Unexpected Surprise
I was riding in a taxi on my way to meet my friend from brunch at Turf City when i turn to my left and realize that i'm staring at a BRAND NEW Nissan GT-R. I ensured that the taxi driver followed the car for a few blocks until the GT-R zoomed away. A very beautiful and powerful car. More info can be found at http://www.gtrnissan.com/

May 11 - flew into Bangkok and checked into our modern, clean, and phenomenal hostel (www.lubd.com), sudeep got sick and had to take medicine and pass out in bed all night, shibu walked around bangkok and went to a night market and a bar, shibu came home to find sudeep awake after a 5 hour nap and feelign much better so sudeep went out alone to do the same thing shibu did but go lost trying to find patpong.
May 13 - woke up super early to go to the tailor for a fitting
May 14 - Woke up super late for our 730am flight and somehow they let us on the flight. Had an awesome flight via Bangkok Airlines to Siem Reap (Had a meal even though the flight was 45 mins), left our bags with the front desk and went straight our with our guide to the Byon Temple and Ankor Wat and other surrounding temples. ate at a very nice restaurant (4 course meal) with traditional cambodian royal cuisine. came home and swam in our beautiful resort (day inn ankor resort) pool and got read for dinner. went and watched traditional cambodian dance during dinner. became friends with the waiters and they invited us out to go clubbing. went back to the hotel to get ready and got 1 hour oil massages. jumped on the waiters' motorcycles and went dancing til late IN CAMBODIA.
May 15 - Breakfast at Day Inn Resort, Went to Prat Prong (spelling wrong) and the temple built for the mother of King Jayavaraman VII and several other amazing temples and jumped on a plane to Hanoi (vietnam)...flight was canceled so we had to go 2 hours later.

why the singapore office rocks...
because they have bottled water. unfortunately, Microsoft HQ in Redmond hasn't gotten the clue to provide bottled water so i'm stuck to drinking random other soft drinks. In Singapore I can drink as much water as my heart desires. this is HUGE so i can ensure proper hydration post-workouts and speed muscle recovery by flushing out all that lactic acid! I love Singapore!
