The last three weeks have been filled with trips - a trip to Bangkok to meet Wendy (friend of the family living in India), a trip to Penang, and in the week just gone, a trip to Hong Kong. It's been good to be home this weekend.
Bangkok was fun - found a great seafood place, (excellent lobster, and a spicy chilli fish dish). Got a couple of suits made at a place recommended by some people from work. Sam at Gulati's did a great job of minimising my round stomach. The shirts look good as well...
Penang was a bit of a whitewash. A day off turned into a day of working from a hotel room. Still, a good meal at an Italian cafe, and a good Thai place the following night salvaged some of the weekend.
Hong Kong was all about work- two days of work surrounded by a good day-and-a-half of travel. However, HK is a great city and very much alive. Cuisine-Cuisine is an excellent restaurant in the IFC Mall.
KL Conference Centre is hosting an PC Fair, and part of today was spent fighting through the crush of the crowds to see what is happening. Ended up buying a laptop (Sony Vaio), and then of course we needed to buy a wireless router to connect up to the broadband connection. It's amazing how the money just keeps going into the same black hole... The laptop will be great for keeping in touch on the trip around Europe and North America.
Now watching the DVD of "Mrs Henderson Presents". It's a great movie, in the same style as "The Calendar Girls". Well worth watching.
