End to an eventful week

It started with a last minute booking of a return tickets to NYC last Friday. The next day was followed with lots of footie and a rush to Heathrow to catch my flight for a surprise visit to my girlfriend in the Big Apple. The crash of the Lehman and difficulties faced by AIG definitely did not help with the face time that we have for each other (she works in the financial sector). Undeterred, I continued my foodie tour of the city on my own, focused mainly on burgers and ramen specifically. In 5 days, I tried the Five Guys Burgers and Fries, swung by Shake Shack, tasted ramens from Minca and Ipudo. In between, I sneaked in enough time to visit my old favourites at Burger Joint and Ramen Setagaya. I felt I had gain a stone from the trip but the burger & fries from Five Guys were simply amazing and the broth at Ipudo was just heavenly. I even managed to play some tennis with friends after more than a year and enjoy a few recommended coffees.

Today also spells my last day with the company that I have spent my last 2 and half years. It has been an extraordinary journey and will miss the incredible team that I have been working with. Tomorrow I embark on a new chapter and wishes the very best to the folks of my old office.

Adiós and stay in touch!
