Invitation to France

I got an e-mail from Sampo today which a very welcomed message: an invitation to Microsoft's Connect 2006 event in Nice, France in the middle of March. Naturally, I'm thankful for these kind of invitations, and decided to register the same day.

I'm happy to visit France as I haven't visited that country before. Plus, Nice in March is probably quite much warmer than Helsinki in March. :-) The only problem with the trip is that I don't have a valid passport at the moment, for I let it to expire on purpose, namely to wait for the new biometric passports. But no problem, one can get a new passport in about two weeks.
