Just a couple of weeks after being back from vacation in Germany, I was off to Amsterdam, Eindhoven, and Kyiv again. The trip was for office visits and Casual Connect Kyiv 2010.
Amsterdam is one of the most beautiful cities I have seen. The architecture is incredible and the people are a lot like Pacific Northwesterners. I always look forward to visiting Amsterdam. The Europe office for GameHouse is called Zylom and is located in Eindhoven, a couple of hours from Amsterdam. Next time that we visit, we will have to stay in Eindhoven rather than Amsterdam because it seems like a lovely area to explore.
Casual Connect Kyiv 2010 was a nice opportunity to find new partnerships with game developers. It was also nice to visit with our current partners from Eastern Europe and Russia. However, it is always a treat to come back to Amsterdam after Kyiv. This time, we stayed in the Yotel hotel at Schiphol Airport on our way out of Europe. It is a funny little pod-style hotel located upstairs by the food court at Schiphol. We thought it would be fun to stay there, and we were pleasantly surprised by how much we liked it! Although, after having a very-smokey hotel room in Ukraine, almost anything would be a pleasant change (most certainly).
