Thailand

So I wrote a post yesterday.  But I don't see it on here. I don't get it.  Hopefully this one comes through Ok.

So today we had business visits with the American Chamber of Commerce, NuSkin, and the manufacturer they use whose name I've already forgotten. Then we had dinner with a group of the chamber of commerce members.   I got home, washed laundry by hand in the tub, hit the pool for a few and am winding down before going to bed.  We leave in about 7 hrs. to go hang out with elephants and tigers tomorrow.  It promises to be incredible so long as the tiger doesn't bite my head off - literally!

Highlights from today:  the American Chamber of Commerce exists in most developed(ing) countries and is more/less a hub connecting business leaders with professionals. For example, a US-based company wants to open manufacturing operations here in Bangkok, but doesn't know the legal/political climate.  They can reach out to the "AmCham" as it's nicknamed and get connected with lawyers/consultants/etc. who have that specialty.  They also do some lobbying in the U.S. (D.C.) fighting for things such as better free trade agreements, etc.   The President of Thailand's chapter is a BYU alumni.

I'd tell you about the business visits but they probably would just bore you.  Mom, I think you should look into NuSkin.  If you can do jewelry, I think there's a good chance you could do NuSkin.  And I think they really have good products - which is the key to any 'direct selling' companies success.  It's right up your ally with natural cures.

Ok...rather than try to invent things to talk about I think I will just post some pictures on here and/or Facebook.

Cheers!

Jeff
