Post title: Weekend/Next Week

I could make some time this Sunday afternoon/evening, or even any afternoon Tues-Fri. I'm right near a train line that goes straight to South Bank/CBD, so either of those locations would actually be a little better for me than the originally suggested Indooroopilly. Just say the word!

What about this weekend? Alternatively, next week?

Post title: Afternoons...

Since I work nights (often awake till 6am), it's generally very difficult for me to get anywhere before 2 or 3 in the afternoon. Sometimes I can take time off from work - evenings - but probably not any time in the very near future because of I've now got two rather involved projects on my plate.

I have plans for this coming Monday afternoon (Dec. 19), but other than that I should be relatively flexible as far as afternoons go, and possibly more flexible for evenings after the Xmas holiday. Of course, after the holidays the weekends will be a little freer as well - after 2pm :-)

Could we possibly find another time and place to suit everyone? Though I will be busy from 3pm to 4pm on that day.

Hi there,
I will be back on Friday - free to meet any day next week except 14/12 and may be 13/12 also (how about 15/12?). I live in taringa so both indooroopilly and UQ locations are fine to me.

Is it possible if you can arrange the Powwow on December 13-15? I misremembered the return flight to Brisbane, thought it was Dec. 11.

Post title: Potential venue suggestion

The venue I suggest is Pigs and Whistle inn (a quiet place) at 'Indooroopilly Shoppingtown - very convenient for people from interstate, as there are buses and trains coming here. Another is University of Queensland Staff Club, in St. Lucia, but I must check to make sure they allow outsiders (actually my sister gets invited here every time she comes back here from the US). I am an alumnus there, but there are numerous alumni. Another place is Boucher or Three Girls Skipping at Graceville, 365 Honour Ave., opposite the Graceville railway statiion. YOu just catch the Ipswich/Richlands line (all stations) from the City or airport.

Post title: Alzheimer issue

Oh yes, about this issue. of course, it can be used everywhere, especially when newly arrived Russians in Australia come here and after some time they develop the condition. It is only an idea, not quite a project, and interpreting / translation is essential in this area.

I think we've 'met' on-line. I am your local payment contact, but I prefer the translation part. I will ask an Australian professor whether he needs any Russian historical documents translated. He's doing research on Vietnamese history, but this is intertwined with Russia during the 1940s when Stalin was in power. Maybe this might lead to somewhere, but not so sure. Look forward to see ing you.

Post title: I just had a 'simple' translation / interpreting idea already!

Hi all,

This is not too complicated and involves medical / community care, which can be extended beyond Australia. It can be extended to Europe, the US, UK and Asia. It involves Alzheimer's disease as I have a parent with this condition and believe me, it is very serious. It gets to the stage when language is involved and the person cannot communicate and gets lost, and you do need to cater for the person's needs. Also, I love to introduce other people to my European work contact because sometimes I'm too busy to take up the work to help him. Or alternatively, I need some help myself.

Great! I am leaving for Melbourne and then Japan and will be back in Brisbane after December, 10. Let's see who else is interested and then decide on the date and time. I will be really glad to share experiences. I am starting up a freelance translation business - so any advice will be highly appreciated.
