On my visit in Visaginas (op north east in Lithuania) I saw a lot of great nature, but I did also do some seightsightseeing in the town…  what really amazed me was how the town was sort of situated in the forrest…  so forrest in between the different areas of the town, and with forrest I dont mean those planted alleys and parks, but forrest that was there before Visaginas!
But Vigaginas did also have some bars and a couple of restaurants - and one place caught my attention - this place they sell Carlsberg, but people should please leave their Guns and Bombs outside…  it reminds me a bit of Copenhagen, here we cant bring SoftIce into the busses…. 

Carlsberg, but no Guns and Bombs please…

Thanx Lasse for visiting us in Vilnius - and a big thanx for leaving this great present behind on the hotel - A Tie Pin of Amber
You really shouldnt have done it…  (I really mean it..  ;-)  )

An Amber Tie Pin from Vilnius

Back at the office from 10 nice days in Lithuania, so now its time again for some blogging.

Been at the Addvisors Vilnius office - soon there will be an Addvisors Riga office!

In 1.Q consult we had a boardmeeting where CEO Thomas Rønlev showed us some big and interesting clients using our services and some big coming in soon - more on this later…

And then I used whole last week up in Visaginas with my girlfriend visiting her parents - Visaginas is the Lithuanian town up north with the Nuclear Power Plant ( Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant) providing most of the Lithuanian electricity and with a great area of forest of lakes - a really beautiful area…  and yes, I did swim several times in these clean lakes…..

As some of you might remember Thomas Sørensen and I did have a very bad experience at Wild Orchid Villa in April 2007, and now the new manager Jackie at Wild Orchid Villa has been commenting on of my blog post and invited me to try them out again - new manager, new staff and renovation of the rooms - certainly interesting.

I’m not planning for Thailand or Bangkok within the next months, but sometimes in the fall or maybe in spring 2009…  anyway I’m pretty sure I will give it a try, especially now that Jackie is writing me like this.
(wondering if I should say ‘hello’ or not…  - anyway got some months to thing about that..)

I’m not really sure who’s the target group of this Lithuanian toilet manual I found last time I was in Vilnius - is it for the local Lithuanians who doesnt get that kind of ‘education’ at home or is it us foreigners who doesnt know how to behave at a toilet??
When you look at a lot of toilets around the world it seems like its a good idea with a toilet manual…  and judging by the people in some bars, somebody should have shown them this Lithuanian toilet manual…  NO, you’re not supposed to deposit your brain in the toilet…. 
And NO fishing!!!

Lithuanian Toilet Manual

Back in Copenhagen again and as you might have seen here on the blog… a great vacation without any blogging at all… now I just hope that I can remember all my passwords and that tomorrow (first day at the office - today is Easter day) will not be only email reading and answering…

Bonus info: I did buy an iPhone!!!

Anyway more will follow on the Thailand trip and the iPhone…

Now its time!!  Leaving for Thailand and Koh Chang tomorrow!!!  and I’m looking sooo much forward to the nice beaches, seafood, sun and diving…..

Now I finally decided where to go in March…  so its now for sure that I’ll leave for Koh Chang, Thailand, on 7th March and will be back on the 24th… Gonna be so good!

I’m back again in Vilnius after 3 days back in Copenhagen - and the weather has now changed in to snow… did I forget my boots?? yeah!
Anyway its gonna be good to see Thomas and Bo from the 1.Q Consult board again - have some good meetings and of course join the Julefrokost by ‘the Danish Club’ in Vilnius… pretty stange travelling to Vilnius for a Danish style Xmas dinner.

Seing this advertisement I learned a new Lithuanian word… not really sure what to use it for or what it means, but I do think it sound a bit funny and it gives some wierd associations…

Is it something like ’shame’ = skam (at least in Danish..) - so Skambutis will be ‘Shame on you’? probably because the girls talks to much in her mobile… Skambutis to her!

(ouch, sure I wont be welcome by my Lithuanian friends anymore…)
