse for a man!
