November 19, 2010

Today, I set off for my trip to Germany. An hour before I was supposed to leave the flat I realised I hadn't bought some things (like vodka for a friend, for example), so I had to rush and arrived at the airport rather close to the last-check-in time... Bloody typical, Sasha. On the other hand, I didn't have to wait. I was quite pleased to see the look of astonishment in my German colleagues' faces when they noticed me at the gate. The flight was all right, I did some reading and had a nice lunch (oh, I haven't travelled with decent air lines for ages). The first thing I saw upon arrival made my giggle. SAP is indeed everywhere.





The second thing I ran into was a red tape that was on my way to Fernnahnhof and, therefore, to Cologne. Apparently, someone left their handbag and they were suspecting a terrorist attack. Anyway, while waiting in a crowd of Germans, I met this lovely guy, called Dennis. We boarded the same train later on and, 40 minutes later it turned out that B.Braun is one of their suppliers (he works for a dental something company). I mentioned SAP and the woman next to us, sighed, and said that SAP implementation is a nightmare. I found that hilarious. I generally love all these encounters that I'm lucky to have during my travels!
On arrival to Koeln Haupbahnhof I spent an hour on the platform, worrying a lot but got the message I'd been waiting for at last, headed for the Koelner Dom and finally noticed a familiar and rather conspicuous moustache)
