Day 4 and still very nice weather in London, however it's getting colder in the morning. Just as the other 3 days I start my day with an English breakfast. Today I am discussing how to manage a Microsoft CRM implementation. It's very useful to see how my English colleagues are doing a project. We will also discuss my planning for the rest of the weeks here.

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.

Day 2 in London. Just had some breakfast and of course English Breakfast, so bacon and eggs. Yesterday the weather was very nice, sunshine and 21 degrees, but today: RAIN. So I will take a taxi to the Office. I will post my stories later on.

Lunch time and the weather in London is very nice at the moment. I'm going to work on 2 Microsoft CRM project, one international project and one project for the largest charity organization in the UK. So today I have a lot of meetings and conference calls and a lot te read.

In the evening I went to the center of London to see the British Airways London Eye, Houses of Parliament, of course the Big Ben and finally I went to Buckingham Palace. A colleague of mine said that I had to buy an Oyster Card for the underground, very cheap.

At nine o' clock I was back at the hotel and ordered some diner. I had to try the fish and chips, one word: delicious.

I will post my pictures asap when I have a faster connection to the internet then at my hotel.
