work, work, work and a tiny bit of leisure

Written by designfolder on May 22, 2012 – 11:57 pm -

I like travelling in general. But after two weeks of marathon business trips to Vietnam and China for a company that I’ve recently joined, I realized that it will take some time for me to learn how to like this kind of travelling. To be honest, I don’t like plane rides and long hours waiting in the airport. The two trips felt like extra long commutes going to a meeting, spending most of my time inside the airport and on the road.

On the bright side, the hotels where we stayed (Silkpath Hotel in Hanoi and Crowne Plaza Hotel in Shenzhen) were really nice! It’s also a bonus to be travelling with a “demanding” boss because he managed to get our rooms upgraded!

So there, that’s my excuse for the silence here in df. I’m still in the process of finding an efficient way to juggle my freelance practice, writing, and being a director in a retail design firm. If I decide to continue with this new career venture, I’ll be doing more of these marathon trips. I’ll take them as  opportunities to share with you the places I visit, even if it’s just a construction site in Vietnam, haha! :)

    I love nice hotels! I wouldn’t mind seeing pics of all your future hotel rooms :)

    more interesting hotel rooms in the future! (but hopefully less marathon-ish trips :) )
