  • Cruise without Tom

    For the past few days I attended an awesome "Leadership Cruise" from Nice to the Island of Elba, then to Portofino and again back to Nice. Here some photos of our cruise boat "Sea Cloud":

    The trip itself was for around five days, and of superb quality. First of all, it was a group of world-class entrepreneurs and leaders; secondly we were cruising to some of the most beautiful places in Europe; and thirdly we had additional value from the leadership training organized by a UK based company called "Ten", and as the cherry on the cake killer presentations by well-known entrepreneurs and leaders. Just Tom Cruise was not there...

    All in all, a great get-a-way from home - a combination of holidays and learning, masterminding and chilling, and now with full power ready to start new ventures. Here is link to my photo set of the cruise at Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fizzphotos/

  • Free WiFi in international hotel chains

    Free WiFi access in the guest rooms (and entire hotel) should be a standard feature by now in all international hotel chains, wouldn't you agree? But it's not! Most international hotel chains still charge for the internet access, sometimes ridiculous amounts.

    Just stayed at Hilton Beijing, and although they offer free WiFi in the lobby, you pay 30 cents per minute for the access in the convenience of your room (or anywhere else in the hotel), so 2 hours internet access costs you EUR 36,-

    McDonalds, on the other hand, gets it. If there is no other reason to visit McDonalds; it is the free WiFi access in all of their restaurants worldwide - no matter if you check-in to McD in New York, Beijing or Dubai. It is about the time that the international hotel chains (in all categories from budget to luxurious) also offer free WiFi in their guest rooms as a standard service.

    Sometimes, traveling outside your "home circles" can be a real eye-opener. Thank you China!
