My First Business Trip

hey people, i would be in america from tomorrow onwards. so, no more blogging when i’m there! i probably wouldn’t have any free time for leisure stuff like sightseeing and photo-taking as this is a business trip. damn! i’ve been waiting to say that phrase for ages! it sounds so… grown up.

many thanks to my kind boss burak for giving me this awesome opportunity! i hope to make you proud.

i haven’t been away since that trip to bali back in may. this is going to sound pretty sad and weird, but simply watching planes take off at the airport or gazing out at the ships at sea gets me all thoughtful and teary-eyed sometimes. i can’t even explain it. just the idea of going away, even if it is for work, gives me a feeling of emancipation that i so crave for but haven’t felt for a long time. it really cheers me up a lot.

the constant wanting to be free is the reason why all this while, i still prefer taking trips alone. for this business trip i wouldn’t be going solo, which i don’t mind at all. having said that, i’m still proud to be a lone female traveler. i have taken numerous solo trips abroad but none of them trumps that trip to bangkok back in december 2004. that was one experience i would never forget! argh, just reading those blog entries gets me all hot and bothered. it’s been two years… seems like forever.

perhaps it’s time to start planning for a real solo trip, when i return of course.

be back soon.
