Notes from....

notes from where?! well, doesn't matter, i'm on the road anyway~~ hahaa...

so yeh, i've been out of station mostly for this month... just finished spending the past 6 days in Nairobi and arrived Dubai last nite, so, here's a little something happened during this trip so far...

• Weather - from the coldest weather to the hottest: It's winter in Kenya now (the south hemisphere). Day/Night time temp is ~20/13C; while it's THE hottest time in Dubai: Day/Night is ~ 46/34C - AND have i mentioned - i've the same set of clothes?!
  
  it's SO cold that we didn't wanna go out at night b/c we didn't wanna leave the HEATER and it's SO hot that i didn't go out b/c it's just melting hot outside now!!!!!!!
  
  
• Food: Out of surprise i don't have much Indian food - i think I've Indian Chinese, Kenyan Chinese, UAE's chinese more than any other cuisine - oh yeah, not to mention, the Lasagna that I had on Friday kept me FULL from 3pm to 11 pm man.... I think i won't have that for quite some time XD
  
  
• Room & Board - Stayed in the guest house in Nairobi & Holiday Inn in Dubai: Frankly speaking other than lack of sufficient shower jet pressure and no internet collection i LOVE the guest house > hotel a lot more - u know, got a maid to do the laundry EVERY day... a driver...... and NO CHARGE... OH, and a roomie too - everything everything, just feel more comfy in Narobi
  
  
• Having a ROOMATE - gosh, it has been a LONG time since i've a roomate - and believe me, it's TOTALLY TOTALLY TOTALLY weird XD I don't know, maybe it's really that i'm getting old, or just tired of colleague = roomate => bored to death => just ran out of "space"! hhahahaha... endless talk (whatever BS that is) AND TRIED to get DRUNK (yeh, just tried, didn't though!) hahahaha... oh oh oh, and not to mention I was actually watching those chessy doggy cheap Friday nite movie with a ROOMIE wakakkakakakaka.. JUST CRAZY!!! Glad don't have to do it that often. Sometimes i think it's hard to maintain a professional partnership while getting very cloes in personal level?! Anyway... On the other hand though, being alone in the hotel is kinda boring...
  
  
• Customers visit vs. Suppliers visit - doesn't really matter which way to go first - just have to make sure to take ENOUGH time to be in between - this time is defintely TOO SHORT and NOT productive at all. BAD BAD BAD *oh well what the heck, i'll still see if i can sneak out and see Dubai

Anyway, heading home in about... 3 days.... can't wait :P *and will go to see softhard w/in 24 hrs once i touched HK* XD
