Trip to Europe

Went to Europe around the end of February and early March 2005. The main purpose is to attend DATE (Design Automation and Test in Europe), located in Munich Germany this year, where I served in the Technical Program Committee and also presented a paper to this conference.

Also went to nearby countries: Holland, Belgium, and France. The weather was very cold (kind of unusual this time of the year). Everywhere is covered in snow. See the following pictures.
