Update from Thailand

I am reaching the end of week 3 in Thailand, and I have to say I have hardly gotten the chance to see Bangkok! The first week I was sick the whole week and missed most of work....after taking antibiotics I was fine the first weekend to go to Kuala Lumpur. It was a nice trip...saw the Petronas Towers, went to the Batu Caves (where we saw the tallest Hindu structure in the world) and did a little shopping. Last weekend I went to Cambodia and saw Angkor Wat, which was amazing! We saw it at both sunrise and sunset. Also saw like 5 other temples too, and my favorite time was when we got up for sunrise on Sunday because it was so peaceful and also not as hot! The next 3 weekends I am headed to Thailand beaches (Ko Samui, Phuket, and Krabi). Will be nice to relax for once!

Here in Bangkok I haven't been doing too much at night as traffic here is horrible and it takes us forever to get home from work. Sad to say I haven't had that much good thai food yet! My goal is to find some good restaurants nearby the hotel. I did have some street food this week which was better than most of the restaurants I've been to. My new favorite thai dish is mango w/ sticky rice, which is a dessert that is amazing! Next week I am going to start exploring the city more...at least do some shopping at night :)

The Round 3 schedule changed and I am now going to Manila (Philippines) instead of Moscow, as the audit was cancelled. I am really sad about that, because I think I will be tired of very warm weather after 5 more weeks here. But, we are staying in serviced apartments in philippines, which are supposed to be really nice. I will have a 2BR 2 Bath apartment with kitchen all to myself for 8 weeks, so if anyone wants to visit I would love some company! The beaches in the country are supposed to be amazing, so I should have some good weekend trips.

Work is very busy this time...I have lots to do and I don't know how I am going to get it done! It's much more stressful audit than Turkey. At least I can relax at the beach the next 3 weekends, and this weekend and next are long holiday weekends here, which will be nice! Hope everyone is well!
