Back from Hamburg

I can't believe that I went to Hamburg the 2nd time within half a year gap for another exhibition. I would not go (or have the opportunity to go) if it was not sponsored by our cable supplier. Overall, out of the 10 halls featured, we felt that it's only 1 hall worth of related products related to our marine supply industry. The rest are either shipbuilding, motors, valves, high technology communications, marine paint, etc.

This time round, we took the initiative to talk to the suppliers and checking out if there is any business opportunities. Overall, the goods ones either have a stable agent in Singapore (which is our competitor) or we're already representing them. I can say it's not that fantastic but still an eye opener to see so many different countries come together to showcase their products.

During the evenings, we ventured round hamburg by foot and I took alot of pictures (can see from the subsequent slideshows). Thank God I survived the 12 hour flight back to Singapore!
