Flying…

Friday, October 31st, 2008

The flight from Toronto to new York would be short one. Just about an hour. Unless air control decides to put your flight on hold 50 miles north of the airport for another hour. Here is a picture for you from Toronto (more to come)

Gaucho in London (Argentine steakhouse)

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

As already mentioned, I had my parents and my sister visiting me in London during my stay there last week. On the first night after they’ve arrived, we went to a Gaucho which is a steakhouse chain in London. I’ve been to a couple of steakhouses in the states already and my expectations were pretty high and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed. We have been to a brand new location in Smithfield since it was the closest one to our apartment. It was their opening night there and it was quite packed for a Wednesday night. Ambiance, Service, Food and wine were excellent. You also get to see the raw versions of the steaks you get to chose from (Rump, Sirloin, Fillet or Rib eye). All the meat is Argentinian beef and the walls and seats are covered with real cow skin ;) . Highly recommended!!!

Am I gonna miss it?

How much will I miss this nice rainy mornings in Dublin where you don’t have to shower and wash your clothes since you will be completely soaked anyways once you get into the office?

The answer is: 4 more days ;)

It’s a small world

Thursday, October 9th, 2008

Yesterday I met someone at the client here in Dublin which is currently visiting from their Munich office. After we were introduced in English, I figured we can talk in German to each other and then we found out that he was born in the same town as I was. It is a small world.

Intrepid is back

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

After a two year refurbishment project in Staten Island the second world war aircraft carrier ‘Intrepid‘ which is now a museum found his way back to pier 86. The museum there will open again on the weekend of Nov 8th. Here are some pictures taken from our office. The quality is not that great as I’ve just used the iPhone.

And there we go again…
