An old trip to Asia Pacific.

 Note from Burns: I'm attempting to update the blog with other travel writing I have done.  This one was a business trip to Hong Kong, Seoul, and Singapore in 1999 with a stop off in Tokyo on my own.  About the only time I've EVER gotten to fly in Business Class! I was sent to meet some specific customers in Hong Kong and to attend DECUS (the user group for our product and others) in Seoul and Singapore. 

It happens I had already written this in Word, so I'll embed the PDF form in the blog.  You can (I think) hit a button on it so that it fills a page instead of being part of the kind of small blog size.  The pictures are kind of small, but remember they were also taken with a film camera back then and scanned.  Nonetheless, I can probably get them bigger if I spend the time at some point.

Fair to say that while I had traveled some before this, I had never to the Asia-Pacific are and never totally alone.  It shows in some of my written thoughts.

One more thing to add:  When I had business trips, I usually tried to go early and stay a bit late (or over weekends or whatever) so I could spend some time on my own.  That's how you often see many days of taking tours or walking around without much business mentioned most of the time. 😀
