Trips

It's been so long since I last blogged. I stopped blogging because I got too bored and ran out of stuff to talk about. I returned to blog because I feel like doing so. So much has happened the past five months.

Since I went to Vancouver in October, I've been to Toronto twice, Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia, Macau, and Guangzhou twice for work. Every trip was quite an experience, but the first Toronto trip took away my enthusiasm and I stopped blogging. The second Toronto trip, however, was very special. The first trip I spent most of my time with friends, neglecting my relatives. The second time I mainly spent time with my relatives, and I didn't meet up with friends except for the closest few. It was a great feeling to be with my relatives again. It's been a very long time since everybody was together at the same place at the same time. It was a great feeling.

Kota Kinabalu was a great treat. It was my first business trip, but it was a resort that I stayed at and I had the whole room in Shangri-La to myself. The resort was beautiful and the trip was fun. I even managed to go snorkelling and scuba diving. I would've climbed up Mount Kinabalu, except that I ran out of vacation days. I was lucky I didn't go, however, because the day I would've gone climbing rained pretty hard. I also received a Christmas present from the trip. It was very sweet and unexpected.

The second trip to Guangzhou was like a vacation. All that preparation for the meetings was a nightmare, having to learn all the Chinese terms and what not. However, the two drinks places that we went to were very, very nice. I'd love to visit those places again next time I go to Guangzhou. Err... with all that wine too, of course. ;-)
