"Jet-setter"

One of the reasons I studied international management was the "lure" of international business travel. Jet-setting around the world, visiting exotic places, eating strange foods, meeting new and interesting people....

Below are a few pictures of me "jet-setting" on a recent trip to the UK. When business was done and we weren't driving between the 4 corners of England, we did find some time to do some sightseeing.

This is a picture of Stonehenge.




Unfortunately, it had closed just as we arrived. 5,000 years of history, 5,000 miles of travel and we missed it by 5 minutes.


Fortunately, we discovered the lesser-known Woodhenge, which is just around the corner.


Unlike Stonehenge, Woodhenge does not close and is open to visitors at all hours. Also unlike Stonehenge, Woodhenge was made of wood instead of stone, so there's nothing left except some concrete stumps that were put in place to represent where the wood would have been.


If you don't believe me....



This is a picture of Siruay, our Sr. Quality Engineer in Korat, and Silv, the Sr. Quality Inspector for one of our customers. She was rejecting everything and was the main reason we made the trip to England.



Exotic places, interesting people, and finally some strange foods. When in Chippenham, I highly recommend the Shepherd's Pie at the Jolly Huntsman.
