Thanks for the welcome!
The hotel is ok, although they charge outrageous rates for the Internet. I've been issued a loaner laptop so theoretically could set up an Internet connection to the hotel room with local Wlan company. It costs a less than the hotel price, but I must buy a Wlan card for the laptop myself. I'm not sure it is reasonable to purchace some equipment for 40EUR just to have it for five weeks.
We got set up at the office today and already have solved some cases. Woot!
So far, so good.
