România

Another business trip to Romania. This time no major flight delay. Arriving on a Monday afternoon at day light.

The hotel receptionist greeting me like a good old friend (no idea what I did to be remembered from the last trip 3 months ago, lol). This time much colder -14C degrees, snow & ice but the hotel heat worked and we had hot water for the full 4 days (I was prepared with a hot water bottle – not needed).

Freezing outside, sweating inside (seems only the German heat is turned down).

Back with my favorite work colleagues in our plant and development center. Back with the crazy taxi drivers (we ended up with a „personal driver“ while skidding along the icey roads listening to 80s pop music – same music taste, is that why I like the country so much?!). Laughing about my German colleague who had a bit of a hard time being in Rumania.

Amazing dinners in great company. I’ve seen the most interesting colored hair (turquoise, purple, very blonde, very pink – everything) & matching outfits. Being surrounded by extremely young people, keeping our mind fresh and make us feel old (maybe I should dye my hair, too?).

Yes, a business trip is allowed to be fun. Long work days, short nights and a lot of topics for homework inclusive. I very much enjoyed that again. Sometimes, I love my job. Lol. Got my overdose of people (in a good sense).

Bye for now!
