My (training) mission is complete

Well almost ... I still have to sit in on a certification tomorrow and have some other meetings, but the main job for me here in Manila is now done. Today I completed the FL 1.1 course - spending 2 days to conduct what was really 3 days worth of course. The guys from Forum Nokia are running some additional days now for developers to learn what's happening in the technical space from Nokia's point of view, so we had to kind of fit in with the schedule of the overall program for the week. Cramming it into 2 days was a little full on for everyone, but I had a group of very enthusiastic and keen students who really wanted to learn as much as they could.

Tonight I went out for dinner with guys from Adobe and Globe (one of the carriers here in the Phillipines) - to a Brazillian BBQ place! I'm not sure what I was expecting, being in Manila and eating in a Brazillian resturant, but hey when in the Phillipines, do as the Brazillians do! It was really good fun ... when they brought around the BBQ'd bananas, followed by ckicken, then corn, then pineapple, then more meat ... well yeah ... I guess it was good fun :) Good local beer here to :)

So I have a couple more days in Manila, some work but mostly trying to find presents now to take home to my daughters!
