Closing stages

Hi peeps! Small update again!
Last weeks I haven't been really active, at work it's mostly helping out where I can and working on my report for the university. On the social side it's getting better and better though.

We went to Cambridge, a 3pm till 12 pm pub visit tour! This was the best night out here by a long shot, and I have some really stupid pictures somewhere! I'll try and find em and post them here. Robin came over from Holland especially for this, and I think we made it count!

Next week is gonna be really busy though! I have been assigned a project for logisitics, looking at a cheaper way to do it, so basically make it more efficient. This should be really interesting, and I'm looking forward to do it! Also, I'm going out with logistics and with Lewis to chicago's (some disco in Kings Lynn).

This is it, I'm getting myself a decent coffee now! I'll post something better in the following days!

Edit: Some pictures here!

Cambridge and more

I figured, it's time for a new blog update! I know you're all dying to hear more of my journeys here!

Last weekend, my mother and Carel came over to England to say hi. It ended up being a really busy weekend, but fun nonetheless (2 bad Hamilton won though). SO! On saturday we went to Cromer, Great Yarmouth and afterwards to Cambridge. On sonday we went to visit Wouter in Cranfield, see how he was doing and we went to the mall and afterwards to Cambridge again (to watch F1 in an English pub). Here are some pictures
On the left you see Cromer, with the cliffs down to the see. The top left is the harbour of Great Yarmouth (this is were Carel used to be stationed on the Smithloid 9 or something) and on the right a college in Cambridge with some scenery in the foreground.


Left is a bar in Cambridge on saturday evening. Top left is Wouters Mansion in Cranfield. And on the right at the university in Cranfield itself.




Then the rest of the week. This week was with the sales guys, that meant traveling around the country and visiting them! Train journeys were horrible but lunch made up for that ^^ Pizza hut rules.

Anyway we went to: Peterborough, Ely, Huntingdon, Leicester, Birmingham and some more places. Looking around supermarkets and calling customers if they wanted orders etc. All-in-all interesting.. but we didn't play golf:(

then on Wednesday, Bens birthday! Ben is the other intern at pinguin and we had to celebrate his birthday. So we decided to go to the globe and afterwards to go to Chicago. I don't think Ben had a lot of fun since he was Face down sleeping inside Chicago (that's a disco with a lot of noise). What an accomplishment!

That's it for now!

Ciao
