Attending the
Microsoft TechEd EMEA 2008.
I’ll be blogging about the TechEd sessions, and the overall journey.
After almost 4 hours waiting in between flights in Frankfurt airport (
yawn...) I grabbed a taxi from the Airport to my hotel. The ride included some new interesting insight to the local people – or at least the taxi drivers. Along with a lot of singing, yelling at the pedestrians, signaling other drivers on the road - and what sounded like Spanish cursing (because of all the one-way streets leading to my hotel), the chauffeur finally made it to the
Confortel Barcelona hotel.
The hotel is somewhat futuristic compared to all the other hotels I’ve stayed in. A very stylish and minimalistic look dominates the place along with a snazzy looking room too. Note that the minibar
IS free – that gives points in my book.
20:30
foooood! Incarcerated in the Frankfurt airport, the selection of nutrition is fairly limited. Looking forward to enjoying a real meal, I checking the area not far from the hotel, and found a small place called La Emperatriz, where I ordered a well proportioned steak (since it’s my birthday :-), enjoyed the feast to the fullest.
I’ll be checking up on the TechEd sessions tomorrow morning – it’s my understanding, a lot of new sessions has been added – among sessions about
Windows 7, which could be very interesting to attend to.
Enough for me today, see you tomorrow.
