Every now and then I like to check out the Visited Countries page to see how much of the world I have covered. Here are my current results. Wow! Now I still have to hit Africa and most of southern South America....and China....oh, India, and most of SE Asia....oh and all those places in the MidEast where my head might not stay attached to the rest of my body....OK, there is a lot to see still.... Go...

When you read about the travels of you learn about the interesting people they meet on the trains and busses of the world. I don't typically get to meet those people. Either the locals avoid the seat next to me, or I get the rejects of society. Take for instance my trip from Rijeka to Zagreb. The bus was scheduled to leave at 1PM so I got there with plenty of time to spare. I boarded and arranged my...

As I headed out to see the Ethnographical Museum this evening, I heard a bang. But then I am in a new place with lots of new sounds. I figured it was one of the streetcars as they forced their way down the road. Then amongst all the people I saw some delinquent stroll out of the bushes in front of the hotel. I figured he had done some drugs or something and barely noticed him or his dog. On the way...

Yesterday was a beautiful day in Zagreb. It was also the first day of the Workflow class I am teaching. At lunch we went up to the top floor of the building where the company’s cafeteria is. But the highlight is that this place has a roof deck. Now last time I was here, a roof deck wouldn’t have been well used as it was in the upper 20s to lower 30s (I still think in Farenheit). But yesterday...

Ahh, lying down in a nice comfy Westin bed. Its been an exhausting week of very early mornings in preparation for the class I taught last week as well as the class I start tomorrow here in Zagreb. The room is very nice: But I have one question. In the bathroom there are two things resembling a toilet. One of them is in fact a toilet. But the other is something else. Its not one of those wierd things...

One of the types of restaurants I go to in every city I visit is Sushi. I love it. I eat it everywhere. Some sushi restaurants are wonderful, lots of others really suck. Since moving to Amsterdam I have tried 3 or 4 there and, well, they aren’t great. I am told the restaurant in the big Japanese hotel towards the southern edge of the city is very good, but I haven’t tried it yet. Of course...

It seems the Customs office is having a difficult time with my laptops and has delayed their entry. They were supposed to be delivered on Friday, but they didn’t even arrive into the country until early this morning….and customs doesn’t want to release. So class is delayed till tomorrow. The plus side of this is that I get an extra day in Zagreb. There are definitely worse places...

Greetings from the Palace Hotel in Zagreb, Croatia. I just got back from a lovely dinner at the Agava Trattoria just a few blocks to the north of here on Tkalciceva, in the shadow of the great cathedral. Over a wonderful steak in a mushroom sauce, I looked out onto the road below and across to that cathedral, not ablaze like would be the case in most major cities, but dramatically lit just in the bell...

Next week I will be in Zagreb, Croatia delivering a Workflow Training session to a great Captaris partner.The session takes 2.5–3 days but then the evenings as well as Sunday evening and Thursday morning are free. I know I will get recommendations from the people in the class, but want to know if anyone reading this has any favorite spots in Zagreb. Personally I will consider the trip a success...
