An interesting sideline is the work I do for Weber Shandwick -- one of the world's leading PR organizations. I get the chance to write original copy and also edit the original ideas of my colleagues here in the the Bangkok office. It's a fairly Pavlovian existence where the trill of my mobile phone alerts me to the latest assignment nestling in my inbox.
Not only is this a great opportunity for me to be serious for a change, it also gives me a great insight into the corporate mindset: fascinating at this decidedly stormy point in history. Current accounts include General Motors, Wall's Ice Cream, Goodyear Tyres, the Gemological Institute of America and National Geographic Channel to name a few - definitely an eclectic bunch - but, as they say, variety is the spice of life :)
