Job direction: travel opportunities

This isn't exactly a secret since I have gushed it out to several people.

From July to September, it is likely that I will get to travel to Vietnam and Hongkong with my small boss to sync the region's ERP (SAP). I have long suspected that my role will be as a travelling Abaper (programmer).

Initially torn between going and staying, I finally decided I want to have the travel exposure. However, with the entrance of our new member, I fear that he'll get precedence over me as this company seem to favour those that hail from their home country.

Last week, Shijie updated me that I might be travelling to do some implementation on behalf of her division. This sounded strange to me. Then *today*, I got my answer.

On my new colleague's desk, was a book titled, "Easy ABAP". That explained it. I *am* going to be a travelling programmer.

Later, I learnt from Shijie that he has programming experience in Finance and HR modules, but not in Sales and Materials. Ah... a bit double standards(n1) in hiring their own countrymen, it seems. Oh well, who cares. What is important is that he is willing to work as a team. Time would tell.

note:
n1 - we are the logistics team, who deal in sales and materials
