The return of the blog ....

I've recently realised that it's been a while since I last scribbled anything here, so I think the time has come for me to start again. Perhaps I should start with a little round up of what's happened since my last post (or perhaps 2007 as a whole).

Location:
Still in Vienna, but I'm not sure for how long. Contractually, I should be here for another year. However, my gut feel is that this office will soon be closed (I reckon this will happen within the next 6 months). Having said this, things appear to be changing on a week by week basis, so my next move still falls into the category of "Watch this space"

Social Life:
I've met many wonderful people while I've lived in Vienna. Although the locals can come across as rather unfriendly, I have managed to make a few local friends. The expats in Vienna, as usual, have been very social and I've been hanging out with quite a few of them over the last year or so. However, like any large group of people, the dynamics of the group have evolved. It's been fun watching this evolution take place from the sidelines.

Love Life:
As usual, the roller coaster which is my love life continues to have it's ups and downs. 2007 brought renewed hope, but it was not to be. The lessons learned include "long distance doesn't work", "who cares what the rest of the world thinks" and "don't try too hard!". Lets see what happens in 2008.

Travel:
Places to which I regularly travelled in 2007 (f0r work) included Berlin, Lugano, Zurich, Bratislava, Timisoara, Derby and Frankfurt. 2008 seems to promise more of the same, with the possible addition of Montenegro, Chisinau and Saabrucken. Holiday destinations in 2007 have included London, Colombo, Dubai, Rome, Sofia, Berlin, Munich and a few others as well.



I'm not sure what else can be added to the above. Here's to 2008 and all the new adventures that it will bring.!
