May 13, 2008
After seeing some comments on a forum post about a lack of Singapore TB meet-ups, some pre-work started for a meet-up in June. Well, I was going in May, so next thing I knew, Winnie was arranging a meet-up for the Tuesday, my last night in Singapore.

Beer...its whats for Dinner!
Mar 30, 2004 - May 11, 2008
Not a very original topic, but I've been noticing a recurring theme in many of my blogs and photos where Beer is playing a prominent part, so I will try to show some of the many brews I have tried throughout my travels, and when I can, will try to give reviews of them as well...

Giving Due to the Dusseldorf Do
Apr 18, 2008 - Apr 19, 2008
If you are not well aware by now, there was an amazing meet-up in Dusseldorf on the weekend of April 18-20, 2008. The Incredible Lauro managed to finesse 50 travbuddies to come together for a giant group dinner on Saturday evening. So many of us couldn't wait that we had an unofficial mini-meet the day before, and many people stayed for another the following day. Unfortunately I had to be back in Eindhoven on Sunday for the PSV Championship so I missed those events, but had an amazing time!
