The oddest workday ever

Yesterday I woke up in the morning at around 05:15 for a business trip to Paris.  I was fairly restless through the night as this opportunity could really increase my exposure to many aspects of my company.  I walked to the St. Pancras International station which very far off on the left side of the panorama you can make out a little nob, that is St. Pancras.
Met up with a co-worker, got on the Eurostar to Paris, talked about strategy for 2 hours, got off the Eurostar, took the 10 line to the 4 line to the end of the line, got off spoke some bad French to find, 'Rue de Silly', got to the Office, talked to our contact, strategized, went to lunch, had a rare burger with Foie Gras on it, went back to the office, presented to 8 or so CFO's, ended the presentation, walked back to the Metro, got on the 10 line, switched to the 4, got back to Gare Du Nord, got back on the Eurostar, came back to London.

Yah, so basically I popped over to Paris, saw nothing, had some Foie Gras, and came back... Thats the type of experience I guess can happen when you are living here...
