Writing from the airport lounge - my flight is delayed by 1.5 hours ☹

I love airport lounges of developing cities - HCM, BKK airport lounges are another level from places like new york, japan, korea... there's just something about the state of the world whereby developing cities > developed cities when it comes to luxury NGL.

Also! my previous post was minted by the founder of paragraph omg im both excited and embarrassed since this was meant to be a private diary (actually i am undecided on this). Always super impressed by founders who go deep into understanding who their users are, how their users are using their product and what keeps the users coming by.

**Today I'm thankful for ..** uh, bangkok immigration. I overstayed for a day and they let me through. in HCM, i was brought to some dude who extorted money out of me in broad daylight (we literally haggled).
