Everywhere and nowhere

Moscow-Brussels-London-Brussels-Leiden-grand tour through Holland-Brussels-grand tour through Holland part II-Brussels-London-Coventry-Brussels-Moscow. All this within the space of a good month, hence the title of this post. Don't get me wrong, I've been having a great time. It's just that sometimes I stop and ask myself: what am I doing? As great as it is to catch up with 'old' friends, there's always the goodbye and not knowing when you will see the next.

But anyway, before the reader starts to think I am feeling sorry for myself I should turn to the fun part of all this travelling. Went to Holland on Friday the 12th and spent the weekend in Leiden, meeting up with friends from uni. Was great to meet up with them all and hear how they were all doing. Spent Monday and Tuesday in Amsterdam and then met up with Jeroen (my boss) on Wednesday. We went to various meetings with clients, governmental institutions and met people of companies with which Lighthouse is working on certain projects. It was very interesting and useful to see how these meetings go. Jeroen did most of the talking, but he left me plenty of space to give input which was great. Went back to Belgium for the weekend and was on the road again from Monday till Wednesday.

Am having a bit of trouble juggling different balls in the air at the moment: work, getting ready for Graduation, sorting out my visa for Russia, etc. I haven't had the time to get really excited about Graduation, but I am sure it is going to be great! Then after that back to Russia, where the winter seems to have finally set in with temperatures between -5 and -12 and snow!

I'm back!

I finally managed to figure out why I could not access my blog. Seems I had two accounts running at blogger.com and kept on accessing the one that was empty. Oh well, back now.

First of all, I wish all my readers (yeah, that's you Agust) a belated happy New Year! Hope all your wishes come true.

As for me, I flew back to Brussels just before Christmas. I was lucky to be on the flight as apparently it had been overbooked. After some convincing (read shouting at the incompetent guy at check-in in a mix of Russian and English), I managed to land the last seat available.

Spent a quiet Christmas with my parents and sister and took the Eurostar to London on the 28th to celebrate New Year with the Warwick bunch living in or near London. Was good to catch up with them all.

Now back in Brussels waiting for my visa to come through. Will fly back to Moscow after graduation. Hope winter has started there by then, cause am getting slightly upset about the poor excuse of a winter we have here in Belgium (rain and 10-15 degrees).

Coming soon, posts about my birthday and my trip to the Russian countryside!
