The end of June and the first half of July 2005 saw us taking a trip to the United States, visiting some of the East Coast with our dear friends the Carrolls. Pictures with captions are here. At least one of my blog entries talks about this more, too.

I spent the 2003/2004 academic year in Luxembourg, attending a Master's programme called Impalla. The account in pictures of this excellent experience can be found in several places: my own online album comprises only my personal experience (my host family and local friends), while other accounts better describe what living and working there was like (these albums courtesy of Marre):

• http://public.fotki.com/impalla is chronologically the first album;
• http://public.fotki.com/impalla2 is the second;
• http://public.fotki.com/leuven gives a little insight into what my colleagues and I were up to while away from Luxembourg for a month (in Leuven).

Or have a look at the photo album of our stopover in Prague, in April 2004 (just after defending my PhD)!

Click the picture for the illustrated story of my trip to Tokyo in December 2000, which I greatly enjoyed. I went there to a conference organized by the World Bank's GDN.
