1. Day: Friday
I was able to join the “007”-Event ! Dear Secret Agents... As you may
know: You only live twice !
Of course it was a “Secret Event”, we
only got more information while joining Tea-Time and an “Agent’s Briefing”
which started 5:00 p.m. in the hotel. James Maxwell from Swatch UK welcomes
everyone, Patrick Jaron (“Deputy”) Head of Swatch Club International did a
speech and introduced Lynn Bolton from "Head of Heights". This Company did most of
the work for the event.
An “Agent Instructor” named 5 (or even
6 ? – I’m not sure, be patient) Team-Leaders and we should divide into this
Teams. A lot of nationalities were in my Group: Team-Leader Dutch, other
countries such as Austria, Slovenia, Spain and Portugal were also involved.
Should I represent the BND or “only” Germany ? Well, the first is not official… Also
Malaysia (!) was represented. Hopefully I don’t forget a Nation. Totally
international and only one aim: having fun and maybe be better than the other
groups in the tasks following tomorrow. Yellow team for foreign affairs J. Of course also French Agents, English Ladies and Gentlemen, Italian
(Secret-Service-)Members were arrived in London. Now I think I named a lot of
Nations, if anyone will complain his Nation is missing – drop me a line. But –
hey… we’re all human (or is mankind the right word) and we’re living in the 21.
century, so is it really important which Nationality you may have ? Ok… the
Swiss are really special J.
A lot of Nationalities living in
London, capital city of the Commonwealth, and we went to a sightseeing-tour in
this great metropolis by “cabriolet-busses” as next part of the program. Supper
were given in a Picnic-basket while this tour… we all were very hungry, not
only because of the feeling, we all want a second basket because SWATCH is
printed on the lid ! Chicken salad with Green Beans, Olives, Capers and Baby
Tomatoes “with a touch of Chilli Dressing” (really ? – I don’t remember it
spicy !), also Bulgar Wheat Salad with Red Pepper, Cucumber, Mint and Sunflower
Seeds stands on the menu-card. Well, believe this, I don’t want to look in the dictionary
if this is really the menu. As dessert white chocolate and hazelnut brownies
were given. Mixed everything with exhaust emission… really bad traffic in this
town. But best weather… so the prejudice is/was wrong and the umbrella we
received with the welcome package was only to protect for the sun.
Joining a traditional English Pub (we
do had an excellent insider in our group… you all know him from a Swatch
advertising campaign…) the evening ended. And you know when the pub close in
Great Britain ?! It was in this case not the worst thing, because…
Saturday we had to stand up very early in the
morning… read
