GIM International's publishing director Durk Haarsma is a new blogger, here sharing his thoughts on our website during a visit to Japan:

"I am a strong believer in the theory that economy is psychology. An attitude of optimism will help dig the economy out of the biggest recession for decades. But psychology is not all. The sheer fact that surveying is a business looking forward to future growth, that almost every day brings new reinforcement of the importance of geo-information, is enough to encourage the belief that, combined with even moderate optimism and plenty of pride in good-quality products, the survey manufacturing business in Japan will receive a boost in the post-recession era. So here's good luck- or, as they say in Japanese, sachiare!"
