Thoughts of the day

Hi all,

I think the weather here is turning cold. Seems like there is a chilly wind blowing this whole morning and even the afternoon. Me just came back from a Tuberculosis Test which I have to do, as part of my application for a residence permit. Well, I wasn't coughing a lot just now..hehe, I think I should pass the test...:)

Anyway, work is going on well. Lots of preparation for the coming FIP Congress. This year, the congress is going to be in Cairo and the theme of the event is "Medicines for all - a Human Right" It is going to be a great congress so for all those pharmacists who are reading this, better sign up soon! Hehe...here is the link to the congress website:

Oh yes, for those of you who know Bill from Portugal, he is coming over to the Hague for a meeting and I think we are going to Amsterdam for fun! hehe....finally

If everything goes well, I will be in Bonn, Germany for a weekend in August for a congress, then in September, to Cairo for the FIP congress, then to Johannesburg for a week, and then to Geneva for another week to attend a WHO technical course. So, looking forward to August and September!

And the other exciting thing that is going to happen is that I am going to learn Dutch soon! Hehe,...signing up for a beginner's course from Oct to Dec. It is a 3 months course, twice weekly on mons and weds. Cool!

My first dutch sentence is "Spreek jij engels?" hehe..ironically, it means "Do you speak English?"
