Attending Renewables energy conferences and exhibitions is like ironing a shirt... When you realize that the trip is approaching (or all your shirts are waiting for you in the ironing board) you start questioning yourself the added value that such activity will bring you afterward... The value of a ironed shirt (or being updated on what's going on in the wind energy industry) varies in the time lapse between the moment you realize the need of the shirt (or the trip) and the day of the meeting (or the departure). For me, it decreases slowly by time reaching a minimum and then for some magical reason it increases all of a sudden giving you the energy of actually doing the ironing (or preparing the luggage) .... But always at the last minute! :)
So, at the end I actually did both... Prepared my luggages, ironed 3 shirts and quickly I was on my way to
Manchester.
The reader should understand the challenge I was facing at that point: how to make a daily schedule In order to be sure that the hobby (wind energy) would not affect my job (reviewing pizza worldwide)... But the solution came automatically from the always smiling sales manager traveling with me... When he said: I like Italian style food, what about pizza tonight? It was difficult to answer even a simple "yes" when having in mind the 2 magical words "pizza diavola" :)
And after a while we were at Gio... crowded Italian restaurant in front of the exhibition centre. What the waiter brought in his hands didn't match the high hopes raised from his Italian origin. The perfectly round disc I had in front of me could mean two things: either a pizza man with engineering degree either the use of a flattening machine.... Or maybe both taking into consideration the lack of jobs in Italy for young skilled professionals.
However the taste was not so bad and I actually enjoyed the presence of black olives as variation to the holy recipe. I'm starting to think I'll never get disappointed from any pizza diavola :)
