KOREA, INDONESIA, VIETNAM
April 2011

From Dubai I flew for the first time the Airbus A380. Same food, same lack of leg space and not enough toilets. Nothing new really! Stayed a week in Korea and than proceeded to Indonesia for a 3 weeks visit. A lot of heavy rain. However as always, "The Agansa Boys" (Ryanto, Pryanto, ... names!) took good care of me. From Jakarta I flew on to Ho Chi Ming City to attend the Saigontex and made some customer visits with Freddy Wu.

PHILLIPINES & MALAYSIA
a successful survey 21.-28.05.2011
Raul Manapat requested me to visit a major customer near Manila and I decided to include Malaysia to visit some customers with Mr. Tan . As always the time frame of one week was a bit ambiguous and Sight-Seeing fell definitely short! Otherwise it was worth while and the next time I will take it easier! Luckily on the way Home, Emirate Airways got a seat directly from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai. hat saved me a trip back to Manila. On the other hand a had a stay of 8 hour at Dubai airport to catch my flight to Zürich. That's time for many beers at the Irish Pub!

INDONESIA & VIETNAM
30.08. - 20.12.2011
SlideShow: Indonesia, Malaysia, Phillipines, Vietnam & Japan, 2011

After ITMA 2011 in Barcelona, there where
2 further trips for 2011 on the agenda:

1. Indonesia and Vietnam (3 weeks)
2. Korea, Japan, Philippines and Malaysia
(4 weeks)

Both passed without any incident only my old knee & leg problems (Arthritis) troubled me for the last 2 weeks. An extended tour of PT APAC INTI CORPORA (APACINTI) almost "killed" me. A Cortison injection, when back Home, fixed it for the time being! I'm aware that that is not much of a Report. I promise to do better again in 2012! At least I made some pictures. It seems I am too busy running around, neglecting my website! Maybe one day I find time to add some comments!

Let's give it a try:

 Starting in Indonesia, than flew to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City / Vietnam) where I spent some time with Freddy Wu (Saigon Tex).

On to Seoul (Korea), visiting with Benjamin Paik the Starbuck, having some Cafe Machiatta . Customers visits and Business Lunches mainly sitting on the wooden floor, getting down like a sac of cement and coming up like an Old Hippo.

From Korea I flew to Fukuoka where I met Walter Kiechl , my boss. We visited customers on Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island with Justin . We proceeded to Osaka, Japan where Walter went Home

I flew to Manila than Kuala Lumpur and as last station Jakarta . Via Muskat I got back Home!
