well, here i am in kenya.

I went to Europe? Man, I am spectacularly failing to keep up with this blog. Shoot. Or keep anyone up to date. Sorry. Um, yes. I went for work - to Rome for an FAO meeting of the Committee on Commodity Problems, and to the Netherlands for meetings on EPAs (economic partnership agreements, currently being negotiated between the EU and blocks of the african, carribbean and pacific group of courtries). Travelled by myself. Strange culture shock. more on that later ....
