Photos from Thailand
I had another chance to visit this beautiful country and to visit the guys in the office whom I communicate with by email every day. It was nice to take a holiday in what is still a very affordable country for travelling and to just relax in the beach resort and do nothing. No running … Continue reading
Thai hospitality
I’m unable to blog or upload to flickr due to my slow internet connection but I have managed to upload a few pics to Facebook. So I’ll have to wait till I get back to post a summary of my trip. Been taken out almost every night by Thai friends and they’ve made my first … Continue reading
Off to Thailand
My Polo GTi has been running superbly the last couple of weeks. Really pleased with that purchase and it’s very fun to drive. Now I can actually overtake other cars! The fuel economy is pretty good too. One tank of fuel has lasted me 2 weeks worth of commuting. That’s over 40 mpg when I … Continue reading
Got the flu?
This swine flu thing seems to be quite serious. I just got sent a huge document about infectious diseases contingency plan from my Japanese employer and 4 (albeit the same) emails from the British Embassy in Japan! Good to know there is a “plan”.
Bits and bobs
Time for a random summary of bits and bobs since my last post: Been on a week long business trip in Amsterdam (again). Probably be back there nearer Christmas time to complete this final project. Will probably be working in Tokyo from March 2008 to 2009. It’ll be a big change for me, but to … Continue reading
Amsterdam
So back from Amsterdam last week (finally!). It’s nice to travel on business, staying in hotels, working and dining with customers and the chance to explore a different city. But there’s nothing like sleeping in your own bed (even though I still sleep in a bunk bed), eating home cooked meals (mmmmm) and being able … Continue reading
Another one!
It seems the guys upstairs from my office have some sort of competition going on. Who can bring in the best most expensive beastiest of cars: Seems like someone has a Porsche Carrera GT – priced at more than a quarter of a million pounds. And how good does it look? Here’s some other expensive … Continue reading
Lunar eclipse
Look out your window!! You might be able to see a faint redish moon (depending on when you read this post). Call me a nerd if you must, but hey, astromony’s one many areas of physics I like. I just wish I had some hardcore lenses and a decent dSLR. Here are my amateur snaps:
Beginners’ German
I’ve been working for about half a year now but I thought I’d remain a part-time student. That’s why I’ve enrolled on the Open University’s course Rundblick – beginners’ German. When I get home from work these days, I don’t really have much to do (except watch TV and surf the net) so learning a … Continue reading
