Passing out my gifts to the team |
The team room . . . and the affects of the team gift giving party |
The morning after in the team room. I took the picture, then cleaned it up. |
Enjoying our gift from Evi. |
Javier
and I also got a chance to try an Indonesian treat provide by one of our
favoriate department of transportation friends, Evi! She gave us "fish
brain bread". I didn't know it until we opened the package, we had
eaten it several times already, and enjoyed it
I woke early so I could ooVoo (like Skype) with my wife and started packing my bags. The team still had to complete some knowledge transfer data and putting all photo's into a common hard drive. We would all then share the drive to transfer photo's our PC's. Then it was time for the first of us to leave, Marcelo (to continue a vacation in Indonesia), Jessica and myself to return to Minnesota. #ibmcsc
