Next stop… Mexico

Hi there!
It’s been a while since my last blog entry, and it has been mostly due to some rushing time in both my professional and personal life
As you may have notice from the widget on the right, I’m in Mexico right now. Yep, that’s right, it’s quite far away from my current residence, Singapore (actually its 16607.01km to be exact), with 13h time difference (when it’s 8am here in Mexico it’s 9pm back in Singapore, 3pm in Madrid/Paris).
I’ve been sent here for a business trip, doing some client support and meetings. I’ll be staying here for 2 months and a half, followed by some time off in USA.
The trip to here has been veeery long, but as I was travelling in business class (first time ever!), the trip was quite good actually: at least I had a very good seat (enough space for my long legs, and we could switch the inclination to a 180degrees, woot!), nice food, and the service was excellent (the stewards even knew my name).
It’s very weird: I left Singapore the 1st June at 940am and I arrived to Los Angeles at 11 something of the same day. Weird right? First think that surprised me about LA is the fact that I could hear Spanish nearly everywhere. Apparently it’s the influence of the Latinos over there, a lot of immigration. Spent most of my time in the Mexicana lounge, mostly sleeping and checking emails.
I cannot say the same thing for the flight from Los Angeles to Mexico with Mexicana than the one from SQ: crappy flight but I was so tired by then that I spent most of the time sleeping.
I reached Mexico around 1130pm, waited for ages for the luggage and once I finally went out, managed to meet the person that was picking me up. We reached the hotel quite late, maybe around 1am, where I meet Varun, one of my colleagues.
Since then the days have been quite similar, spending most of the day at the office, working, and then having all of us diner at some various restaurants. I’m still quite jetlagged, so having some trouble sleeping at the correct hours.
Here are some photos taken during the flight and also some photos of my hotel room (although I might change, as I don’t have a working desk in the current room, hence it’s a bit tedious and uncomfortable to work…

Stay tuned for the next blog entries!
