Everyone had a pleasant night being
friendly and nice, enjoying their good
food. I have been going to the
Turkish Consulate for many years,
besides other Consulates. In fact, I was
invited to one of their celebrations of
the last day of Ramadan which I enjoyed
thoroughly and ate lots of sweets. Thank
you once again for your nice
invitations.
Before the Turkish Consulate
we had go to the Austrian Consulate
first because they were also having an

and socialized with the other guests.
But we could not stay too long so I
promised the guests from Vienna,

explores the intersections of climate
change, digital technologies,
decentralized justice, and new
governance structures. And Ms. Katja
Otter who works with ABA (INVEST WORK

we go to Vienna next year to interview
them for the Magazine. Thank you also to
the lovely Stephanie Martin-Loike,
President of the Austrian - American
Council East for their friendly
reception where everyone was so pleasant
and friendly. My long-time friend: Award
Winning Opera Singer: Cristina
Fontanelli also came - I asked her to
stay at the Austrian Consulate. So that
