Fun, Eindhoven style

Well there’s not much to do in Eindhoven (other than eat at one of the six million restaurants that seem to be nearby), so Jen organized a bowling tournament for the audit team. To even out the numbers, she invited her boyfriend Joep (he’s Dutch) and his friend Kevin (also Dutch).

Needless to say, the guys turned out to be secret good bowlers, and totally whipped our butts. Good fun though.

And… some things never change. Bowling shoes are ugly all over the world!

Working in Eindhoven

We had to leave early, so that we could get there on time (and everytime we go somewhere we're going to have to estimate the length of time it'll take and then add an hour of getting lost time)






And so, of course, we got lost. We were roughly an hour late to Eindhoven, but the incharge wasn’t too worried about it. Her name is Jen, she’s Australian, and she’s been working in Amstelveen for over a year. She told us that the first time she drove to Eindhoven from Amstelveen she got horribly, terribly lost and drove straight past Eindhoven and ended up in Maastricht, which is way further south.

We are working here in Eindhoven on a Philips Electronics special project, and staying in a hotel. When we arrived, it still had all its Christmas decorations on.
