San Fran, Sydney, Mumbai and Rome

The last few months since joining LinkedIn have been a whirl wind. Very long hours coupled by the steepest learning curve I've encountered.

Random highlights from recent trips:
  • Bumping into an old work colleague on George Street, Sydney as I went for a 7am run. Small world.
  • Meeting a blind man in Mumbai with 10% vision who was bursting with excitement after marrying a beautiful women who has 30% vision. The humblness in which he told his story will also stay with me.
  • Street children begging at your taxi window
  • Experiencing the mania of cricket world cup in Mumbai, only comparable to the soccer world cup in Brazil. Thousands and thousands of Indian kids bringing cricket bats with them everywhere.
  • Lawless, fearless, 3 wheeled, rickshaw drivers in India
  • Rome with Joe and Dad. Priceless. We should have done it years ago.
