Nearly 10,000!

Since I added the counter we've had nearly 10,000 hits. I know that lots of ex-students read this blog (they tell me in emails) and so do future students (it's useful to find out more about the school).
However, the most important reader is my mother-in-law in Buenos Aires! She checks every day to see the latest news from the school ... so, Marta, I hope you like the picture below of your little grandson and that you are looking forward to coming to visit us in December.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Berlin - a tourist guide.

I've just got back from four days in Berlin at a big education workshop. The purpose is to meet agents from all over the world, present the school (during 20-minute appointments), which hopefully will result in the agents promoting our courses to students who will choose our school. I think I gave over 45 presentations!

So... my guide to the city of Berlin is as follows:
Arrived Sunday lunchtime and took taxi to hotel.
Left Wednesday morning.
In between, all I did was work. Even during meals, it was work, work, work. In fact, all I saw was this view from my table in the exhibition hall!
The only time I left the hotel was to find a bar on Tuesday evening to watch the Chelsea game.

I'm a little embarrassed that I saw nothing of such an interesting city. I will definitely have to return as a tourist and see everything. So... sorry Berlin!

The worst bit about being away was missing Benjamin (and Greta, of course!). It was "only" four days but it felt like it was a lot longer.
