No longer a lone traveler

June 29th, 2007 at 3:09pm |

Hoa finally got the paper presentation over with yesterday and we could see places together today. As it happened we have gradually overcome the jet lag and this morning I didn’t wake up until 7 a.m. We set off for Karlsplatz hoping to see the exhibitions inside Wien Museum which was supposedly free every Friday, […]

Vienna the third day and I had to present in the morning. When I got there, there were three guys in the room which understandably were the two presenters and the chair for the session.

There is now at least a 2-hour delay due to some technical problem that Qantas ground staff know nothing about. All we get in return for our […]

It is a very beautiful winter day with the sun coming out.  Despite our unpacked bags for the Europe trip we hit the court for a few tennis strokes. Thang is getting so good at his games that I have no answer to his shots except for crying out loud and begging him for his […]

Europe, here we come

June 24th, 2007 at 9:37am |

It’s a great feeling to leave work behind as we get ready for our Europe trip. This will be the 3rd time for me, and just one of Hoa’s many. We’ve heard plenty of good things about Eastern Europe and it’s now time to experience it for ourselves. And we won’t regret leaving Melbourne’s cold […]
