PS I'm offering a prize to anyone who can guess which city, or even which country....
It's one I haven't done before on both counts...(like that narrows it down, lol)

1 point for correctly guessing that I've not worked there before :)

* Footnote:
As with all things contract, there is a damn good chance that nothing will ever come of it, but I know that and with that in mind I still like to get excited about places I've never been to before even if I end up never going there, IYSWIM, call it a perk of the job ;-p
Here's the philosophy that I've been using for while (stolen from Robert Louis Stevenson)
"For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travels' sake.
The great affair is to move, to get down off this featherbed of civilisation
and to find the globe granite underneath and strewn with cutting flints"

Ljubljana, not because I really think you're going there but because it's such a lovely word to roll around.

You've done Luxembourg, right? I faintly remember the Pub in the Grunde %-)
You wouldn't be this excited about Belgium, so how about....
Lapland!
You're going to be DBA to Santa, aren't you.

Yes , I've done Lux and managed to escape with my liver intact....
It's not Lapland. As I said , you've already had the answer , but your intial premise was incorrect.

I assumed you'd worked in Germany. *Everyone's* worked in Germany.
(Tip: don't mention the war. I mentioned it once but I /think/ I got away with it.)
