Last year was a very strange year for me, strange in the new sense of the word. I started to travel for work contracts, and got to see some amazing parts of the world for the first time (especially the Baltics). There was a few firsts, like going business class trans-atlantic flight and navigating cities like Belgrade on my own (top tip, make sure you get a map that has Cyrillic names of the streets, and make sure the address you want to go to also is in Cyrillic), and having a business trip based on hobby website of mine, (my skiiing tips website).
Travel for work can be fun, but it can als be a little over rated, it’s great to get to see these places & meet people face to face, but besides that, there generally isn’t such a great attraction to travelling for work. More often than not, travelling for work is done on tight schedules, so you don’t always get a full feel for a place, like you would on holidays. On the other hand, trips are a great change from working in an office on your own, where after a while the walls start to get a little too familiar.
Later on in the month I will try to do a post with my favorite picture form each place I took. But for now there is just a list.

Update : 18/2/2011 There is another email doing the rounds, this time from http://www.revenue.ie.casefileform.com/refund.php?form=19294030 Again it is a phishing attempt to get you fill in your details.
