Gosh time is flying and  2009 was very reach in new things I learned both professionally and personally. I moved last year from London to Lima in Peru and without surprise it was also a big change.

So what I learned in 2009 :

1. Not having to wear socks all year is very enjoyable, as much as getting tanned in December..and spending new year eve in the beach
2. The Peruvian food is so rich that it get you fatter unless you exercise well, which is one of my 2010 plan
3. I can leave without phone for 6 months. But when I came back to use a Blackberry with a proper 3G connection I just love it again.
4. It’s weird, sometimes revolting to live in a country where there’s no middle class
5. Corruption and lack of education are the main ingredient of 3rd world countries
6. 3rd world country or emerging country are full of opportunities
7. But you cannot go into it until you fully understand the way it’s work , the culture etc..
8. SEO is very very boring but necessary.
9. I really can’t live without  Internet but I can survive with a tiny 1Mb connection speed. Well I try
10. although it’s hard to work 15 000km from your main market.

I wish you all a very happy new year. Look after yourself and be happy !!
