Some traveling...

As some of you may know, this blog was about my travels in the States...now I'm back at home in Switzerland but lately I have been traveling again and as I uploaded some pics to my Web Albums, I may just as well write some lines about it... ;-)

To start with, I have been in Arjeplog in the north of Sweden in the end of February. I was there for a long weekend to do a driver training with BMW. I had won that by participating in a programming contest done by Avaloq. What can I say...it was definitely worth the effort... ;-) ...we spent most of the time driving with some powerful BMWs (Z4 M Coupé, M3, 335i) on an icy lake and learning how to drift. It's probably pretty expensive, if you don't win it as a prize but otherwise, I can only recommend it. Some more pictures can be found here and if someone wants to see some videos, just send me an e-mail...

The next trip was a shorter one to the Geneva Motor Show (Salon International de l'Auto). Well...it still takes about 3 hours to get there... ;-) ...as every year, there were some nice things to see. Just check out the pics and don't miss the Rinspeed sQuba...a car you can dive with...

Then there was a nice UNITECH (my exchange program) event in Dublin for St. Patrick's Day. The national holiday of Ireland is not that known in continental Europe, but it's definitely a big thing in the States, Canada (check out my pics from last year's parade in Montreal) and of course in Ireland. So there was one more reason to have a few Guiness, Irish coffees and Jamesons to celebrate St. Patrick in the nice pubs of Dublin...very nice... ;-)

So much for now...hope that wasn't the last bit of traveling for me this year...
