The Channel 9 Guy Goes to Europe
Well, the Channel 9 Guy pestered me enough after seeing my last post that now I have to indulge his whims.He's been a constant travel companion - quiet, amiable, sinister, and spongy.

Because beginnings are always important times, you see here the Channel 9 Guy at Seatac (Seattle Tacoma International Airport)

 

Here the dude ponders the ancient ruins in his ineffable way.


Silbury Hill - another ancient mystery for the 9 Guy to ponder.

 


Grooving to Basement Jaxx at the Microsoft UK party with Channel 9 Guy.

 


The Channel 9 Guy kicks back viewing the canals of Amsterdam.

 


The Channel 9 Guy with his new best pal, Ingo Rammer.

 


Clemens and Pierre teach the 9 Guy about Guinness.

 


Clemens offers Channel 9 guy his first taste of Guinness. I was assured by the 9 Guy that the Guinness in Amsterdam is far better than the Guinness he gets while drinking out in Redmond.

Hmmmm... Drinking Guinness in Amsterdam is kind of the same as drinking Heineken in Redmond. I never got any better Guinness like the one in Dublin (Grafton Plaza Hotel, which has a great pub/club connected to it).

Try some local beers, or Belgium ones, like Leffe, Duvel (if you like a challenge, as this one is strong), Westmalle Dubbel (brown) or Trippel (blonde); there are 10's of different beers you could order in a good pub... (100's in speciality pubs).

Please say Hello to Pierre on my behalf. I would have loved to empty one or two of those pints with you. May be next time. Cheers!
