Asia.0710 – Day 9

Kota Kinabalu

For my last day of work on this trip, we started by leaving early for the airport on the way to Kota Kinabalu (KK). I had a stomachache (maybe from last night’s dinner), so I didn’t eat that much in the lounge for breakfast. Fortunately, it went away after a couple of hours.

After we landed in KK, a bunch of our distributors met us at the airport and drove us to our hotel where we were staying and also where we would be holding our training. We had a quick lunch meeting with our top distributor in East Malaysia, and then went to get ready for the training session. This turned out to be the only time I had to wear my suit for the entire trip. That was a big plus. I was commenting to Rebecca before flying out that the only time I ever wear a suit is for business in Asia, and weddings and funerals.

In the afternoon, I held a three hour training session, I think this is the longest business talk I’ve ever done. It went pretty well, and most of the audience stayed awake, J/K. Afterwards, my parents and I ditched the hotel food and walked outside to a nearby seafood restaurant which was quite good, and incredibly fresh.

After dinner, I still had to make one short appearance at the distributor meeting, and then I was done, no more meetings for the rest of the trip! Now, all I have to do is pack for the long trip back.
