We’re off to the airport for our long trip back. The next update will probably come from the US once we land at LAX. Let’s hope that the trip back is not as problematic as the trip out here was!

They’re custom made per your measurements, and from what I hear they’re well made out of cashmere. If I wore a suit more then once every 3 years I might be more tempted.

Almost 6 months of work all came to an end this week as the convention came to a close. And to celebrate everything going well we all went out to a roof top bar overlooking the river and Bangkok, and then out to dinner after that. Had I known how awesome the view was going […]
