New Year, New Assignment, New Locales

Welcome 2009! This year promises to hold quite a bit of new travel experiences. With my role working with our global accounts is gone, my new role is to develop business plans for us to enter into what we have as emerging markets. Emerging to us, in this case, means starting to develop to the point that they can use the type of enterprise-level software we sell. So with that thought, my focus, in this order, is on:




Brazil
Carnivale anyone!! Whoo Hoo! Lookout Sao Paulo!!

NEW HARD ROCK OPP!!







Japan
I loooove Tokyo! Sushi, Shabu Shabu, feeling tall, and so much more. I really got the movie "Lost in Translation" because it has soo been my Japan experience. Well, except for that whole meeting Scarlett Johansen! Maybe on this trip!



Russia
Da! The only issue here is Moscow in February?!?! Please pass the vodka - and the space heaters!! And maybe I can pick up my mail order bride in person - kind of like how you can pick up your Volvo or BMW right from the factory!

NEW HARD ROCK OPP!


China
A return to Beijing - or Shanghai. Not sure which. I am hoping Beijing I really liked that city a lot more.

I can actually see this Hard Rock as it was under construction when I was there before.






Korea
A little bit of Seoul goes a long way. Not wild about going back but it isn't all that bad.




Poland
Warsaw! I was there for less than 24 hours before. One thing I noticed is that Polish women are faaaaaarrrrrr hotter than I ever expected them to be! Can't wait to go back as a single guy!!

Another New Hard Rock Opp!!




Czech Republic
Prague, I am assuming. Never been and looking VERY forward to it! Hopefully I can get extra days off and see the sights. I have heard so much about the place.






Hungary
Beats me as to what city, but definitely looking forward to this. Maybe I can check out the Ghoulash.
