i got back from my unannounced holidays. vietnam is quite a nice country, in my all-time-favorites holiday ranking i would put it behind china,new zealand,mongolia,and turkey. unfortunately i still have some things reminding me of vietnam that i would like to get rid of... there is always a risk traveling to those sub-tropic countries. they got quite some diseases there. and some of them quite nasty. i hope i got lucky but will only know for sure next week.... anyways... when i was away i missed the release of the new ubuntu. i didnt upgrade yet, but i have to say i am quite suprised how unexiting the featurelist is. i will see if and when i update. best bytes

Yesterday evening i came back from my holidays. The transit from Fiji home took about 48 hours, with too many hours waiting on the airports Auckland, L.A. and Heathrow.... so i was quite exhausted when we finally arrived. Now I am fighting with my jetlag and tomorrow... well tomorrow work starts again. Hope everything at work worked while i was gone :) my holiday were 3 weeks in New Zealand where me and my friends traveled the northern island and then 1 week in Fiji for relaxing. New Zealand is an awesome country i can highly recommend to pay a visit to. its the first country i've visited so far where i would want to live. i cant say the same about fiji.... but it was ok for a one week holiday there. maybe i'll write some more about my holidays at some later point. we will see.

today i got back from my 3 weeks trip in cuba. it was an.... interesting trip. i had better though. it seems to visit cuba at the moment is not the greatest idea: there are still many signs from the last 3 cyclones/hurricanes (of which i had the honor to experience the lastest). They also greatly affected tourism and thus: you. Plus they may have affected the mood of the people like 2 cubans pointed out to me. putting that aside it might be wise to reconsider if you really want to go to cuba if one of the following facts apply to you: * you dont speak spanish * you get annoyed if you get approached every 10 minutes by somebody wanting to sell you something or trying to trick you * you want to make a not-pre-planned trip with spontaneous decisions where to go and hate to remake your plans 4 times a week. * you get annoyed by waiting in lines maybe i'll post some things and facts about cuba in more detail at some later point. for now, i will now give in to the jet lag ;) best bytes...
