I am traveling in Europe – Switzerland and Slovenia – at the moment, exploring business opportunities and gathering a feel for the economic climate in Western and Central Europe. (I also have a more official relationship with Slovenia as I represent this picture-pretty country diplomatically in South Africa – as Honorary Consul. Click here for the Consulate website and some amazing photographs.)

The downside is that blog posting will be slow (and totally absent on some days) for most of the time while I am on the road. The normal blogging service will be resumed on my return to Cape Town on October 16.

However, I will be “tweeting” regularly throughout my trip, posting short comments (maximum 140 characters) on topical market issues, and also on my personal whereabouts. You can “follow me” on Twitter by clicking here. You may also consider joining me as a friend on Facebook.
