The gang at Toyota Motor Europe organized a welcome dinner for me at Knossos, a highly recommended Greek restaurant in Brussels. As is the custom at Toyota, any excuse to go out and celebrate on the company's dime is a very popular and highly anticipated event.
Two Senior Vice Presidents from Toyota USA just happened to be passing through town, so I asked them to join us for dinner. My European colleagues were very impressed that these two high-level executives came all the way to Belgium to attend my welcome dinner!!! (I didn't tell them that it was really because of the free meal...)
The appetizers were wonderful, the meats were grilled right next to our table and we finished the meal with an assortment of desserts, served family style. And of course, plenty of beer and wine.
I finished off my meal with a Turkish coffee (ugh!) and performed the designated driver duties for my two VIP guests.
Many thanks to all of my coworkers for planning and attending this wonderful evening. You have truly made me feel welcome here in Brussels!
