2012 Reflections





A magnificent 2012. Again, plenty of highs.

Travels:
January Shanghai/Ningbo
June/July Amsterdam/France
Sept/October Germany/Italy

Concerts wise, Roxette was pretty much the top of the year. With Lisa Ono flopping and Sting very good.

Wines, pretty hard to match this year, with visits to Champagne, Burgundy, Piendmonte with mentions to DRC (yes...we were there!), Munier, Gaja and many more.

Italy 2012 brought many more 'ticks' in the bucket list. Going flat out on Monza F1 circuit (in a MacLaren MP4-12C), visits to Paganni, Lamboghini factories and Ferrari museums, driving a race trim F430 in a race track, eating spaghetti 'bolognase', drinking coffee in Milan and more!

Other mentions is the opening of RDP retail store in Funan, after months and months of preparation, it has finally become reality and we have a long 2013 to go!

Olympics 2012 was awesome, Bolt did the impossible-to-repeat-in-this-lifetime triple, Armstrong was stripped of his 7-time, one of the most grippling F1 seasons, as well as BPL with Man City beating Man U in the final seconds of the league. Paquaio losing finally. One FC,UFC and MMA in general throwing up plenty of great matches. Sports doesn't get more crazy in a calender year.

What's there to look forward in 2013? More hybrid cameras, more sporting clashes, more great wines, great business ventures.

*CLINK* Cheers!
