Time went away like anything. It was nice talking to so many delegates. It’s really nice to know that they all are interested in talking to [...]

from Taani I wouldn’t say it was a long day, but well of course productive. The ‘super’ expo, as i would call it, went off pretty well. Actually there would be scorching question while you read this, why ‘super’??? What does that suppose to mean, but don’t think too much, it has nothing to do [...]

The moment I arrived this morning, I was expecting my team to be the first to enter the ballroom. But I was surprised to find 50 visitors already here before we came. It made me more excited. The next thing on my mind was that how do I go about interviewing people and more confusing [...]

Flying Zeppelin

Enough food and drink sampling at Anuga? How about some German technology? Just outside Hall 8 of the fair, a mini Zeppelin was spotted hovering above our heads. This fascinating craft is operated by Friedrich, a 20-year-old electrical engineering undergraduate. He flies this Zepplin nine hours a day and walks about at the north entrance [...]

Happy with our bags

After we finished our interviews, we wanted to find a nice black bag, that another Tandem-Repoter had shown us. Therefore we went to Hall 7, searched everywhere but couldn’t find it.

everybody, I mean EVERYBODY, is tired...

Having spent nine hours sampling amongst more than 6.000 exhibitors at Anuga yesterday, the Tandem Reporters were absolutely worn-out. Some of us skipped breakfast in the morning due to ‘prolonged’ snoozes. Well, apparently we are not alone. As we walked from the train station to the exhibition hall, we spotted this exhausted Mr Duck. He [...]
