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