Taipei

Landed in Taipei around lunchtime. Only staying to tomorrow evening when it's time to go to Hong Kong, but at least there are some time to prepare for tomorrows meetings. Also managed to have dinner in Taipei 101.

Meeting Dan in Singapore

Dan and me during transfer at Changi Airport in Singapore


A funny thing happened this week. I was going on a roadshow to Taipei, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur and Dan was going to Singapore and we realized that my transfer to Taipei landed at the same time. So, we managed to get a quick coffee together before I had to board my onwards flight to Taipei. The world is small when you meet your Swedish friends in Singapore instead of Stockholm.

Onwards to Kuala Lumpur

View over KLCC from the hotel room at Hilton Sentral




Petronas Towers




All this flying between different timezones takes it's toll


Spent the whole week in KL working. I really like KL, first of all, it's a real city which isn't what you can say about Dubai. A part from that people are nice and the climate is much nicer than Dubai. I have been quite a lot in KL and other areas in Malaysia, mainly for vacations over the years but also a number of times for work over the last years. I can warmly recommend going to Malaysia.

Another Brunch at Jumeirah Beach

Gathered for Dubai's favorite Friday happening


Back from Dhaka it was time to spend two days in Dubai before heading towards Kuala Lumpur. Since we had some new visitors to Dubai it was time for Dubai's favorite Friday happening, the brunch.

This time we went back to a old favorite, Jumeirah Beach Hotel which wasn't as good experience as before, the food is still excellent but there was a general lack of service which isn't what you're used for there, especially not with those prices.

Back to Bangladesh

Not the best work environment


It's time to go back to Bangladesh for the third time to hold a series of customer workshop. Last time I was there I ended up staying a extra day due to a faulty airplane. This time I'm supposed to be there for 4 days together with Magnus. We also decided not to stay inside central Dhaka which can be fairly busy (especially the traffic is crazy). So, this time we went for Radisson SAS which is located between our office and the customers office.
