Ernest Hemingway: “You needn’t bother going anywhere else. I can tell you: you can’t beat Munich, everything else in Germany is a waste of time.” If I had to say very quickly 3 things I knew about Munich, they would have been: the city where National Socialism rose to power, BMW, and during the 1972…
I have just read an article about WestJet in Globe and Mail: “For years, WestJet Airlines Ltd. proudly proclaimed that all of its passengers were equal.

I still have the confirmation e-mail* in my inbox and it bothers me that my options with regard to this promotion are very limited (almost non-existent). I mean I managed to get the other Club Carlson promotions (Mission Accomplished) but this one seems unreachable. However, I have thought of something: my plan is to have…

I had the free beer at the restaurant La Flamme d’Or at the Asahi Beer Hall, one of the buildings of the Asahi Breweries.
