Art Vacation in Cannes

Hello, it's my third day in cannes for MIPTV08, the annual worldwide tv event that takes place in this beautiful city of southern france. i have a bit of jetlag still, don't know why. i usually don't get this when in my 15+ years of travelling. may be i just have too much on my mind with people i miss, tv, bamblu and baiyok.

the best thing about cannes is meeting old friends and new people from all over the world. this time i've made good contacts with people from ireland, india, uk, nyc, hungary, german, just to name a few. my new friends are not just from the tv realm. they are doing some of the most dramatic projects, advocating significant changes to how we live, work and learn.

from formats to branded entertainment, from software to education, from co-productions to financing, from interactive web applications to social communities, there is just so much to take in.

perhaps one could easily assume that the biggest return on all this is money. i thought so too until a group of irish men shed some light on me last night after we had our four kilkennys. being a true gentleman in every way of life, work and relationship is the ultimate goal of living. softness is strenght, arrogance is weakness.

ciao
