A Short Note

Now it is 5.44am Beijing time, 6.44am Korean time. Woke up earlier so that I can write something on my blog, missing that, haha.
You know I only can and able to do so when I am out of Beijing.
Many things to write, but with so many things to write down, and with such a short time to do, it is simply, a very hard task.
First, I am sad with the Tsunami issue in Sendai. I am still praying for all the victims there. May Buddha bless them all.
And with the war in Libya, and I think it is terrible for these so called "champions' of selected democracy' governments can choose to just attack Libya. I mean what would happen if the reverse is taking place? Can't Libyans handle their own internal issues?
And for USA, I think they should spend more time tackling their own domestic issues, and their USD rather than going to war. Solve your own domestic issues first.
And next, guys, please invest a little bit more in Gold and Silver. Do not hold any USD in any of your forex account, they are worthless (go to this website occasionally to understand more http://www.futurefastforward.com/).
And finally, I hope to take a short break, too busy and tired. 3 days training, working until late nite after the training, and now in Seoul, then will be back to Beijing, etc etc.
Hope to get a good weekend break, and also Spring weather is coming........I mean Summer in Beijing (because Spring is rather short in Beijing).

A Small Note

Last nite, trying to write a bit since I still have a bit of time before flying back to Beijing, but seems there were some problems with my Internet or it could be due to my laptop.
Was very busy, Beijing to BKK-Pattaya-BKK-Beijing, and in 30 mins' time, I am leaving the hotel, the tropical weather, and flying back to Beijing. ANd next week again, another full busy week ahead.

This is the 3rd time I came back to Pattaya, and staying in Sheraton hotel, which I think is quite a good hotel. And my colleagues from China were impressed with their level of services and they were looking for a visit to Malaysia, and have been asking a lot whether Malaysian hospitality can match that of Thais. I said, in general, it is hard, cause we are different, culturally, and secondly, with less competition in the market, and with a lot of foreign labourers being used, we will not be able to project the right identity and image to the customers, unless they are well trained like what S'pore is doing.
Nevertheless, I think I was a good "tour guide' in promoting Thailand, and at the same time, ASEAN, and the place I want them to visit most is Malaysia, but are we ready for that type of competition in traveling industry? Thailand are full of visitors, even until now. And my colleagues were wondering why they are so successful??????????????
