.. a difference in culture ....

Imagine this: put into one room a diversity of people: Japanese, American, French, Italian, English and to top it off a crazy Belgian :-0 .... result: quite an experience. Just had my first global meeting at the new job and i had the be the master of ceremony. With this diversity you can imagine it was a big challenge to keep the meeting into the right time and mindframe. But we managed .... especially with the help of the some more experienced people in the meeting. Bob helped me out very nice and was trying with me to steer the meeting in a very gentle but firm way in the right direction .... tomorrow we are off at 5.45 to the circuit to Le Mans to see the MotoGP race. It is going to be so thrilling to see th bikes and the riders with super dooper VIP passes :-) ...

but i just realized i've been away all week long and and i haven't heard the kids and or hardly any of my family. Sitting here in my hotel room after a very long week it sneaks up on you how important small things can be in life .... i wished i had more time to spend with them and for me and my girlfriend to think about the future ....

but fours days of holiday are just around the corner .. i'm lookign forward to some time with all of them and just come to the senses .....

happy travels
