As you, loyal reader, might already know, traffic conditions in and around Luxembourg can be pretty bad. We do have radio stations that on a regular basis list a few issues, but they're not always "up-to-speed"... Same goes for those apps that use the public network...
In my recent posts on Batiself, I got into poor customer service of a "home-depot-style" shop. My posts on Cultural Distance touched on the difference between cultures and how they affect perceptions, and my post on Paradigm Shifts tried to highlight a change in...
For years, I have been advocating self-checkouts in all kinds of places, yet everyone always told me it wasn't going to catch on. Then back in my London-time, I saw a Tesco in the Bank area that had nearly only self-checkouts and I tried to grasp all the...
This week was marked by a development that was somewhat unexpected to me. A place that I've been going to for a very long time now, a place that I've tremendously enjoyed, has been holding my lesser visits against me. Don't get me wrong, the relationship has developed...

When I was a young boy, my parents taught me to be a good boy, to stand up for what I believe in, and to play by the rules. Those rules applied to anyone that wanted to be just a good boy as I was, and ultimately to those that "wanted to go to heaven". These rules...
This is a small sample of pictures I've taken over the past 2 years with my EOS 30D. For a beginner like me, it took ages to find ways to take pictures I was happy with, they all required a tripod, a lot of tries, and a nag to not just yet go home, even when it's...
So, I've had the "great pleasure" of kicking my well deserved holidays off with a bad case of the flu, maybe even the famous one. Ever since friday night/saturday morning, I've been very feverish, dizzy, coughing and feeling as "wimpy" as men do that catch a virus. As...
