Today, Giang, Son, Jenny, Dominik, Tim and I wanted to get some souvenirs for our families, friends or colleagues. But before we went to the gift shop, we wanted to eat in a restaurant. Since we are in Ireland, we really wanted to eat traditional fish and chips. „Souvenir and finger food day“ weiterlesen
„Dancing is like dreaming with your feet!“
(quote from Constanze Mozart )
17th of May in 2018:
The handover of the document was today. My supervisor was satisfied with it. *Yes :D* My task continued by testing with colleagues, explaining everything about the new server farm. It is fantastic and makes fun to talk in English. To communicate with others with only one language is lovely. I enjoy it a lot. „„Dancing is like dreaming with your feet!““ weiterlesen
Limelight morning | Anticipation of game of thrones tour
Day 49 19.05.2018 Saturday
We stayed at the club till the early Saturday morning and didn’t leave until 2:00 a.m. Leaving the club we had finish our drinks first because you are not allowed to take them outside with you.
Because of the long night we slept very long on Saturday.
Unluckily we forgot to buy something to eat the day before. Giang really wanted to eat fish and chips in Northern Ireland so we went to “John Long”. They serve really good fish and large chips. I have one tip for you: if you buy the battered fish you won’t get as many chips as with the battered fish super menu but you’ll have to pay 3,50 pound less. After the meal, we went to the souvenir shop “Carrolls Gifts & Souvenirs” at the Belfast Centre because everyone wanted to get some souvenir for their friends and family. „Limelight morning | Anticipation of game of thrones tour“ weiterlesen
First work, then party
Today I had a great start at work… not. On my way to work, as always, I picked up a snack at the Iceland, which is near my work. After I arrived at work and started my laptop, there was already the first nice surprise. „First work, then party“ weiterlesen
Preparing Presentation | Limelight Belfast
Day 48 18.05.2018 Friday
On Friday I had to depploy the network devices for one branch and prepare the network to ensure that everything was functional. We verified the access point spots again and
discovered that some ap were dislocated.
My supervisor asked us (Jakob and me) to create a 10-15 minute presentation about our work experience, including trained skills, things learned as well as our projects.
At night we visited the nightclub “lightlime”. Unfortunately we went there to early so we arrived at 21:00 p.m. when the nightclub was still closed because of an event. It was a tribute to prince, the singer of “purple rain”. So we stayed at the lightlime pub next to the club. We didn’t know that the lightlime location had 3 areas. One event area, the pub and the nightclub. They are connected to each other so you don’t have to go outside to enter another area. „Preparing Presentation | Limelight Belfast“ weiterlesen

At work Robert and I had no real task since Thursday when Colm came up with a new stint.
It is about installing a FTP Server with a WebUI and some other requirements like scheduled jobs, alarms and backups.
Training Placement Certificate | Intern Europe
Day 46&47 16.05-17.05.2018 Wednesday & Thursday
On Wednesday I left the office earlier because Intern Europe informed me that I had to
collect my „Training Placement Certificate“. This document confirmed that I did a work
experience in Agnew group. At the office, I had to tidy up the server room and get
rid of the stuff that wasn’t required anymore. I helped Jakob to move his devices because he had so many of them.
For this day Intern Europe had also organized a treasure hunt event which I was not a part of because I was to tired. I heard from schoolmates that they had to walk around for 2 hours: from the city hall to the Titanic Quarter. They had to answer questions about certain attractions in Belfast. At the end, they received a free drink and were in a pub. „Training Placement Certificate | Intern Europe“ weiterlesen
„Have fun because that’s what life is about.“
(quote from Ryan Lochte)
14th of May in 2018:
The last but one week started today. My supervisor was absent until tomorrow. I still got my current task, to set up the users at Outlook of Microsoft Office 365.
At home, a funny situation happened. Son often arrived home late, that’s why he can’t make dinner for us. Therefore he used to help sometimes, i.e. taking the trash out or cutting vegetables. Today Son learned that our accommodation has a second rubbish bin. It doesn’t sound funny but let me reconstruct the conversation, which has occurred today: „„Have fun because that’s what life is about.““ weiterlesen
My first time cooking
After I came back from work, I had to go outside again, because I was cooking today and needed some ingredients. Honestly, I can not cook at all and apart from the fact that I’ve been warming up a few things so far, I have not cooked anything yet. Anyway, today my ‚dear with apprentices’ has forced me to cook samosas. For those who do not know samosas, they are stuffed dumplings, originally from India. „My first time cooking“ weiterlesen
