The New Year Has Certainly Begun
On Wednesday the 2nd I started at Microsoft again after a nice Christmas holiday. This also marked the day of the remaining three 3 NG’s. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday consisted mainly of introductions to all things Microsoft, and playing catch up. The reason: on Sunday we had to leave for two weeks of training in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Training began this Monday, and the first 5 days are on C# and .NET. Since I know this stuff already I’m prepping for my next exam 70-526 on WinForms. Currently I have one remaining chapter, and then going to do practice tests, and read up on my weak topics.
Today I took a walk around Utrecht and realized how homogenous Europe is becoming. Most of the shops you find in Utrecht are the same as those in most Danish cities. The brand and signature shops are all here. Furthermore JCDecaux are also here for sign and busstop advertisement management. I suspect they were probably here before Denmark because of the name and the Netherlands vicinity to France. But anyway.
And although the streets seem a replica of a Danish one, there are big differences. One example is the wreckless driving attitude of both cardrivers and bicyclists.
Tomorrow we’ll be driving up to Amsterdam for the weekend. Should be fun, I’ve never been there.
