Washington. Actually, it was a trip to Reston, Virginia, but the border
seems to be a bit blurred with Washington being about the same distance
away as Centurion is from Pretoria. I flew from London last Sunday
morning and landed about lunch time US time, meaning that I met some of
my colleagues for dinner at about midnight, my time. I find it best to
jump straight into local time though and by the time I woke up on
Monday, I was almost in the swing of it.
I spent a productive week giving SAP training to my HR colleagues from
the US, Mexico and Brazil – 7 in total and I learnt an awful lot about
the different cultures. I also managed to squeeze in some successful
shopping (half-price for me, as the exchange rate is 1.9 to the £), and
as always the big meals and bottomless cokes at every restaurant.
Absolutely no sight seeing though, which the case is always when you go
for business. In a bid to be economical, you can see a pic of my
colleagues at a restaurant J
Glad to be back at home with my hubby though…now starting to prepare for
the big trip to Malaysia and Aus at the end of next week…ahh jet
setters!
