My first business trip! After SEVEN almost sent me to London. Dr Pan was very kind to ask me along for this trip to assist him and observe at a United Nations meeting. It's about trade information knowledge systems with the least developed countries. I am honored to have met trade government officials from Bhutan, Nepal, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Timor-Leste; and also friends from Bangalesh and the UN itself. It was a truely rewarding experience although before that I was kinda afraid of staying in a hotel alone.....Luckily Leslie joined me halfway through the trip and we did spend the last few days doing touristy stuff like eating, shopping and...getting lost. I remember Greyhound cafe in the emporium which serves good food, Yaowaraj for their seafood and Chatuchak market for cheap shoes and food! (seem to be revolving a lot around food). At period of writing, I am in my last stage of my internship with Credit Suisse First Boston. Although I didn't do much at work, it was a great learning experience and a good chance to meet people. Although I still have 1 more year to graduation (thanks to my masters), I hope that in time I can be someone whom I deserve to be.
