Summer 2006 > Epis 1: Executive Summary

So that’s it, vacation is over, back to Canada with wifie and baby….the trip was long…12hours including a connection at Charles de Gaulle. Service at Air France was as usual impeccable but baby could not stand the long haul and ended up being too fussy at the end…at the expense of mommy (I didn’t help her and i feel bad about it, need to catch up soon)

I’ll talk about vacation later in detail (time permitting), but in a nutshell I did accomplish many things on the US/Canada-TN cooperation venture. I met some officials from the public and private sectior who were very keen and enthusiast about the proposal I’m putting forward to bring some high-tech business to TN.

On a personal note, I did have lots of fun with wifie, baby, family and the in-laws in Hammamet. The weather was extremely cooperative, the sea was calm and the breeze abundant...especially at night.

I managed - out of curiosity - to meet 2 bloggers individually and get some feedback about the local blogsphere. As I figured it out, the blogsphere is a mere social & gossip group, at best, a meet (& meat) market or a web version of the defunct IRC channels (for the tech savvy). This is not necessarily bad, but i was hoping that something may come out of this group, which - worth mentioning - features quite few talented folks.

Tunis overall remains a great location, but its people are very special…they’re not bad, they’re not wonderful either…just special and I like it.
