To Canada and beyond

So, I went to Paris and did my interview. Just to give you a mental image, I have to note that summer has broken out in Ireland. We nearly hit the 20 degrees Celcius twice and it rains a little less. Coming from this background, it is no surprise that it took me a little while to adjust to the 30 odd degrees in Paris. Marching to my interview in business casual and with a really heavy bagpack, I was very happy that my anti-transpirant deo held it's end of the bargain.

They haven't send me my results on paper yet. So all I have is an email with a PDF attachment. Well, I am sure it will work out. It did so far... Anyway, the weather here is miserable at the moment. So I posted a picture from another day. I love the clouds here in Ireland...
