Went to Cambridge for a work party in the afternoon/evening. Four hours of train ride for a two hour party. I was skeptical about going but it was fun. Met with some colleagues that I hadn’t seen in 3 years due to pandemic restrictions.
On the way back home I was able to catch my daughter’s live orchestra performance online. Was pleasantly surprised how well 5G network worked providing uninterrupted connectivity.
