Phil - London, Moscow, Gent

A solid week of travel.

Tuesday and Wednesday, I was in London for an industry conference where I was giving a presentation on projects and results from last year. The best part about this was catching up with a friend from a recent course that I went on, and having a great chat over pizzas and wine. 

Wednesday afternoon I flew to Moscow, where I had organised a conference for 450 specialists. This was hard yakka.  I think I have learned my lesson, and won't organise anything in Russia for a while! Visa problems, customs problems, safety & security, and Moscow traffic. We managed it, and everyone seemed happy! 

Home on Sunday night, then out on Monday morning to Gent, in Belgium, to lecture at the Business school. This was my first visit to the city, and they have kept all the historic facades and it is a very beautiful place! The town centre is not very big and can be walked in less than a couple of hours. 

Finally back home and no travel for the next few weeks (as Alexander says, "Yippee!")
