Seoul @ Work

My first overseas assignment... I was dreading to go on this business trip, sharing a room with my boss, working with the bimbotic client,etc. Oh man, doesn't it sounded dreadful to anyone?Though it's like any other conference in Singapore but it does have its fresh experience. Language is definitely a barrier in Korea but you'll be surprised how the serivce industries (hotel/restaurants/retails) have improved in their standard of English.

Preparation for the conference was pretty smooth sailing, the stress and siansation came on Thurs morning when we have to wake up really early (5am - S'pore time) to go to the airport to fetch the delegates and finalised all the logistics for the conference in the afternoon, oh yes and above all we also have to manage the problematic client. Overall, it was a pretty smooth and satisfying event.

Going back to Seoul this time has allowed me to learn the Korean's working attitude and culture, other than that, not much of a memory. I had already brought the best memories in 2006.
