Mexico..

People who are reading my blog already know that I am not a pussy when it comes to foreign food..I try to taste all kinds of exotic delights and I am proud to say that I"ve never suffered any illness or a bad stomach..and I've been all around the world but after all those exotic places it had to be Mexico who gave me my first diarrhea caused by a cheese sandwich bought at Starbucks..it was not a nice experience as I was the only guy at the trade show at my booth and I had to ask the security guy to check after my stuff while I was at the restrooms.
The trade show lasted only for three days but the traffic afterwards was enough for a lifetime. It took me two hours to get to the hotel from the fairgrounds, which is a distance of maximum 15 kilometers (approx. 10 miles). Imagine the frustration I had to suffer sitting in the bus with a bad stomach..there wouldn"t be a difference if I had taken a taxi as the traffic was so dense that not even a motorcycle could have passed by..
So it was a relief when the show ended and I started to pack my bags. But before I go I had some tacos and a cold Corona and it almost made me forgot all my problems..
My flight to Istanbul was a long one with United Airlines.. I had to fly to Washington Dulles and from there to Frankfurt and again from Frankfurt to Istanbul.
While I was sitting there on my way to Washington waiting for the plane to take off I suddenly heard my name through the board speakers..they were calling me up and when I showed myself they told me that I had to go out..I thought what the fuck?
So I stepped out and there was this security Jose waiting for me..I was searched again thoroughly and when I asked him in spanish what it was all about he told me "just security measures señor,nothing more"..it was weird since I was the only guy they checked..this never happened to me but I guess being an American Airline you get to experience all kind of things. they probably thought a guy with a german passport flying to Istanbul via Washington is probably a potential ISIS-Terrorist..well..what can I say..fuck you very much UA.
Now that I have popped the word ISIS combined with terrorist it will blink an alarm somewhere at the NSA offices and they will read my blog as well and check whether this blogger has any ties to international terror organizations..well I certainly know how to attract readers..right?..good for me..this blog needs more readers. bloddy right!!
So next one will be from London..where I will enjoy a short holiday trip with my wife..stay safe  everybody!!

Hola Mejico!! De aquí pronto nos veremos..

What was that song from that chick? Ironic? I think it was Alanis Morissette. You know where four of them sit in a car and sing about life being ironic. Well, I dont think she had me in mind when writing that song but  some readers of this post, (although there aren't many, I am quite aware of that but I will pretend to have millions of true followers.), I was telling some posts ago how sick I was of this whole travelling life and guess what..management thought it would be a good idea to send me even farther..I am really getting suspicious..I think they are trying to get rid of me. Maybe coincide with one of those crazy pilots?

By the way, that was really sad and crazy. I used to fly that route a lot back in the days with Germanwings. From Düsseldorf to Barcelona. I can't imagine the terror that the people had to go through. And their families...what are they thinking? me, being a dad of a 4 year old daughter, I think I would go berserk! I mean, somebody fucked up something, somewhere so this crazy muthatrucka was able to get a pilot license. Somebody needs to account for this tragedy.

Anyways, so management thought it would be good for me and for the business of course, to visit Mexico and Chicago. I was assigned with these new regions and they took away from me Macedonia. What a relief!! Really???, I mean, really??? take away a country with what..3 mio people and give me a freakin' continent with half a billion people???

So first stop is going to be Mexico D.F at the end of April. First time for me to fly overseas so you can guess how excited I am. The flight itself will take like 20 hours with one stop in Frankfurt. And then in June I will be visiting windy city. Well, since childhood we were bombarded with endless Hollywood products so I could tell a city when I see it on TV. But of course, it is not the same. I started to read on the web where to go and what to see. Of course, I will be busy with work but in the evenings I will have plenty of time to see the city.

But first, Mexico D.F. as a spanish speaker I don't think I will have it difficult over there. I was a big fan of mexican food so I am really looking forward to those tacos, quesadillas, and whatnots. If anyone has good tip for a good restaurant in Mexico city just hit me up.

I still have a Balcan trip to make in May so that will be next but until then stay safe everybody.

Its a bird, its a plane...no, it's just me wondering where to fly next! well..at least I get to collect miles!!
