are you being served?

it has been a while since i was on a business trip. not that i like to go on one but there are certain aspects of it that i like:

1. stay in nice hotels
2. eat good food & drink the finest wines
3. i use the time during the flight to catch up on my reading

last week, i had to go to jakarta for a somewhat last minute meeting. i was reluctant to go on this trip but had to. but you know what it is like when you expect the worst but things actually got better.

first, my room was upgraded from an executive room to a suite at the hotel because the executive floors are all fully booked. sweet!!! had the opportunity to enjoy free cheese and wine at the executive lounge! breakfast was fantastic!! meeting went well. so my reluctance was like a blessing in disguise.

i tell you, business travel will definitely spoil you. once you start traveling on business class and stay in 5-star hotels, your standards would be raised. you always want things with certain class for your travels and holidays. traveling on economy will be such a drag and staying at a tiny hotel room for your holidays are just crap because you will not be getting the service that you would in business class or 5-star hotel.

it is about time that i get a job that pays me more money – much, much more money – so that i can start to travel in style & class for my personal trips. ;-)
