I have just had the most extraordinarily diverse cultural month of my life, revolving around four presentations on four topics in four continents.  Please do ask if you would like a copy of the slides from any of them.  They were on:

• Global fruit juice trends, presented in China
• Global bottled water trends, presented in Brazil
• Potential for bio packaging, presented in Italy
• 20 beverage trends for the next 20 years, presented in the United States.

In between, I managed to visit the Great Wall of China and the Grand Canyon, with time for an original da Vinci in Florence and an exhibition of his engineering in Las Vegas.

Next week, I’m in a fifth continent for a fifth topic – Cape Town on global dairy opportunities, this time chairing an industry forum rather than presenting.
