Seems the list members are primarily from North America.
Myself from Bombay, India. Travelled quite a bit with in India, but it was
always
exciting. Work used to take quite some time ofcourse, but,
in India we have the chance to socialize with colleagues working on the same
projects...
And i believe, to really know and have fun in a new city,
gotta meet people and go to the commercial areas rather than places of
historical and tourist interest.
BTW, can anybody tell me, what would be the work profile of a typical list
participant be???
Regards,

Business travel sucks. I spent a week in Boston. Or so I'm told. Instead
of seeing historic sites or meeting interesting people, I saw my hotel
room, the convention room floor, and the street between them. I got to go
to one restaurant that wasn't a chain restaurant, and I could see the John
Hancock Building from my hotel room, but if it hadn't been a business trip,
it would have been much more interesting.
My wife, a former consultant for PeopleSoft, has spend months in South
Dakota, in Texas, in Pasadena. She even went to Singapore for a series of
business meetings. She reports that, really, hotel rooms look the same no
matter where you are. And, honestly, after ten or twelve hours working,
you are really too exhausted at night to do any sort of sightseeing.
I spent six months in Portland, Oregon, working on a development
project. I hear it's a nice town.
