Day 0 - being a Pascal and Lua fan, I prefer 1-based counting, but as usual for an eurotrip from Brazil, it actually starts the day before. Just flew POA-GIG. Flight departed a few mins late, which made my tight-ish connection even tighter. But the GIG-AMS flight had a similar delay, so all is well!

Two people have already complimented my Firefox T-shirt.

Boarding a KLM flight from Brazil: the further back in the plane you go, the less Dutch people look.

Day 1 - Arrived in Amsterdam. On the train to my hotel, I spotted a young British couple, and she was actually using a paper map (one of those touristy ones you get at a kiosk or hostel). That was a nostalgic sight, from back when I used to rely on those to find my way around! Google Maps is convenient, but less poetic.

Day 2 - woke up way too late, lunch in Amsterdam (to the sound of Brazilian bossa nova!), then train to Brussels with Jack, where I ran into @catwell 's brother (a sign that it's a small world when we FOSS people get together!). Dinner with friends and we finished the night at the Delirium, where I had at last a pint of Red. Typing this from the bus on my way to hotel and I'm making way too many typos...I hope I'm not hung over tomorrow for the conference! Looking forward to the morning waffles!

Day 3 - So... this just happened!

I guess I need a new profile picture (or a haircut? 😆), because @Gargron didn't recognize me at first, but he definitely did when he asked to see my profile pic (just kidding! ...plus it was a lot easier to recognize him in front of that banner!)
