Evergreen Seminar

After a week-full conference in Indonesia and a day in office, I rushed off for an in-house seminar in Kanchanaburi (the town of world renowned River Kwai Bridge). Despite the tight schedule, me and several friends managed to sneak out and befreinded the hotel receptionist who took us on a golf cart ride to admire the beauty of the place.
