Well folks,

This trip is over. I am now in the midst of my journey home stopped for a brief layover in Japan. Japan is amazing, there is crazy advanced technology everywhere, I wish I could stay longer.

To everyone who has faithfully been reading the blog (there are many according to the stats), thank you for your interest in my summer adventure. It has been a great trip and I am certainly ready to come home. I now leave Osaka at 3:00 PM and arrive in Los Angeles at 10:00 AM, the same day.

An additional thanks to Lingmei Howell, KIAsia, Buck Goldstein, BJ and, of course, Puumsoft.

Back to the USA on Friday -

Adam, John and I stayed in Bangkok and relaxed for my final weekend in Thailand. On Saturday evening, UNC threw a bash at the Oriental Hotel for Chancellor Moeser's visit to Thailand. The three of us threw on some suits and took a taxi down to the Oriental, regarded as one of the ten nicest hotels in the world.

We were all very impressed with the attendees and their awareness of the CEI (Carolina Entrepreneurship Initiative). Many of the people there were quite familiar with the Entrepreneurship Minor and were very interested to speak with us about the new program. In particular, Chancellor Moeser applauded our bravery as the first undergraduate interns to travel all the way to Bangkok and regaled us with the international acclaim that UNC has received for its burgeoning entrepreneurship program. After the reception, we traveled along with some of the other students from UNC to a few late night spots in Bangkok.

Right now it is Monday morning at Puumsoft. This week I will be travelling out of the office to a few of our clients' places to complete some customer satisfaction surveys. Additionally, I will be doing further work on the competitive analysis project. Thursday I pack my stuff and Friday I wake up early to fly for 30 some odd hours back to CLT.

If you need an elephant bobble-head or another trinket from Thailand, speak now or forever hold your peace.
