By the Numbers

With 2,000 dollars on hand, the project's objective was to start a business in an unfamiliar territory; a first for me.

2 months - project timeline
45 days - sleepless nights
2 - ghosts appeared before me
4 - female thai friends
5 - western friends
13 - possible partners connected with
9 - uninterested distributors
25 - retail shops presented
5 - dfferent rooms rented
2 times - I have been in Bangkok
3 times - I nearly vomitted from spicy foods
1 - interested possible partner
18 filipino - comrades openly supporting me
1 hour - longest ride on a motorbike for the first time
9 contacts - untapped
7 hours - total plane ride
48 hours - total bus ride

My time has already expired. Is it worth doing it over again?
Yes! …but its time to pass the baton as my time is up.
