Just came back from Graz, Austria this Thursday. The
2008 Traffic Simulation Workshop went quite well, IMO. Some presentations are quite interesting (and I hope mine is among one of them). Moreover, I have also got a few good comments, which should be addressed in my forth-coming thesis.
Graz seems to be a nice small town. Thanks to the workshop organizers, especially Prof. Martin Fellendorf, we participated a hiking trip, a guided city walk, a delicious dinner at the hilltop restaurant of
Schlossberg (with amazing views of the city), and various other interesting activities.
I actually arrived Graz on June 29th, the day on which the final game of
Euro 2008 was played at Vienna. It was about 2.5 hours away from Graz by car. Two people I knew actually went to Vienna and managed to watch
the game live at the stadium! What an experience!
