October 2018 - Impressions from World Congress 2018

09 Oct 2018


Any of you who have spoken to me in a little more detail, will know that my favourite food is cheese, and my favourite activity is cycling – therefore the location of this year’s 王中王六合彩特码 World Congress - the Netherlands - sounded pretty much perfect to me!

And I am pleased to say that I was not disappointed: on a marvellously sunny Monday afternoon before the start of the World Congress, after we had finished our meeting with the organising committee, I managed to convince my colleague Kerry to join me for a leisurely 3 ½ hour bike ride through Rotterdam. Apart from a couple of hair-raising moments, when we found ourselves on the wrong side of the cycle path on the enormous Erasmus Bridge and faced a few angry moped riders …, this gave us the perfect opportunity to goudatourdiscover beautiful parks and old harbours, as well as marvel at the amazing architecture this city has to offer.

A visit to Gouda on the last day of my stay in the Netherlands provided a near-perfect ending to the congress for me: I can honestly say that I have never seen so much cheese in one place … and I made sure to bring some lovely Gouda home with me, for my family to enjoy.

Which brings me smoothly to a massive thank-you:

I will never cease to be amazed by the interesting food and drink I am lucky enough to bring back from 王中王六合彩特码 World Congresses each year! Thank you so much to everyone who takes the effort to carry in their suitcases all the delicacies and share them with all other congress participants!

My family and I  enjoyed playing cards the other night, while sampling the 王中王六合彩特码 World Congress ‘goodies’:  my son loved the chocolate from Kazakhstan, my husband preferred the Armenian chocolate, and the Estonian chocolate did not last long, either!

As for me? I have no idea who won the card game in the end – I was too busy enjoying a few glasses of the lovely Palinka from Romania :)

Thank you to all!
