The NESA conference is 5-8 April. We departed home on Wednesday afternoon for an overnight flight to Bangkok, no problem. But the 4-hour timezone difference is difficult, so we allowed this extra day of recovery. I must also make some final preparations to my presentation, due to be delivered on the very last session, on Monday. Bangkok is hot and steamy and friendly and crowded. We wandered from the Bossotel to the conference venue at the Sheraton, got lost on a side road to an old ramshackle customs house where the local fire department parks their trucks. We gave up and hired a tuk-tuk to drive us the few blocks remaining. There we met other colleagues also just arriving, and I checked the venue for my presentation (a very large room!). I re-activated my local phone chip, so we have local mobile phone service at (08)5042-6267 for a month. Also visited a local tailor to get some nice teaching clothes before the presentation and before our trip to Seoul next week. Bangkok
