Kiwi Reggae

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 20:53:00 +0000

Title sounds weird, no?
However, not only Jamaicans can make reggae - even Down Under in New Zealand they can, and pretty good too!

Our Future Prime Minister Leterme

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Wed, 01 Aug 2007 09:45:00 +0000

As you all may have heard our Prime Minister made a little (?) mistake on our national holiday by singing the French national anthem. As a result, lots of jokes go around, like the one above!

London Terror

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 21:12:00 +0000

Again, Great Brittain, and London especially is under the reign of terror. When arriving this morning in Waterloo Station, all seemed still OK, but as soon as I popped above ground in Aldgate I noticed the nervousness in the City. Controle of vehicles drivinginto the city, armed police men ...

Will try to post some photos over the next couple of days!

the sweetest thing...

Slang

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Tue, 08 May 2007 20:06:00 +0000

Having worked for some time now in Britain, I still get amazed of the richness of the language. Last week I received an e-mail from a colleague telling me he wanted "to have a butcher at it!"

What the hell did he want? I was surely not discussing about meat or cooking. It only took me minutes before my helpful colleagues introduced me to the Cockney Rhyming Slang.

It's all about Rhyming your way around. So where did the butcher came from? Butchers - Butchers Hook - Hook - Look. So what he meant was, lets have a look!

And guess what! There is plenty more!

e.g. Bees (Bees and Honey)? - Money!
or "Aw me Jelly's vibrating" (Jelly Bone) - Phone

can you guess these?
"Pick up the Dog "?
"Beg your Osama" ?
"What's wrong wiv yer Britney's luv"

Let me know!

London City @ weekends

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Mon, 07 May 2007 20:37:00 +0000

I've always expected the "city" to be very quite, but the first sunday ever I worked in London's Business District, I could not believe how quite it can get. No pub, no restaurant, no Starbucks, nothing. Only good old Subways. It provided us with food, coffees and cookies.

On my way out, i discovered a statue near Canon Street that show's who rules the city... The ever busy Corporate Employe. Well, except weekends!! ;-)

Office Move

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Wed, 02 May 2007 19:04:00 +0000

Ahh, lots of issues and so, but we are getting there.

Have a peak at our new office!

This is the "Ops Area". My seat will be near these big boxes!

And below how the desk will look like...

And my true window view!

Welcome to Aldgate

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Tue, 01 May 2007 19:35:00 +0000

Today I unexpectedly spent my full first day in our new Aldgate office. I must say, despite the fact there was hardly any furniture and people still fitting out the place, I felt at home.

Also was surprised how close to "the Gurking" we are. Just so you know, this is my window view - well - almost :)

Back (again)

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 11:10:00 +0000

I've spent very little time in London lately which resulted in a poor update of my Blog. But not to worries! I'll be soon back, and we move our offices from Leicester Square (the very heart of the west-ends) to Aldgate. So expect some updates on how life is in The City!!!

Comedy Club

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 21:24:00 +0000

Should have done this ages ago, but finally managed to do this: Visit a Comedy Club. About 6 stand-up comedians were making fun of themselves, the news and especially the audience. If you ever get to come to London do go visit them!

Crush the Turtle

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 22:04:00 +0000

As promised some of the highlights of our Diving Trip in Egypt .

One of the most impressive moments are when you get to swim side by side with this magnificent prehistoric animal: The sea turtle

It must be said, the creators of Pixar's Finding Nemo had an excellent eye for the characters of these animals, don't you think?

If you want to see more pictures of the wild live we saw, let me know !

Oxford

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 21:43:00 +0000

If you ever have some spare time when visiting London (yeah - I know), you should consider hopping on a train (make sure you use www.thetrainline.com) and visit Oxford!

It's lovely!!!

You also walk into the locations that inspired the Harry Potter movies, like the Christ Church College!

And the Railway Station is just like that one in Leuven: full of student bikes!!

Saint Patrick's Day in London

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 18:28:00 +0000

Today was London's St Patrick's Day Event, and the whole of Trafalgar Square, Leicester Square and Covent Garden could have been Dublin. Everywhere Green items and Irish Flags!

Battersea Peace Park

noreply@blogger.com (Jan) — Sun, 18 Mar 2007 18:17:00 +0000

Also London has one of the now almost 80 Peace Pagodas, and you can find it in Battersea Park! It is a Buddhist Pagoda built as shrine for world peace, the first ever built are in Hiroshima and Nagasaki...
