Amman and its down town area, the Roman Amphitheatre and Citadel))) Interesting and sad...is this humanity?

Spending some time chillaxing, mainly finding head space, pacing through parks, exploring the city and catching up with friends...

Ok, things have happened tooo fast. First it was back to Russia, then to Dubai to pitch our venture, then Russia for just a few more days toward the contract expiry and winding down as we suspended the funds to further finance this venture. Its on hold, markets are not great and investors are holding back.

Fine, not a huge problem though raising $6mil for some is like spare change... it would have been fun starting this retail brokerage, but the opportunity is not forfeited...my longer term interest would have been equity participation with a conservative stable base remuneration just to cover the cost. I'd consider myself quite reasonable with those expectations, not to bite the hand that feeds yet surely not to miss out on a good meal.

And thus, I think the appropraite word is stumbling... wrapped up quickly, sadly. Had a great few nights with Lina, dinners, museums, clubs with friends... she has great energy, beaming personality... and her fun (tiny!) friend Luba)))
