Day 013, a small step for man, but a geant leap for my social life

Bonasera gente

Friday the 13th hasn't ment anything to me so far,
nor in Belgium, nor elsewhere. Just like april first. What's the big deal?
It is just a date, a number people accord to a day, to not forget there appointments or pay-deadlines. In Italy, friday the 13th is just another almost-weekend-day.
Friday the 17th, that is the real hell! Nobody would close a deal on friday the 17th, or leave the house for no urgent reason. Supersticious they are, you bet!

For me - my social life specificaly - friday 13th has become a good day, if not the best day so far!
Finally i met miss Neckermann von Germany who was kind enough to invite me for lunch at their favorit lunchbar so i got to know the people from Thomas Cook / Neckerman from Germany, Belgium and Ostereich. Which is nice. Miss Neckerman is called Christina and she's more a mama to the reps (= short for "tour operator representatives") than 'just another rep'. And she even speaks a mouthfull of Vlaams.. Otimo!!

Unfortunatly they all got very early flights tomorrowmorning, so no get-togethering tonight, cause they al have to get up to get their clients to the airport - CTA APT -, many of them have more than 1 flight that day, to and from different destinations in their respectievelijke countries. For Example TC Germany has flights to Frankfurt (FRA), Dusseldorf (DUS), Berlin (THF) or Munich (MUC) at different times. Perhaps all on the same day? I'm not sure about that last day-thing, i'm not that interested in the competition.

So no party today??? Wrong answer... i'll get together with some locals who run the bar annex tearoom underneath the Jetair office. They told me to come around midnight... hell, they probably don't know i get up every morning at 7am... but have to go show my face overthere, can't be rude to a Sicilian person when you get an invite. They might make you an offer you can't resist !!Got'em?
I do prefer to survive this so far fantastic friday 13th.....

Arrivederci
