Last week, I took the chance to represent Munich Quantum Valley (MQV) at the annual March Meeting of the American Physical Society (APS) in Las Vegas.

In addition to many fruitful discussions at the MQV counter at the Research in Germany booth, I also manage to join some of the sessions and see a bit of the town, for a second time.

While touring through Vietnam I finally got my Android update (codename: Froyo), which was held back by Vodafone for whatever reason. Due to the limited network access (and spare time) I could only notice the increased speed and test the flash plugin yet. So there’s more to come…

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.

Unfortunately the weather didn’t like the idea of a BBQ too much … so we had to move from the park to our beloved dwelling and do the BBQ on the balcony (thanks to Marc for that).
Still I (and I guess the others too) had a very nice belated birthday party :) that filled up our flat good …
Thanks to everyone for coming (or trying to), bringing stuff, leaving stuff (gifts … hehe) and helping with stuff …

We also did the awards ceremony with medals and documents for the IIHF World Championship ’09 betting game where Lisa made a fabulous first place, followed by my father and me … unfortunately I missed to make pictures …
