horizons.



Q: And the worst?



A: The worst thing is that I am working on New York time. I finish work

during normal office hours, but then I have to prepare meeting material

of a computer with a video-conferencing system. It means I can't go out

to have a drink with friends on week days.



Q: Your all-time favourite film and why?



A: Forrest Gump. I just love the way he lives his life, and the

it.

things.
