The History of maksdaddy - Education

Two down and Two to go:

The next institution is IHI or the International Hospitality institute which was an american hotel management school affiliated to the institute in America.

located in Bangkok, Thailand I started my first course there just before I turned 18 and covered culinary training and got my first insight to the professionally run kitchen. I was hooked as had always enjoyed cooking and still very much do when i get the chance or the funds to do a nice meal. Trouble is finding worthy people to enjoy my culinary delights.

I had returned to New Zealand to catch up with a few friends and see family over christmas before returning to continue my studies. During this time I made several good friends who loved to party but their idea of a party was to go to an exclusive night club and stand there popping their heads to the early techno of the early 90's and sip on a chivas regal. This might've been nice but I was 18 years old and hitting night clubs where I wouldn't have to spend a single cent and be at the most expensive and most exclusive night club in the entire bangkok area....which is HUGE.
I would be picked up in my friends volve or bmw and taken to Taurus, A night club that housed under one roof, a reception area, a jazz club, a discotec, fine dining restaurant and a sushi bar whcih for a young kid from a country background in NZ was all too taken by it all and it became a regular weekend event for a very long time.
Here I am supposed to talking about the school but really it was the social aspect which got to me as it was such a huge city.
I attended the school for just under one and a half years roughly when as part of the degree had to work 6 months at a hotel. I chose Club Aldiana and German chain much like the French run Club Med. I will cover this in a later blog.
I try to remember what the outlay of the school was, but it was only a small building like an office where I can only make out the study rooms from my memory. i have a bigger memory of the lunch periods which I would walk down the road to buy lunch from a rough tin shack which often it wouldn't be surprising to find a big bug in it considering its location. picture our pieces of corrigated iron held up together and a larger corrigated iron room placed on top in the middle of a filthy dirt patch and you got it. Another memory is having the hottest spiciest food EVER that my face went flushed, my eyes watered and my hearing went. I had run next door to the diary to buy some ice cream that felt like it melted before I got it into my mouth. So it's the more fun times that i remember than anything else
