My first major trip after taking up the job is for The Hague, a lovely medium sized town in Holland, best known for the international tribunal (the one where Miloseviczwas tried). I am not sure how long I’ll stay here, but it looks likely it could be till the end of October.
When I am overseas I am still entitled to a fly back to London during the weekends. But really, that is exchangeable for anything else, as long as it is cheaper than the flight to London. And that’s what I did yesterday. I took the train to Paris to see my friend Kais and enjoy the Parisian night life. Intensive impromptu travelling is not as much of a pain as I thought it would be, technology (email, roaming mobiles, internet banking…) is constantly making it easier to not miss out too much on your everyday life, although it is also likely to render traveling obsolete: why travel when you can teleconference, or use a VPN? The technology is there, but the mentality isn’t.
Anyway, I am now off to the Cabaret…
Hey Emir,
Congrats on the new gig, and finishing the exams! Good lord, doesn’t time fly… Talented, qualified, and rolling in cash, who could resist
Going well here in Dublin, back in London I hope mid Nov, let’s definitely catch up.
More as it develops… Paul
Hi Emir,
Glad to learn that you manage quite well with your life after your Montreal adventure… I was planning a trip to France (my 3rd) next spring and this last entry on your Blog about a trip to Paris (Nice blog by the way), just gave me the idea that we could meet and have a drink for good all time…
I might even help you increase your spiritial score a couple of points (One can always hope
)
See ya
