Presenting to Worldwide Agents of Weiss Technik
The past week has been a whirlwind of activity at my principals factory in Lindenstruth,with close to 40 representations from as far south as Brazil,Australia and New Zealand, and as far north as Russia attending. Thankfully our friend from Mexico,Ernst Konrad did not attend as the world was reeling from the double whammy of Worldwide Financial Crisis and the Swine Flu.Apart from a few minor coughs and colds,everyone was OK.The mood was on the whole rather sombre and tense reflecting the seriousness of our work.

Dinner wise was a completely different matter though, as is with all our meetings there is a wide variety of food and particularly drink although this year, I cut back on the alcohol to only a couple of glasses of beer and the occasional schnaps (fruit wine,very potent). I got along especially well with Tibor, Alex and Tamas from Hungary,Romania and Slovenia territories and even had a 45 minute run at the town Park with Tibor early one Monday morning.

There were excursions too to Marburg (south of Frankfurt) and Frankfurt itself and was entertained highly by the stories from the excellent guides peppering their stories with lots of anecdotes and jokes about the people living in the past. Marburg is also famous for the Brother Grimm who lived here centuries ago.
