Tim Cook went to the temple, praising Southeast Asian cuisine
The Apple CEO has visited Japan, Singapore and Thailand in recent days and explored the cultures of these countries.
Tim Cook's Asia tour begins on December 8 with the first set foot in Japan.
In Tokyo, Apple CEO met the world's oldest iPhone developer. Masako Wakamiya, now 84 years old, started putting the application on the App Store in 2017. Her application called "hinadan" is a simple game aimed at the elderly.
On this occasion, Tim Cook had the opportunity to work directly with his partners in Japan - Seiko Advance is one of them. Seiko Advance is responsible for creating colors on iPhone 11 Pro.
Naturally, Tim Cook did not forget to interact with Apple employees in Japan. Japan is one of Apple's largest markets.
The visit of the Apple CEO gained more attention when he left Japan for Southeast Asia. The first country that Tim Cook came to was Singapore. He was at the Tiong Bahru market for breakfast and complimented the country's cuisine.
Like Japan, Tim Cook later met some programmers in Singapore. These developers are developing games for Apple Arcade - a paid game platform that Apple has launched in the past few months.
Singapore Air CEO Goh Choon Phong and Captain Raj invited Tim Cook to the cockpit and shared how the iPad helped the crew during flight.
Tim Cook then left Singapore to come to Thailand. Dubbed the "golden temple country", the Apple CEO visited Wat Arun temple, built from the 17th century on the banks of the Chao Phraya River.
Tim Cook interacted with the Thai women's volleyball team, the girls who won the gold medal in the SEA Games 30 a few days ago. "Congratulations to the Thai women's volleyball team for winning the gold medal at # SeaGames2019. It was great to meet coach Danai, @ nootsara13, @malikaboth and the rest of the team and know how they use Apple Watch and iPad in training. Fighting and good luck to the Olympic qualifiers. " - Tim Cook wrote on Twitter.
Thailand currently has only one Apple Store at Iconsiam, so Tim Cook cannot ignore this place when he has the opportunity to come here.
At the end of his visit to Thailand, Tim Cook dined with the CEO of "Wongnai" - a service similar to Thailand's Thailand and two food bloggers. The restaurant that Tim Cook visited was Raan Jay Fai, one of the three street food stalls in Thailand that earned stars from Michellin. On Twitter, Tim Cook said the restaurant's reputation is not wrong, as the crab egg rolls are great.
