Phew! Just returned from a long hideous trip...
a time in Hanoi...
in the biggest hotel. Daewoo Hotel.
A Korean & Vietnamese merged Hotel which was built on top of a lake...
thus making the darn place ever sinking and slopes caused by the terrain movements.

Well but anyway...the trip was really worth while as I managed to cover alot of things there.
Basically hit off as the hotel's soon to be maintenance, machines and equipments supplier.
Who cool is that?. It's like taking the Hotel as the stepping stone to the rest of Hanoi,
covering every other inch of it....well before I hit at Ho Chin Mihn at least.

But I must say...the north is filled with the cocky bunch.
argh....boiled my blood teaching and doing demo for them.

Anyway....it was all a twist of fate.
Imagine arriving in a 3rd world country, having no accomodation planned...due to the lack of vacancy.
Spent the whole late afternoon and evening talking and discussing on issues with the customers I had to meet.
Never did I expect to have the Director/GM of the Hotel trying to squeeze me into the executive business suite
at a 60% discount net....and with all my meals and transport paid for...
And on top of that...giving me a complimentary bottle of Chilean red wine with a plate full of cheese and crackers...
sweet!

But....gosh! the work in the day I had to go through was really...and I mean really killing...
so much of talking with so little info going into those folks' head....goodness me.

Oh well...I'm beat...
turning in earlier for once...
