Last year I visited Utrecht where we installed some MySQL Cluster. This week I had the chance to attend a training (again MySQL Cluster) in Leiden. Tuesday I had a good excuse to visit Amsterdam and next day Leiden.

Both Amsterdam and Leiden have all these canals which were preserved unlike in Brussels where they actually made the river run under the city (stupid).. I did in both cities a tour on the water but Leiden won. I guess it was more romantic and I had lots of colleagues on the boat too.

One can actually get easy lost in Leiden, or I guess everywhere, but I just lost my colleagues whiles looking at some vinyl shops and old turntables (drool). That was the start of some 3 hours of interesting stuff..

Tomorrow I leave The Netherlands again for Germany after spending some weeks with my family in Belgium. I wonder how cluttered my mailbox is going to be.

(pictures will be posted later for those that care..)
