Looks that I have had another long pause between updates. There has not been so many interesting things going on in my life. I traveled a bit, boosted my working style, set some goals for my sports and started planning the end of this year.
The traveling part contained few visits to close by cities. I visited my friend in Amsterdam. We had a nice peaceful weekend with at least 1 interesting experience: Ethiopian food! That was really interesting. Quite good tasting with extremely strange pancake type of things. All other parts of that visit were quite basic. Sauna, Beer and talk :D
Other destination I visited was Essen. Compared to Düsseldorf a bit smaller place but the style of the city from architecture point of view completely different that created the feeling of busy little place. Essen is a university town so it has quite a bit more active environment than we have here with lots of young people around the place. Something I'm missing here.
I also visited Helsinki around a week ago. It was truly wonderful to go to our office and meet my colleagues whom I have not seen since January. The attitude of working was quite different compared to german way. People really solving problems fast without too many calls to get approvals etc
Differences between cultures, working methods, foods and so forth are usually really interesting. Most of the time it opens up eyes on different approaches
