I think I've invented a new concept: extreme working. The idea is similar to extreme ironing (check out www.extremeironing.com), which works along the idea of combining high thrills with the satisfaction of a well pressed shirt. My idea of extreme working combines exotic locations with the satisfaction of a job well done.
Having done a couple of work-related emails in Kuching, Borneo and Pattaya, Thailand, as well as a full month of hard-core work in Chiang Mai, I decided to push the envelope a little and try out the Aleenta beach resort (Also in Thailand). Absolutely lovely and the first time I've stayed in a "boutique" hotel. Possibly the last, too, unless someone decides to give me a major salary increase :-( While the hotel had a nice, fast internet connection, their "total relaxation" policy meant they banned phones, tvs and alarm clocks at the resort. I had to hide inside when I needed to take phone calls, and my mobile phone bill is going to be really nasty!
