Greetings From....

This can be a running post.

June 2: I will be back in Taiwan either late or very late tonight depending if a seat opens up on an earlier flight. I had a meeting in the city today and I also got a frequent visitor card (no more waiting in line at customs like all you other suckers!). Thailand was good. It really was not overly busy. My meeting yesterday was rough. We have had a lot of problems lately so they hammered me pretty well but I stayed cool and was able to handle it. As for the part below from the 30th, I actually went out with a new Thai friend to a sweet club. Below is a picture of the sick hotel room I was able to get (2 bathrooms, 5 total rooms, my own bathrobe...you get the idea).

May 30: I went out and did some shopping for family and coworkers today. Other than that it was pretty quiet. I had a pretty rocking hangover from last night. The club we went to was free cover but closed at 2am (like everywhere else. As I was waiting for a taxi I met some people who, with broken English, invited me to an after-hours club that was open until 6am. It actually closed at 3:30am and it was a good thing since I was already in that happy place. Not sure what to do tonight. Probably go walk around the city a bit.

May 29: I am in Bangkok, Thailand now. I didnt have any meetings this morning but I did have a shit ton of emails to and reports for work to take care of. Right now I just finished dinner and I am waiting for my Taiwanese friend to get into the city so we can go out and party. I will post my thoughts about my time in Cambodia later. I may be back in late June (after my trip to China).

May 27: I have been with customers almost all day the past 2 days. Which is totally cool. They have been very nice and receptive to my products and offers. Beyond that I have had some great Khmer food. My hotel is pretty nice but there are a lot of "bars" or "karaoke" joints around with options for other services so walking on the streets is pretty funny at night ("You want boom boom?"). The two pictures below are from my tuk tuk ride to my meeting this morning. I was not able to get a picture of the sidewalk barber shop outside the temple--it was cool. The picture right below should give an idea of some of the crazy traffic here (even though it was tame this morning by Phnom Penh standards).

May 26: I am in Phnom Penh, Cambodia now at a customer's office with a bit of free time. The real work is tomorrow and Thursday. Below are two pictures I took from the office window.
