Vacation in The Hague

I'm back to Brussels after almost a week in The Hague.

I decided to take a week off from my PC and the setting around me. Last days before the 14th of July I was preparing the defense of the internship at Institute Jules Bordet. IMHO, I successfully defended my work though not everything went smoothly but it's another story. Lucy and I celebrated my graduation from ESI really humbly. We went to a place famous for the quality of their fries (frieten). I don't remember the name of place but if you're curious where it is click here. It's something called like frietjes at Jourdanplein.

After some research, the name of the place is Maison Antoine.

Anyways, I was a wee bit disappointed with the quality. It was just too greasy for me. We took only fries and nothing else. After 5 minutes of enjoying those fries and having eaten only the 3rd of the packet, I felt like I would most probably not be able to finish even the half of the frietjes mountain. And I didn't. I even couldn't finish my glass of white beer. It tasted badly and it was not a Hoegaarden. So after having fueled ourselves with some unhealthy food mixed with some beer, we left the Jourdanplein and went back home through light rain.

The day was over and I felt free. For the 1st time since a long time I had nothing to worry about. No more slow servers, no more writing, no need to find a workaround for an old Internet Explorer 6 bug. It was time to go off-line for a moment. I didn't sleep enough the previous days so I went to bed like normal people do at 0:30 A.M.

The next morning I was called by ESI's librarian who said that "Le rapport" (nearly 1000 pages) should be printed 3 times. One for the school, one for I can't remember who, and one for the enterprise. To print 1000 pages on a fast printer takes about 30 minutes under condition that there's enough paper. Fortunately there was enough though not easily accessible. So I quickly went to DynaPrint to bind 4 volumes of my report. I paid something like 25 euros for binding 3 small and one big volumes and for printing 4 covers in color. IMHO, it was a bit expensive. You pay for Flemish support probably 'coz the place is run by Flemish.

I was done with DynaPrint at 11:00 A.M. and left the place for the school, where I dropped the 2nd copy of "Le rapport" and then walked to the Institute to tidy up my bureau and turn off the development system (PC at work).

I talked a bit to William, Koffi, Ranga and Philippe, each time tête-à-tête.
