Lots of work

Not that much is happening these days. We wake up, have our breakfast and head to the office. We assist the customer, have lunch and head home (cross the street again). Fortunately there's a lot of places if you're looking for a nice dinner. Today we ate Italian on South Bank. But after that, it's back to work. Communicating with our office, performing fixes and preparing demo's for the next day.

Some local colleagues promised they would show us around and take us out for steak. We also got some good tips for the weekend.

One of the bridges in town (of practically the only highway that leads here) is damaged, causing huge traffic jams and it's the main subject of the day. It's not the bridge that you see in this picture but if you look closely (click to enlarge) you can actually see the highway by the side of the river.


The following picture shows the consequences of advanced advertising (video-screens with speakers). In the front you see the crossing that leads to our office (this is where pedestrians sometimes stop for cars and today we had the privilege of doing it ourselves).

All day long there's a constant noise. No big deal, but during the night it can really keep you awake. More so because the windows are single-layered and they don't close completely. Today we went on a quest and it turned out to be a huge turbine in the middle of the square across the street (the square you can see in the last picture). We believe it's the air co system for the underground food court.

Next, we have another view of South Bank. It think they paid a significant amount of money to whoever designed this pathway. (click to enlarge)


Now, where exactly are we?
The yellow arrow points at our hotel window. (click to enlarge)

Definitly not a holiday .. it's 11:33 pm and we are finally done for the day .. 7 hours of sleep and back to the office again. It was a beautifull day outside but except for dragging our tired asses to southbank and having a nice lunch we didn't see much of it.
