How about a meeting in Luxembourg?

[OlyFlyer]

I'll be in Luxembourg from the 15th April until the 20th April on a business meeting (not related to photography) but I'll have plenty of time after 5pm every day. How about a beer, coffe or dinner or all of that and some talk?

I know, I know, fat chance... If Sweden is a small country population wise, Luxembourg is even smaller, it is like a small town in another country...

Anyway, I asked and I would be glad to meet some of you face to face to celebrate my 1st CS anniversary.

Get a business trip to Singapore or Malaysia...we can have a meeting for beer or something.

That is not impossible but the April meeting is fixed to Luxembourg. Less travel, more efficient for me. Anyway, Luxembourg is a nice place to visit once or twice a year, especially Springtime.

Well, I did not expect you all to queue up at an airline counter and fight over the few available tickets just to meet me, but ocassionally I see some of you post pictures from Paris, London, Rome so even if chances are not high but definitely not zero that someone would be in Luxembourg when I am there. It is after all, a place where a lot of international meetings are held all the time regarding a lot of subjects. So even if it has not that many inhabitants it has many visitors and it is very international. I bet you there are always a lot of SG ppl in Luxembourg, both being very important finacial centers and so on. There might also be a slight (say 0.00001%) chance that there is one CS member from Luxembourg reading this.

Well, maybe sharing room would not be OK. Company policy since shareing a room = private travel = I have to pay for it. I would however gladly invite you to dinner & beer & coffe/tee regardless if you are gay or not.

Actually, I was part of an international meet in Toronto last year thanks to MyFourThirds.com which has its home in Toronto...yes I know I live in Toronto so it's not exactly an excursion for me, but then again I joined the trip to Niagara Falls which I haven't been to since I was a child (you live near all these touristy spots, but you don't go unless there's a special opportunity or when someone comes to visit and you need to show them where the spots are).

Then again, on this sojourn I've been to a part of Toronto I've never been to before, the Distillery District http://www.thedistillerydistrict.com/ While it used to be an area for brewing, it's now a mecca for artists including photographers with a couple of galleries, etc.

Nah, just reacting to the "regardless if you're gay or not" remark.

Maybe the 'regardless if...' is the wrong expression but my English is as it is. Well, I don't mind if a person is straight or not, I can still eat dinner, drink beer/coffe/tea and talk about common interests with him/her. 'Are you gay?' is not the first question I ask. Even if the answer would be a 'Yes' in case the question ever comes up, I would really not care in that situation.

So, gay or straight, man or woman, race, skin colour, religion not really important, I will still be there to meet any CS:er for a good talk. No room sharing thou.

Sigh... if only I can get away from work... I need a holiday badly... Luxembourg is not a bad destination, not a bad destination at all... I can use my flyer miles.

I couldn't agree more. Luxembourg is not a bad destination at all to have a holiday there, and if you'd get tired, Germany, Holland and Belgium are all very near since Luxembourg is not just a small city but also a very small country.

Unfortunately the last time I had holidays in Luxembourg was about 25 years ago, though I have been there at lest 15-20 times after that, but always as work, no holidays. The Luxembourg I remember from my holidays is not the one I recognize today.

Can't make this one but I will be in Swden in the summer, either in Stockholm for a few days or Nora (a beautiful little town in the middle of Sweden, but I guess you know that so more for the others) for a few days, where are you based

Part of the summer I'll be in Sweden too. Unfortunatelly no plans for Stockholm visit. I live south of, about 600km south of Stockholm.
