Going back to business trip

It’s been over 2 years and something that I didnt get on a plane for a business trip, trying to figure out what to fit in my small suitcase that will be appropriate for the management meeting I was going to.

Packing a small suitcase is normally a challenge, but when you have lost the habit it can be even more difficult.

These last 3 days have been great.  I love travelling, going to an airport and walking around in a city that is not my own.  I love the idea of taking some air from those 4 walls in the house… a breather... I think I lost that feeling, but it’s been a great reminder that this is where I’m happy.  Moving around, doing things.

I have been working with these guys for the past 2 years.  Putting real bodies to screen faces starts to feel closer to the “old normal”.  And I like that.  It’s funny, because they are almost exactly as I imagined them.  And I know how awkward it can be to find a common theme to talk about over a dinner, a shared taxi, a drink, a blank space that sometimes needs to be filled in, but it’s fun.    The mingling.

And as I sit down now and have a drink at the airport waiting for my gate to be published, Im also thinking about all the actions that have come out of these 3 days. Gives me a small headache haha.

Heading home to what I know is good, but this feeling of space and air is also.  I hope you are getting some of it too where you are.

Thanks for reading.

Train to Nha Trang

I believe I havent mentioned that our trip was mainly through the vietnamese coast. This was because we didnt want to catch any illness and because we were hunting the beaches ;) After the great days spent in Hoi An, my expectations went higher. But after something that has been really really good "you bleed just to know your alive". Train to Nha Trang Yes, this is the exact picture of how our train looked like. We were in the top of the beds with our bags and with the same last clothes we wore in Hoi An that day. Comments in the "Lonely Planet" guide said that those top beds are "against" thieves. A recomendation if you ever plan to take a train in which you plan to stay for the night, MAKE RESERVATIONS! This was, for me, by far the worst experience of this trip. The smell, the chinese smoking inside the "room" of the wagon, the air conditioner... it was BAD. Nha Trang is a city famous for its scuba diving and a lot of tourists go there to exp

Moving, all the people moving

When I think of the word "moving", a song comes to my mind ( Moving - Macaco). This "green peace" song was thought to be a call to action for all of those who felt some sort of compromise with the environment. Yes, because we all know that the trend initiated a few years from now is to show off our "cruel intentions" to help this cause. Anyway, the reason why this song comes to my mind is that I am in process of moving! And I truly and deeply hate moving. It is like the 2 faces of a coin (Heads or trails). In one side the excitement of going to a new place, having even more independence, choosing your roomates, have a decoration of your taste, new neighbors, etc & in the other side the turn off of picking up everything, boxes, cleaning, stress... Thank God I will be just crossing the street!!! From the 16 to the 15.

Un jour, un "post", une photo: Kapital

Mimi, my flatmate, whose also known as Mylène, had some french friends over at our house. Since Mimi doesn't go out much to places that involve alcohol and "I do", she was counting on me to take her friends out and introduce them to Madrid's nightlife. Where to take them was the BIG question... She wanted to go to a big place with cool music and cool people.. We had 2 options: " Kapital " wich is nearby our house has 7 floors + different music on each floor or " Pacha " which only features electro music. I think you can guess what we chose. Kapital was crowded. We spent about 1 hour just trying to put our coats in the wardrobe. Don't even get me started on how long it took us to order one drink! First we chose to go to the "latin music floor" and we spent about 2 hours metting some people and dancing a bit.. Then we went for a tour of the 7th floor which is a terrace. The terrace had a laid-back atmosphere, chillout music and cool se
