On Thursday I arrived in Tokyo, after spending the last week in Shanghai. After spending two days in Tokyo, I left for Seoul on Sunday.
Thankfully this is my final stretch of my four week trip to Asia. However, I still have two more cities to visit - Hong Kong and then back to […]

After attending the Taipei International Electronics Show last week, I left Taipei for Shanghai. Since there is no direct flight from Taiwan to China, I had to go through a very scenic Korean island called Jeju. It looks like a nice place for vacation.
Taiwan airlines and China East airlines seem to have mastered […]
With 12,00 exhibitors and 66,000 buys, the Taipei International Electronics show is one of the biggest shows in the electronics industry. And it’s definitely the biggest show I have attended.
Walking through the exhibition floor, you’ll see all sorts of products, ranging from electronic components to safety and surveillance equipment to wireless communications to testing […]
It seems like you never get a break in sales. It’s the first week of October - the beginning of the 4th quarter. Now starts the final stretch for making our yearly sales quota.

I woke up this morning, and saw the Eiffel tower outside the window. For while, I thought I was in Paris. Here is a view of Tokyo from my hotel window in Shinagawa.
When I left Shanghai on Tuesday, it had started to rain and the temperature mercifully dropped almost 10 degrees. After a short 3 hour flight I arrived in Japan at Narita airport. Right now it is rainy season in much of Japan, which the Japanese call “tsuyu”, or “plum rain.” While it […]
I wrapped up my work in Singapore on Friday evening. Next up is Shanghai, my typical resting place in Asia. My family owns an apartment in the Pudong district (the modern part of Shanghai), which makes it great stop over city for me.
After getting back to my hotel around midnight, I woke up […]
