Day 0
We (Bharath, Chen, Johnny ) landed in Amsterdam in the morning by 10:30 am, took a train from there to Den Haag, got down at Den haag central, walked about 15 minutes (1 KM ) to reach the hotel, checked in to hotel, rested for a while then went out to roam around, had dinner outside.
Good to see lots of bicycle lovers, canal and surrounded greenery, cold wind, drizzles some times though it’s summer here.
First experience of transparent shower and bathroom door doesn’t close completely, close to 1 inch gap remains left
Day 1
I got up early, had awesome break fast, headed to conference venue which is in Den haag HS, 10 minutes walk from hotel, registered for conference on front desk, got a cool usb drive, bought 5 days concession local transport ticket , spent some time there and met people.
We decided to visit Rotterdam, took train to Rotterdam, took 20 minutes to reach there, bought local map and metro / tram ticket. Went to Euromast , then cubic houses, roamed around in local market, had lunch in Chinese restaurant and suprisingly owner said we (Indian and Chinese) are like family ![]()
Retured back to Den haag in the evening. Dinner out.
Went to Madurodam trip in the night which was planned by guadec organizers, had a good time there, amazing miniatures and at the end laser show, returned to hotel by 2400 hrs, slept.
A fruitful day came to the end.

Have a nice time. Enjoy. I expected to see some write-up about your talks. Are you people taking pictures? Can you post some pics?
p.s: BTW I think this is the first time I see “2400 hrs”, coz I assumed 00:00 follows 23:59. But it is quite common to use 2400 hours it seems! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24-hour_clock#Midnight_00:00_and_24:00
