Sitting at the airport enjoying the "cheap" Dutchie wifi at a mere $10 per day waiting for my flight that is about 3 hours off. The conference was quite a bit of fun. I got to meet a number of PHP guys who I have not seen before as well as meet old friends and acquaintances. The city itself is quite interesting and nearly everyone speaks English so communication with the locals is quite simple. One surprise was the fact that Dutchies don't seem to wear the traditional wooden shoes (perhaps it makes riding bicycles too hard?), the only time I've seen them was in the various tourist shops. The other was the fact that I have only seen about a dozen tulips in the country, which supposedly world renowned for this particular flower, oh well.

P.S. The two talks I gave will be put online as soon as I return to Toronto.
