Trip 1 - Germany

Traveling to Berlin was not much of a problem. The trip from Detroit to Amsterdam was on a 777, so I could pick the movies I watched. Didn't sleep much, and sitting near my boss for the whole time was interesting.

After landing in Berlin, we (my boss and I) had to navigate to the hotel near Leipzig. With my trusty Avis map, we got onto the Autobahn. Figured out where we were, and had no problems, but had to remember to stay in the right lanes if we were merely going 130 (kph).

The client offices are pretty cool. They are located in an area north of Lepzig call "Solar Valley". There are lots of wind turbines around and a field of solar panels. The office buildings even have solar panels on 3 sides.


Working consisted of lots of meetings and long hours. At 1 pm, the rest of the company on the east coast came to work, and some people though we should work the rest of the east coast day also.

Anyway, we finished all the work we needed on Friday, and drove up to Berlin to spend the night - ready for an early morning flight to Malaysia.
