Zurich to Wuhan China
I am back on the road (air) again after a very long break of
virtually no business travel. This trip
I will be hitting three lovely destinations; Wuhan, China. Tuban, Indonesia,
and Dhaka Bangladesh. None of them new
to me, and it will be just a lot of air time.
The first leg is a long one. I
left home at 8:30 on Monday morning and three flights later got to the hotel in
Wuhan until 9pm Tuesday evening (31 hrs).
Due to the next destinations on my trip I flew through Singapore which
added a bit of time to get to Wuhan, including a 6 hr layover in
Singapore. The Cathay Pacific lounge in
Singapore is not a good one to spend much more than a couple of hours in. It has just the basics – without a nice place
to stretch out and the food was pretty plain.
I was pretty tired as I didn’t sleep much on the plane, so after a few
hours I left the lounge and sat in an outside area. There was a thunderstorm passing through so
it was nice to sit outside with the rain and thunder, with the occasional bolt
that landed quite close to keep me awake.
I watched 3 movies, and ate quite a bit on the plane. (the
Movies were - Oblivion, Iron Man 3, Monster University) – I think I enjoyed
Monsters U the most. I am getting tired
of these action movies – just shoot’em ups.
But Oblivion did have me thinking about it later. I can’t even remember the plot line of Iron
man.
I
am now waiting for the arrival of my work colleagues who are flying in from the
Philippines. Their late arrival this
morning has given me some extra time to adjust to the jet lag and catch up on
emails, while sitting in my big fancy hotel room. They upgraded me for some reason to the top
floor (26th )with a suite. Which is a complete waste if you are not traveling with kids..JPG)
The 13 yr old engineers
The design office (with 6 desks)
The first day we are driven two hours to a nearby
fabrication shop they wish to impress us with.
We are shown around the place by a number of people, two of them young
women that look about 13.
