Break time!

Ah yes...travel break!! And so it is, the week is over and I survived the midterms. It was stressful leading up to them, but taking them wasn't so bad. And now...three weeks without work.

I leave Sunday morning for Luxembourg. We will drive all day and reach our hotel by 11PM or so. Looong day for sure. We stay there until Tuesday afternoon then drive to Brussels. There, we will meet with Danish political leaders and bureaucrats within the EU, visit NATO HQ, see Museums, and surely visit a pub or two. We leave Friday afternoon and drive all night and arrive back at Copenhagen around 9AM. Looong night indeed.

Thinking about the EU gives me a headache because the the body is so large and cumbersome. Even learning about the different parts within it--Commission, Council of Ministers etc.--brings little clarity because there are so many rules to each one and the EU has many rules itself. It is difficult to keep track of everything. But I have the main points down about current issues, big players, major functions of institutions, etc.

Monday, October 22 I fly to Warsaw, Poland for two days; Wednesday I fly to Zagreb, Croatia; Tuesday, October 30 I fly back to Warsaw; Sunday November 4th I return to Copenhagen. In between, the trip of a lifetime the motherland and an awesome baltic country. I'm meeting my friend Melissa and staying with Damir so it should be great.

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. (If he will be possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll I thankful, bye friend).
