In Amsterdam..

15-Dec-2009: I am finally where i should be as far as the job is concerned. I am supposed to look for clients in NL, Nordics and parts of Swiss, sometimes i wonder how and other times i look forward to it.
However, for now i want to write abt the daily happenings in my life. Maybe, ill also capture thots later, but as of now...its more of a day in my life.

Dec 15: Arrived in Paris early mrng CET. The immigration was surprisingly very very smooth and hassle free. No stickers. A lady asked for permission to check my bag (i was amongst the very few picked) and just opened the bag, glanced at the top and closed it back). Had a 5 hr wait at CDG, bought a 1 hr internet card (what else can i do!! sometimes m bored of things i do). The speed sucked, the broadband at home was so much better. Anyways, took another flight for AMS arnd 1 and was here in an hr. Did all what the "Bok" said at the airport...the photocopies of the passport, photos for the IND appoinmtment the next day and finally took a cab to Htel - the Business Suites for the expats! Got the top (13th floor :P) floor suite. Big and nice and comes with a kitchen (do i need it?). Happy with the suite. Took a stroll in the evening and picked up some stuff from the supermarket including my dinner for the day - chicken sandwich.
Came back and asked the receiption for the ways to reach Amsterdam centraal the next morning from where i have to take the train to Rijswick for the IND appointment.
Oh, btw, the room also has braodband internet :D, but wired :(. So, caught up on all the mail including the official ones.
