So was lucky enough not to have to go to the USA (on business) this week, thank god! Been through waaaaay too many of those annual, corporate meetings; they're all the same, and super boring. And the attitudes floating around those events are, for the most part, too superficial for my tastes. Much better at home in Melbourne, thank you very much.

Upcoming trips (vacation):
-December 18-24, Perth Western Australia (kite)
-February 1-7, Perth Western Australia (kite)

December-March there's gonna be loads of visitors staying at my place, coming from all over: my parents, Ruben, Ashley, and Tommaso. Looking forward to it!

It's gonna be a busy summertime :-)

Went kiteboarding the other day in front of my house, came back home all wet and sandy in my wetsuit - only to discover I took the wrong house key (and no money or phone)!! Spent 3 hours waiting for Laurie and Zoe to show up with the keys....at least the Fuel 9.0 kite turned out to be good camping equipment.

Hanging out on my balcony in St Kilda, Melbourne - kitesurf spot in the background :-)

Laurie and Zoe - visiting from overseas (UK and Taiwan), staying at my place for a week. Laurie and I go waaaaaay back.....high school in Rome, Italy. Both of them will be moving to Melbourne next July, looking forward to it, good luck guys!

Big nite out with colleagues in Singapore. That's my boss in the blue shirt, he sure loves his beer.

In Singapore - looking bored. I think I was bored actually haha!

One of the better pics I took while in Singapore.

Loads of instructions and signage for the local Singapore cabbie.

Oh Really? Good thing there's a sign to tell you that. Hotel room, Singapore.

Probably the last time I look out of that window...my apartment in Noordwijk, Holland, October 22. Apartment is for sale, looks like it might be sold very very soon. Happy and not happy at the same time.
