Bucharest

Just returned from a week in Bucharest at the ‘ATLAS Exotics and SUSY Joint Workshop’, which took place at the Ministry of Culture and had its conference dinner at the slightly oversized Palace of Parliament, depicted above. The latter holds some interesting records, e.g. as the world’s largest civilian building with an administrative function, the world’s most expensive administrative building and the world’s heaviest building!?
Anyways …  the workshop was nice, the dinner was nice, my talk was nice ;) and Buchrest certainly interesting … which reminds me of an equally interesting article on Bucharest I read this week.

Lucky delay and another wedding

For the first time in my life I was extremely happy about a delayed plane. Returning from Perugia last Friday, it actually saved my day. With trains as well as bussed being delayed I only made it to the check-in at boarding time. Only by the fact that the plane had one hour delay anyways I got on it … puha!
With more than an hour delay I finally made it home at 1h30 next morning, leaving again at 8h30 for another of this year’s weddings (there were a couple of friends getting married this year).
Nice ceremony and party somewhere in the outback of North-East Germany.

“Fat Tax”

There are things in this world you wouldn’t believe … Ryanair is having an election on what kind of “Fat Tax” they should introduce in their price scheme … be aware of the fact that the question of whether to have such a tax at all has already been answered by a previous election …
