2009-08-12 Wednesday

Awesome times, I am back in Cologne. Last night I had a long nice talk with Christine – my former flatmate. I am Staying in the same flat as I was during my study here – just in Oli’s room. It’s so weird to be back. Seeing all these places bring up so many great memories.

Got up early to be at the Convention in Time.
Was at the Business Area – quite interesting. All full of locked up meeting rooms.
The “Public” entertainment area is great fun. Today is a special day only for Business people but it is already crowded.

I sneaked in the Game Developers Congress and watched a Speech of Victor Antonov, who I knew from the FMX in 2005.

Also I checked out some Game Developer Company’s and Picked the one I want to apply at. Used the rest of the time to try out some new games I am curious about.
In the evening I had a long and good conversation with my former Flatmate Christine.
