Hyves Vs. Facebook
Today I heard of colleagues in London that Microsoft wants to take over Facebook. I have no idea what Facebook was, but it's the same as Hyves in the Netherlands. So please check out Facebook also if you want to connect with people all over the world. The question now is: will Microsoft take over Hyves also???

Day 3 in London. Start the day with an English breakfast. Getting used to this hmmm. It's a 15 minutes walk from my hotel to the office. I'm still not used to the idea to look right when crossing over the street. It's funny to see all trafic on the left side of the road.
Today I had to review the hour calculations of my English colleagues. Furthermore I had a short meeting with the CRM Practice Manager of Atos Origin UK.
In the evening I went first to Piccadilly Circus. is a famous traffic intersection and public space of London's West End the City of Westminster. The Circus is particularly known for its video display and neon signs mounted on the corner building on the northern side, as well as the Shaftesbury memorial fountain and statue known as 'Eros' . After that I went to Harrod. Ladies, this is really a Whahalla for all the shopping fanatics, so men be warned and leave your creditcard at home. Of course I will post my pictures asap.

Hello,
Here is my first message from London City. Yesterday was a very busy day for me. I had some private appointments early in the morning and of course I had to help my wife with cleaning the house, otherwise she had to do this alone next week. I was able to check in on the internetsite of KLM. My plane took of from Amsterdam (Schiphol) at 17:20h, so boarding at 16:30h. I landed on Heathrow Airport at 17:10h (Local time). The taxi was arranged for me so after an hour driving (what a trafic jams on sunday!!!) I arrived at the Ibis Hotel London Euston St Pancras. Unpack my suitcase, phone with my wife:) and after that I decided to search for the Atos Origin building in the center of London. After a 30 minutes walk I finally found the buidling. I will post my pictures of the first day ASAP.

Wadlopen Holwerd - Ameland
Last saturday I went "Wadlopen" with my wife's work (SSCO). The route was from Holwerd (Friesland) to Ameland (one of the five islands of the Netherlands). The total distance is about 10 kilometre and it takes about 3 hours to walk this. The weather was a little bit cold with a strong wind (4Bf). We had to take 2 gutters. Please check the internetsite for information and pictures, http://www.wadgids.nl/.
