7.30 this morning:

“Hello Stephan?”
“Hello Miel, good morning”
“Yeah, hi, I was wondering if you could send a taxi to my hotel”
“We’re going to be late, at least an hour, there’s too much snow.”
“Awch. Then I’m going to be late at the conference…”
“Sorry about that, but people are driving like old women”
“Heheh”
“We’ll try to hurry, the driver will call you when he’s there”
“Okay thanks!”

Well, those Germans… you’ve got to admit they know their work. They recognize my phone number, and they’re willing to hurry… But I’m still going to be late. At least 4 inches of snow, from the looks of it. And the roads haven’t been cleared yet. There’s a strong wind and the snow keeps falling.

Nice.

8.24 this morning:

“Hello?”
“Hello Miel, it’s the taxi company”
“Hi”
“My wife is coming to pick you up with a Silver M-Class”
“An SUV hehe, very good in this weather”
“She’ll be there around 8.35 or so, but the road is crazy”
“Cool, thanks a lot!”
“Zupah, you’re welcome, bye”
“Bye”

How’s that for a service? I think it’s awesome.

The pic below is the view from my hotel room right now. The lights in the back are cars. There’s supposed to be a road just behind the trees. Only… you can’t see it very well anymore.
