Chris goes Asia

Well, well, well... Now I'm sitting in the airport lounge in Frankfurt and I'm waiting for my flight to Asia (Shanghai via Hanoi to be exact).
It's been a few months ago, when my boss asked me, if I would like to take over our branch in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Well, after a very short decision phase, I agreed. That was in February 2014. Now 6 months later I'm already almost there. First stop will be Shanghai, where I will meet our Chinese colleagues.
My company is a medium sized freight forwarding company based in Basel, Switzerland. During the last 10 years, the company saw business opportunities in far east, and that's why we already have 4 overseas branches (3 in China and 1 in Vietnam).
So much about the facts, which normally are pretty boring :)!
I've been only once to Asia before (Seoul), which was amazing, but I guess Vietnam might be a bit different. Same here in Europe if somebody would say Italy and Finland are the same.

I would like to share my impressions and adventures with you during my time down in Asia. I'm pretty sure, there is much to tell. Plan is, that I will stay for 2-3 years, so I hope I can entertain you a bit during this time, and that you enjoy reading this blog.

Time's up now and I need to go to boarding! 

Here you then from Asia

Chris
