The Worst Part of International Business Travel Is...

...filling out the expense reports...trying to make sense of 3 weeks worth of receipts when most are in various foreign currencies and not in English.  The Chinese receipts are the most problematic.  The name of the merchant and what you purchased are all in Chinese characters.  At best,  the date, time and amount paid are your only clues.

"Hmmm.  June 6th at 1:30 AM.  Was that the after-the-bar foot massage I bought for my customer or that steaming bowl of duck tongues with mushrooms in Suzhou?"

Sure, I could diligently make notes on each receipt at the time of purchase, but that would require a level of discipline I simply don't possess.
