Heading on a plane from the gulf area to Tehran, Iran, the authors of this last blog entry reflect on an unusual, fascinating and informative week in Doha. The experience was indescribable, we all gained insights into a new and fascinating world, so unknown and different, and yet oddly similar in certain aspects. We have […]

On the last day, we took a guided walking tour around St. Petersburg. It was freezing cold (for us at least; I definitely wasn’t used to the -2 degrees) but this added to the beauty of the city. It has a completely different feel than Moscow, which is busy and vibrant, and St. Petersburg just […]

The company visit to Hyundai was an absolute highlight. The factory was simply incredible; I had never seen a factory […]
