Ce n’est pas une nouvelle, ça date d’environ un an, et ça vient de chez moi, du Costa Rica. Il s’agit d’une carte bleue, verte. Depuis fin 2010, l’une des cinq banques d’État, le Banco Nacional, propose à ses clients une carte de débit “verte”. On connaît tous les couleurs traditionnelles : argent, or, platine, black, … Alors, qu’est-ce qu’elle a de si spécial cette carte “verte” ?/2007/02/28/crossing-oceans-part-ii-the-return/Wed, 28 Feb 2007 16:34:17 +0000/2007/02/28/crossing-oceans-part-ii-the-return/So, here I am, preparing to go back to Paris.

There was lots of work to do last week: a full schedule of meetings last Monday and Tuesday and after that, a less-full schedule of family to meet until today, as well as a passport to make.

I’ll post now, and you can read everything about me leaving in the next entry ;) I am sitting on the floor in Barajas airport in Madrid right now. It’s 09:24 local time and the airport is as empty as they get. This entry will not be posted right away though. I have no intention (or the means) to pay 5€ for 30 minutes of wireless Internet access (I’ll talk about this again later.
