Discovering the AI office

There were still 3 more things I wanted to do during my first day here in Rotterdam:
> meet Kiko and Abhisek
> visit the AI office
> sit in the PAI chair:-)
Let’s go…

Everything turned out to be quite easy, as Kiko and Abhisek were just having an IT meeting with MCPs at the office. Ildi had to study, so I was given a precise handmade map and got out!
It was a typical Dutch afternoon: neither sunny, nor rainy. Generally there is a lot of fountains and water birds around, which create relaxed and fresh environment.

It didn’t take a long time to find an ordinary-looking office building. Each floor is a seat of different company and is represented by a different street number – 4th floor, Teilingerstraat 126, is the seat of AIESEC International.

According to my first impressions, the office looked larger than in the virtual tour. It might be caused by the missing ping pong table, which has been substituted by several tables of (not only) GN directors, who need to be at the office during the transition period.
We had a dinner together with Kiko and Abhisek and went out to the centre.

...well, it hasn't been mentioned in the comment, but it seems so, as I cannot imagine finishing the project before IC and I'm too busy in autumn to continue afterwards. But the main phase hasn't begun yet, we will see:)
