Carrefour is an international retail chain from France like Wall Mart in the US or Tesco in the UK. Last week we went to Carrefour to buy some beers and we were completely stunned by the shop. The store looked like a hard discount store: uneven corridors, old shelves, dirty linoleum floor and products everywhere. I have never seen a supermarket in such a state, you can have a look at it below.

I am now on the way to Mechelen after my 3 day trip in Nantes. Let me remind you that I spend 3 days in Nantes to discuss the workshop in Mechelen this week. To make it even simpler: we discussed during the meetings in Nantes to decide what we would discuss during the meetings in Mechelen. You so want to be right now!
I am in the Thalys train taking me to Brussels surrounded by suits, I must be the only person in first class who is not wearing a shirt! Everything is done for the businessman who is always busy: free breakfast, power plugs for the laptop, taxi waiting at the station and free internet access through wifi... I feel a little bit lonely when I am in the middle of such a crowd because I can’t find anything common between those men and those few women. But at the same time I am writing my blog on my phone when everyone else is typing something on their laptop. I like Belgium very much so I am in quite a hurry to get their even though the workshop waiting for me would be a good reason to stay home.
P.S.: I had to make a round trip back to Paris in the evening because i realized when i arrived in front of the customers office that my laptop was at home.
