And from Sweden...?

And probably you are all expecting my 'report' from Sweden ;-)

I'm sitting in a 'sidewalk internet café' at the central station in Gothenburg at the momemnt. The sun's shining so nicely I had good time strolling along the canal and took some 'not so nice' pictures. What can I say, I'm not in the mood of taking pictures. I'm supposed to be in meetings but my programme has been changing all the time and it gave me some headache and confusion. None of my friends in town is available, of course, I already told them that I would be busy today. I took the tram and went around town sight seeing. A lovely town any way.

How I miss Stockholm (though I like Gothenburg, too). I have had a very heavy week in the middle of the cold (including two days of light snows!) and besides the very interesting and hectic program I managed to meet with lots of friends - a few hours each ;-) But Stockholm is very beautiful. I've been there several times and even now (and even when the weather was not really nice) I'm still fascinated by some parts of the city. And the book stores, and the home decoration stores, and the souvenir shops ;-)

Now I believe what they said in our meeting last week: a great programme is worth more than a plane ticket. I want both of them ;-)

Ok hopefully my next meeting in 1 hour will take place as planned.

I still have a lot to write, I'll check my notebook later. This stop at the internet café was just unplanned: I was tired of walking in the sun (o-ho! now I love the cold weather!), just checked my luggage at the central station and spotted this sidewalk internet café.

My boss just sent me sms reminding that a few busy weeks are waiting for me in Jakarta after my arrival. I'm tired, but I'm looking forward to having these few busy weeks...

Cheers!

time to say something

I think everybody is expecting from me to write something about my recent trip to Indonesia. :) And I'm so bad in writing... And I go sick right after the arrival (well, it's winter here) and have just started my new job. I'm not a good writer anyway. Well, that's not an excuse... :)
