Doing expense reports is the bane of my existence. I was just reminded of this while spending a tidy couple of hours doing expenses for the past 6 weeks. Ugh. I wish there were an easy-to-use app on my Blackberry that I could use to help track expenses during downtime in cabs, airports, stations, etc. and easily have that formatted and exported into a spreadsheet. Yes, I could whip out my laptop but that's not very practical. Or perhaps an app like this already exists?
When I first moved to London, I was amazed by how cosmopolitan it was – I met people from New Zealand, Oz, Hungary, Iceland and even Samoa in my first couple of weeks. I realized that I'd been taking it for granted. I was reminded of this last night when I went to a party and hung out with an acquaintance from Ghana and met another person who could only describe herself as "European" (german + french citizenship whose father grew up in Portugal). It makes for fascinating conversations and new perspectives, and something that, I think, also reflects in the startups that emerge from Europe that tend to have a more global outlook (skype and spotify most readily come to mind).
