September 29th I headed off to Bristol to do a training with the staff there, along with agents from Cardiff and Bath who came over for the session.

The staff were super cool and aside from some pizza-ordering challenges the session went off without a hitch! There were definitely some future CSR champions in the group :)

In keeping with my all-work and no-play makes me a dull boy mentality, I went for a long walk to explore the city a bit before the session. Bristol was definitely one of those cities where right from the first moment I got a good vibe, but it was really difficult to peg down exactly why I liked it.

Bristol reminded me a lot of Brussels, which I visited for about 23 hours last September. Everyone I ever talkto about Brussels seems to think it's nothing special. I don't get it, I loved Brussels! I would move to Brussels tomorrow if I had the opportunity. And Bristol reminded me very much of Brussels. I can foresee a conversation sometime in my near future where I'll be telling someone how much I like Bristol and they'll reply, "meh, it's nothing special." Who, knows.

| I really loved the way the light bounced off all the buildings in the afternoon. The only other city I visited that had a comparable twilight effect was Manchester. |
I was sad to leave so soon, but I had to get back that night, for a had a very busy next couple days back in London!
Cheers,

PS - I can't believe I fly home in a week--yikes!
PPSS - Thanks again Helen (or was it Ellen? lol) for giving me a ride to the train station after the session!!
