sardines
Back from Brussels, and this time travelling was much smoother. Except for the ride with the tube yesterday…Fully loaded with tie and suit and everything you need to look boring and professional I ended up in the metro, standing somewhere below Brussels, for good 15 min, packed like a sardine with other sardines. Which is fun for the first 2 min, but after this initial “hohoho…we are trapped in the metro…great…I have my next post ” thought your forehead gets sweaty, your fellow human beings loose their attractiveness and you just want to get out. Finally, we were moving again down there in the underground and the sardines were liberated to administer Europe…
The flight was rather short, as I fell asleep immediately once I sat down, and only the final “thank you for choosing Swiss” made me wake up. Protesting silently: I never chose Swiss for this flight, as I have no choice.
For my US flight I had the choice and I guess this is the reason why I end up paying less for travelling there. Thus, this is the good news of today: The sun is shining, the weekend is approaching and I will fly to the US (NY and LA) end of April.

Traveling (except on public transportation in Sweden and in Brussels it seems) when it’s yor own choise is fun and an adventure, otherwise it’s just a way to get from one point to another.
Fly to the US of A… now I have to go and munch on my box of handmade de lux Valentine chocolates… I wanna go to LA too (and north of CA) to meet all my perfumery friends IRL…But I just have to bear it and make do with southern France in May;-P

Oh, again France? How wonderful. Let me guess….Perfumery school? I think, that ’s about the nicest time to visit Southern France, maybe your and my planes will meet from a distance and leave a cross on the sky when I will go to Brussels in May again.

Sigh…someone said chocolate?! Andy, your sardine experience doesn’t sound like fun…but how cool you’ll be in Los Angeles in April, which is where I live. If you need good restaurant recommendations, do let me know. Also wonderful hiking…I’ve lived here since 1988, and truly, it is now home to me.

Ah Gina, I am sighing, too! Just the idea to get into a car and drive around overthere makes me dream…
Dear Ylva, Rose Expo sounds great, too! Curious to hear more on your blog…
