Picking up from Part III.
On Friday morning, after another sleepless night, I got out of bed at 6 am and started working. I was planning on leaving Bangalore at midnight to Kuala Lumpur, on my way to Taipei. Considering what a disaster my trip had been so far, I flirted with the idea cutting it […]

Picking up from Part II.
I was relieved to finally step of the plane when we arrived in Bangalore. It was a warm and breezy day, which felt great after leaving Denver in a blizzard.
Since I had a nice nap on the plane, I felt like a new person. My business partner picked me up […]
Picking up from Part I.
Frankfurt to Munich is a short flight. After arriving in Munich, I was reminded how nice its airport is - there are lots of fancy shops and cafes. Its much better than Frankfurt. But I was too tired to for window shopping, and instead, went […]
February was an awfully long month. And not just because it had an extra day! It also included my fairly disastrous trip around the world.
The trip started from Denver and then wound its way for two weeks through Frankfurt, Munich, Mumbai, Deli, Bangalore, Kaula Lumpur, Taipei and finally back to Denver.

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.

But I’ve been bothered to this day by some of the comments made at the party. Most of the women at the party had […]
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 slept well Saturday night for the first time on my trip. Since its the weekend in the US, I didn’t have to wake up midnight to call into the office. Hooray.
Sunday was a typical, hot, sultry, summer day in Shanghai. I didn’t event want to stick my head out the window! […]
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 […]
