Tuesday the 15th of November the second official activity took place. This evening we had dinner in Grill Restaurant Rodeo in Eindhoven. After we got our first drink, a few words were said and dinner was ordered. Actually, the waitresses served the beer very quickly in pitchers, so the serving work was reduced a little. Roel Sadza, just back from doing his minor project at Harvard, was also present. We were all very pleased to see him back and were very curious about his activities in the USA. We had a special menu for large groups, some examples of meat were top sirloin steak, spare-rib, rib-eye steak and grilled salmon. The food and especially the meat were delicious. By some luck some participants received even a larger apple pie than the rest, which wasn't known by the rest of the group.
Unfortunately, the participating professors weren’t able to come over this evening, so again it was an activity with only students. To close the evening most of us went to the ‘Bierprofessor’ and drank a few special beers. They also had a couple American beers like Doggy style pale ale, Raging bitch and Road dog porter, so some participants already had a good taste of our study tour. All-in-all we had a nice evening where the participants got to know each other a little bit better.
