— You will hear five speakers talking about business trips.— For each recording

The journey should turn out to be worth it. They’re obviously keen to do business with someone, and I just hope it’ll be us. They seemed to like the samples I showed them, and said they thought our terms were fair. Of course actual details would get discussed later, but I’m hopeful they’ll come on board, and it’s a part of the world where we need customers. We’ll have to see.

I’m still not convinced I really needed to fly out - most of what we said could have been done by email or phone. Alter all, it’s basically just a lot of figures, isn’t it? But I guess because it will lead to important changes in our overall plans, it’s better to sit down together and make sure we all agree on how to interpret the data. And some of the findings are really interesting.
