The problem with foreigners in Cambodia during the time of a pandemic is that there is very little information available for foreigners to know what is going on and what the next step is. It is left to one’s own assumptions and findings to know what to do next. What is given is some standard leaflet which does not clarify anything and there were no Cambodian officials were around to give any briefings on what to do next to us.… [Click to read the rest] “Kingdom of Cambodia 2020: Part 5 – Self Isolation & Great Malaysian Food”

Whenever I am on an overseas assignment, I have always stayed in a hotel.

(The service apartment that I stayed in Bangkok, overseeing the Chao Praya river – so far one of the best of all the ‘hotels’ that I have stayed)

I woke up early at about 8 am despite setting my alarm to sound at 10 am.

Having said, it does not mean Brunei is not trying to promote its tourism sector, something that they will need when the oil runs out one day.… [Click to read the rest] “Trip to Brunei – Part 3”

Day 1 in Bangkok

You know you can never be ready whenever leaving for an overseas assignment. It always happens to me – documents to be printed at the last minute, last minute meetings, last minute rush to the bank, last minute rush to exchange the foreign currency and other last minute etc.
