2010 is over, almost!

2010 is almost over and thought it's a good reason to check if my blog is still live. Apparently it is :-)

Here are few things that I probably should associate w/ 2010 over the next decade:

- 3rd year in Ireland. I'm not sure how I really feel about living in Ireland but I think on the overall I'm enjoying it so far (Do I?). Two of my closest friends have moved to Dublin this year and we've moved to a new house. One managed to make it to Google, other tried a lot too, no luck :/ But he still is in Dublin anyway ;)

- I've fully transitioned to a new team, and am now spending more and more time new Google products, particularly mobile ones, which is getting increasingly more chaotic, and "usually" translates to more fun :-)

- According to Tripit, I've travelled over 60.000 kms in 2010, to 10 countries and 12 different cities. I do like traveling but I'll probably try to make longer but less frequent trips in 2011.

- I've made my first trip to the US, to San Francisco. Unfortunately, I didn't really have any chance to the city as I was working whole week, but on the overall I think I liked it. Nothing very impressive though except the one below :-)

- I've visited Google HQ for the first time. It's incredible.

-We now have a 25% bigger but also more separate family :/ FroYo has joined us this year, probably the most ignorant dog ever. He still ignores me. Dad moved to Siberia for working in a new power plant there, my brother moved to another city to work as a teacher. And mum is still working in a hospital in Izmir. Skype is the new living room. I think I'll need to arrange a re-union sometime soon!
