Damn, I forgot about *this* page
Right, let’s recap, what has happened in the meantime.
Well, it’s 2009:
- financial crisis, one like we’ve never seen before
- Obama won the elections.
- John Thain redecorated his office.
- Russian-Georgian war happened. Crap.
- Also, G20 Summit happened, which was nothing more, than a really expensive soap. Sarkozy almost cried. Germans killed all the buzz. And the cheeky turks got the most out of it all.
- Eastern European economy lies in ruins, with Ukraine and Latvia tripping over themselves the hardest. Lithuania is still low-key. Hungary has had some fun with the forint and mortgage bankruptcies. And Estonia’s “soft landing” looks more and more like an attempt to land a burning Hindenburg on an speeding aircraft carrier during a storm.
- Oh, right, Woolworths is gone.
- I am back in HH.
- Americans try to woo the turks, while Putin prepares a government hostile takeover of AvtoVAZ from RENAULT.
- The chinese deploy GhostNet to spy on Dalai Lama.
And we’re right smack in the middle! Wonderful.
