Just another banter

Wednesday, May 31st, 2006

Okay, I gotta admit it.
I’m getting fat…..   :)

Well, life has been good to me and I think that it is something that I can be thankful of.

So….  May has been a blast. Really really really busy!
The first two weeks were like unbelieveable. From the end of April, I got 5 back to back group including an Indian group as well as a buy out at FS Sayan. Break my record for staying up late at the hotel until 2 AM. Wasn’t the best experience. But I still enjoy it.

Especially when I got the final payment of the group which is a little over……  a MILLION dollars!
That and the appreciation letter from the organizer as well as the client really makes my day.

Then, there was the two weeks of Sales calls in Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Korea started off rough as I was still suffering from a cold from the previous week which I still could’nt shake off. Was sneezing and stuff during that week. It doesn’t help that Seoul was also quite cold for my preference. (20 Celcius. Well…  I am a tropical island boy. The coldest I ever experienced here was 25 degrees. Ha ha)
Not to mention that we arrive at 5 AM and had to do sales calls at NOON.

Kimchi was great. For some reason I quite enjoyed it. Not much time for sightseeing though. Was too busy running around to meet with appointment schedules.

Hong Kong was another story. Read this out loud…

HONG KONG DISNEYLAND!

Ha ha. Me and my ‘big brother’ Asni had a great time here. Don’t trust me? See the photo album!
A picture can say a thousand words. More or less…..  ;)

Don’t forget to check out the photos at the ‘Peak’. Some nice shots overlooking Hong Kong’s skyline.

I found Taiwan’s weather is much better this time around. There were actually visible blue skies and it was not raining. Ha ha.
Finnaly got to visit the famous Taipei’s night market and tried the the skill contests there. Got the cutest ‘big headed dog’ doll there was. Can’t believe I brought it back to Bali with me. So happy that it can make somebody as delighted as well.

Guess that’s it for now. Will try to write up some more banter when I got the chance or urge to.  :)

Take care and enjoy life!
