Business trip to Oceania

Posted on 2011/05/22 07:41:15 (May 2011).

[19/20th May 2011]

And so it's really finished, the longest trip of my life, in terms of flight time, is finished and I am writing sitting quite uncomfortably at 10000 meters above the Northern Coast of Australia on a Thai Airways (mental note to myself: never book Thai Airways Business Class anymore, on this flight it has been quite shite).

the trip is over, as usual it seems yesterday that I landed in Auckland, all jet lagged but curious to see what the fifth continents had to offer.

Well I must say that it was a great experience, especially Australia was a place that I really liked thanks also to the clients that are all a bunch of young people so it was great to hang around with them not just for the business side of things.

What has this trip left me? More experience I guess, more consciousness of what I did in these 36 years and how much it's worth it. I do realize that in order to relate to my country fellow-man I have been playing down a lot the things I did. It's crazy, getting other people that never met before getting surprised at "the amount of things that you did, but how old are you?"… Actually it's not crazy, it's actually a very good thing, it has been a long time since I felt like that.

People look at me as a threat sometimes, I can understand it, at least in Italy it's a feeling that I get, abroad it seems that the mind is a little bit more open, although I might be mistaken… In any case I do not care, the trip was great, I feel different and I do not know yet in what, I have seen the 'roos (kangaroos), I have watched AFL matches, I have seen Melbourne and Sydney, the Hunters Valley all great places that I will bring for all my life in my heart…

At the moment only in MY heart, but I am working on the other one to share life and experiences with!

In any case, here are the pictures, they speak better than me rambling around…

Enjoy

Great to see those photos, Lox!! Excellent!

I know they don't show all the hard work you must have had to put in down there... I hope it boosts business.

Glad to get a hint that maybe the old love-life might be improving! ;-)
