Nizza Pizza
After visiting the trade show and talking to a lot of people and having been harassed by the booth babes from XJTAG, I felt it was time for lunch. In the vicinity there was a pizzeria. When I looked at the menu, I was a bit upset over the prices. 11 € for a pizza and 5 € for the water!
But it was a large and tasty and made with fresh produce. I was happy.

DATE in Nice
I went to Nice to go on a DATE. It was very interesting and the most interesting stuff was the peak current reducing tools from Teklatech.
But I don’t want to bore you with more technical details. I just wanted to say that Nice is a nice city where you can enjoy a good meal. I asked at the reception in the hotel for a good restaurant with good wines, and they recommended 20 sur Vin.
At 20 sur Vin you were asked to follow the sommelier into the wine-cellar and pick out a bottle of wine. I picked a local wine and ordered the duck. It was very nice.
