I was lucky enough to be sent by my company to Copenhagen and England in September 2006. I have always dreamt of travelling for work. Not only do you get to visit cool places, but someone else gets to pay for it. You also get to fly business class. Now, I do not know how I can ever fly economy again.
It was tough though. It was certainly not a complete holiday. We were there preparing for the implementation of our project. Hours were long and one entire weekend was spent working. Luckily enough, I still had some time to catch up with friends.
I spent one weekend shopping in London with my officemate Shane, and also catching up with Jenni, Julie and Will. I worked on a project with Jenni and Julie in Perth in May to December 2005. We used to go drinking every Friday, together with Julie's husband Will. There was not much else to do in Perth, but drink. It was that quiet. When we all went our merry ways that December, we vowed to get together again in the future. Julie and Will were already heading to London in the new year. Isn't it surreal then, that there we were together on that London night?
I also visited good friends, Colin and Patrick, who have retired to the English country town of Ludlow. Ooops, they do not like me using the R word! Let us change that to "settled". Ludlow is beautiful. We had lunch at a wonderful Michelin starred restaurant called "Hibiscus". One of the best meals I have ever had.
