In order to create a platform to inform all my friends around the world i decided to write from now on in English (or at least what is left from my proficiency level of 1992 …
).
Long time no hear, no sign, no nothing. Let me tell you in a few words what has happend since my last entry…
Toni helped to move all my stuff to his house in Langenthal. It was awful but good; a perfect chance to view all my belongings, especially the ones you want to get rid off. But as i always try to recycle things, it is hard to through things away. Especially when knowing that friends in Peru are in desperate need of items you could easily spare. But i managed to find an acceptable way; i organised a garage sale. Just for a small circle of people as i am not yet very familiar with the locals here.
I started to work part time at Toni’s Garage, mainly organising trips and events. The last of 5 just took place last Friday,
19 October. It was very successful with 134 attendees. A wonderful evening! (more pics under http://picasaweb.google.de/vbringolf/FotosJubilUmsanlass30JahreMazdaVertretungDerGarageOetterli). Besides there was the regular fall exhibition in the showroom, the garage sale as mentionned before, a big summer party in our garden, and a 3-day-trip to Barcelona for the whole work force of Toni’s Garage (a special incentive in the event of 30 years Mazda representation in Langenthal). So there was no time to hang loose …
A small treat was a side trip to Thailand to check out the little house we are renting for a year, and at the same time visit Toni’s brother Erwin who lives there next door.
Things are changing rapidly. Instead of having the chance to work part time and that way slowly grow into the business it looks as if i will take up further tasks soon; Toni’s salesman decided to leave work and switzerland within a short time, so i suppose i will work more than planned …
