copenhagen

after a period of relative blogging inactivity, i am back with some images from the 3-day trip to copenhagen. i have to thank matt and diego for the suggestions of where to go and what to do, cause it turns out that in 3 days you can only do so much in such a city, and especially when the weather is cold enough not to be helping you out.

anyway copenhagen is beautiful. i had only been on the airport on transit in the past (on the way to the legenday ipm2003 in talinn) and decided i have to properly set foot on this country after this long while. it looks a bit like stockholm in its architecture, the canals and the people give a certain amsterdamish feel to the city (though the danes are more beautiful people than the dutch, i have to say :-) and everything works as efficiently as in germany (i.e. public transport). the cafes and bars are all very different to each other and put certain effort to look different and offer an original environment, more like the coffee experience in greece (without the weather). it's also a fun city with plenty to do at night and during the day - though a bit pricy at times ...

pity i couldn't see different parts of the country, but this three day break was enough to freshen up and see what i think is a beautiful and interesting city! recommended experience!

a picture is worth a thousand words

i have been back to london from greece for a week now but still haven't adjusted...anyway i can't really describe the great time i had for 4 days in lamia and athens. lots of family and friends time, minimal sleep, going out till 6 am every night, traditional food and drinks, great conversations, trying out some new things (like horse riding - i am the guy on the right) and participating in the same old easter celebrations that have been imprinted on my mind since i was a kid. now have to move on and plan my next trips as china is only 3 weeks away and still not finalised!

below are also photos of meeting agnes' s beautiful baby :-) and jenny (mcp china 02-03) after 4 years!

καλημέρα

hola a todos!

i am writing my news in headlines since i have to rush to work:
- i am still alive
- i got my visa to china! and that's about the only part of the trip i have planned aalong with the tickets and the holidays from work
- i am going to greece on friday for 4 days (woohoo!)
- i am working like a dog these days - feels like i have to earn these holidays this week. with a record 8am to 10pm at the office, the scene just reminded me of how everyday reality is bound to look like, come september
- i am reading the secret history (donna tartt) and am completely drawn into it for some reason
- my insomnia is back! (how cool)

and now i'm off :-) see you all offline and online!
