Urlaub!!!

I had a neat little trip to England, I must say. I went to visit my old friend Matt in Coventry, which was absolutely lovely. Particularly our Sunday trip to the Cotswalds was grand!!! it is this gorgeous traditionally english-looking area. Simply stunning! For some photos, see facebook.

I then continued on to Canterbury for a conference. Conflict and Complexity. Let's put it this way: it was very, uhm, interdisciplinary. I turned out to be one of only two economists, and for the rest there was a total mishmash of random people. Varying from self-declared spies and linguists looking for expressions of empathy to people working with UK Airforce space as art objects and complexity theorists (don't ask me what complexity theory is. I have been trying to find out, but without success...). All in all, it was actually a very enjoyable and interesting conference.

On Wednesday I returned and enjoyed two days of rather stressful work (dont get me started, there are all these projects that seem to be running at the same time but not in the same direction). And now it is HOLIDAY!

We will fly to Roma tomorrow, and enjoy two days there. Then we rent a car and visit Umbria. On Friday we fly to Sardegna for a party weekend with friends and we finish off with one day of Milano! I cannot wait!!!

We will be back in 10 days!

Tschuessi,
