1st - 2nd September - Trip to London

Posted on 2005/09/02 22:09:42 (September 2005).

This time I went for two days, mostly because it's easier to work this way and I needed a break from Italy a little. Our agents in England are absolutely superb, they are great people (Ros and Valerio) and I really get on well with them, so it was good to spend some quality time going around clients. We have had a nice dinner at their house, played some X-Box with their son (Edo) and had a fairly good business reaction from the new collection. Moreover I managed to do some shopping this time, buying the ever important:

1. JAFFA CAKES
2. BACKED BEANS
3. BASMATHI RICE
4. CURRY PASTE
5. WORCESTERSHIRE SAUCE

All ingredients of the most classic British dishes. (yeah right!).
During the trip back I have met these three Italian guys (2 guys and a gal to be precise). They are freelance journalists for several online and paper videogames magazines, it was great to have someone to talk, plus of course we discussed about computers and VG so I couldn't ask for a better company (after all I AM a VG junkie)!!
Anyways I am now back to Italy, funny how the weather in London has been perfect for two days, I come back to Italy and I am greeted by a massive thunderstorm! Oh well...

Nice! I recently bought baked beans as well - managed to find them in a shop near Chie's house. Not seen Jaffa Cakes here in Japan though...

Did you take any pictures in London?

Ciao John, nice to have you back on my corner! To reply to your question the answer is NO, mostly because I didn't bring any camera with me. It was a shame... Problem is that my camera is too bulky, i need to buy a new one, and it's going to be certainly smaller than this one!!
