City of Love



Santiago is the city with the most kissing couples I have ever seen. On every bench in every park you will find a couple kissing in the sun and
paying attention to nothing. No horning car, traffic or human can
bother them it seems.

Air France

We tried the all new business class of Air France on our trip to Santiago de Chile. The flat beds were acceptable, the food great and we do not know how the flight was because we slept the whole way...

Nice pic from Tim

Tim send me this nice picture of him in his Tokyo Hospital. Luckily his mysterious virus or bacteria he caught on Fiji was treated well here and he has returned to Holland safely.

New Phone Nokia N70

Got a new phone from The Telegraaf: the Nokia N70. A full flash G3 media phone. Unfortunately in the New York Times today the all new Blackberry Curve had a raving review (it is a sort of Pearl but then with a compete keyboard). I guess I will wait for that phone in stead. Just t breach the gap to the introduction of the Apple Iphone naturally...

The Telegraaf project

I started as CEO Telegraaf Classified Media. (except for the real estate unit that is...). It will be fun and challenging to try to manage that business. Although the setting is a bit different than running your own joint (like funda) I felt at home immediately and am spending my days by listening what's going on.We need a lot of effort, energy and motivation to reach the ambitious goals that are set. But it is doable :-)

We had an other wonderful cooking experience at Pat. Main dish was lamb but it took us at least 3 hours to prepare the complete menu. As usual we laughed and tasted a lot.

Having a cold

It happened again: every time this guy is flying longer then 5 minutes the virus gets him and starts a terrible cold. My nose is blocked and I have a irritating itching cough. Maybe airlines should make it a rule that everyone aboard is wearing face masks to prevent the virus from spreading? wonder what they do in China and Japan  about this problem...
