It is sunny and warm...probably over 30 degs.
I saw the new lisebergstornet (in a themepark)

it is a high fall of 120 meters as far as i heard...in the middle of Gothenburg...
I just refilled my phone card (0730 337 255)Im was waiting for my brother to finish work...perhaps I was hanging out in the city while waiting...

I walked around barefeeted, since my flipflop broke...

I went to eat dinner with my father and brother...

italian food...

I ordered tiramisu for desset, but they didnt have..so i got some chocolate covers petit choux inetead, it was awesome.

After that i went to Eberth, he had some barBQ event...it was nice...

He also showed me his new home made speaker..it was huge...with great sound.

Then we went downtown to järntorget, where they had live band playing...

And then to some nice hak, where we hanged out for some hours...

'

Then we cyceled home again...its nice to be home. convenient and cosy...

I had a dinner with parts of my chinese class today...

we were 8 people...

They had sweet and sour sauce...

And I also ate frog...I tried it before here in taiwan...but this time they removed the frog skin...
We were talking about going to Savage this night...not sure what iwll happend...
Song of the night is the italian group Corona - Rythm of the night (Euro disco a la '94)

not only my picture and my name is gone on my student ID card. Now I cannot even open doors with it...
I applied for a new one, this morning...
It is good...

So that I can continue to access my x-mas decorated lab...
strangely enough some ones taking my drinks from the fridge...
I wonder who it is...I removed all my drinks from the labs fridge...

It was weekend...and thus many kids at the campus...(since taiwan is lacking of parks)...
I wonder how chalmers campus would look like if it was the same in sweden...

kids running around since scooters are not allowed there...(btw, scooters are allowed at chalmers campus...)
Im thinking about buying a scooter with a big box on the back...painted with some food chain logo (Pizza hut, McDonalds, Burger King etc)...

They have free entrance to the campus...and the guards at the entrance never stops them...

Just checked ticket prices home...
7500sek to gothenburg....only 4500sek to stockholm...
A transfer in china...total time 33 hours...
I hate countries where u need tranist visa...
and asian staff are so rigid and weak for authorities...forcing you to pay stupid extra tickets since they have lack of knowledge...(happend me in china last time)
I will buy the ticket tonite...
Probably going home next weekend...

Yesterday the school arranged a Farewell party for the students who will leave soon...I was the only swede there...I guess the chalemrs students were in Taipei or something...

I was mainnly there for the free food...
There were also competitions where students could win T-shirts and bags...
I found it interesting that they thought that the school tower with a clock on was the administration building...I thought it was the achitecture vuilding behind the administration building...
Later on they played music... However, they played first latino music, only latinos were dancing. THen they played indian music...only indians were dancing...
The europreans left to 7-11 for drinking long time ago...
the normal conslusion was:
(Normal party)-alcohol=(NCTU arranged party).

We ordered pizza from pizza hut...it was nice...
The weather is still a little unstable...heavy rain mixed with unbearable sunshine...

I spoke to the International Office in NCTU some year ago, about improving the recycling procedure by also having enlgish signs at their recycle stations...they said it was an interesting idea, and that they would deal with it...
As usual, nothing happend... :S

I also tried to tell the food courst myself...but they refered to other authorities...
So nowadays I just give my dish to some random staff, to help me...save the environment...

I attended the last class in the Technology Marketing course yesterday...
We have one more class, but that is all in chinese so I dont need to attend it...

It was a class held in NTHU, the university next you NCTU...
A very appreciated class...

After that class I had a presentatio in IP management. We analysed the patent strategy of a taiwanese company that produces bike part made of carbon.
We also got pizza...it was nice...

I ended the day by visiting Savage...since it was students night...my classmates wondered if I  wanted to join them...
Not that many people from school were there, but still I recognized some...

I passed campus at 3 am some night ago...
And there were alot of people out on the streets...

I did not really see what they were doing, but I thought they were celebrating end of semester or something...
It turned out to be a lunar eclipse that got peoples attention...

Tomorrow we have exam in a Global Technology Strategy course.
It is open book, so we can bring alot of things to the exam, so ppl print all the slides etc.
Just becasue I dont wanna be worse, I copied my classmates slides...
It was 8 presentations I think...

Dont know if i will read them, but it feels like im more prepared now, than if I did not print the slides...im obviously using the "just in case"-strategy, thats frequently used at open book exams...

Peanutbutter is a good thing to eat when studying...it is salty, taste good and make u full...
I didnt really study so much for this exam, however, I ate some peanutbutter just for joy...

We presented the pizza project today...
We were told to b on time.since we were the first group presenting...

But as usual there were no one there in time...so we needed to wait...such a waste...
\
My other classmates also presented..they were all dressed in yellow (by coincidence)

Last week in school is appraoching (even if the last handin daedline for some course in the 27th of june).

Pablo is studying some course...he has exams this week as well as me.

We borrowed the projector, in case we wanted to study...
fortunetely it was at the program office, some times other students has it in their possesion...
We contined the night by going to a freind who studies information management, to watch a movie...

We saw the 3 idiots, that is kind of popular among asians...

I was suppose to visit a new pizzeria with some classmates some day ago..but they only had take-away pizza, so we went to a fish place instead...

It was almost the same style as when I lived in the US, you can see the fish swimming around in the aquarium and u pick the one u want...i wanted a crab, but it was 900NTD, anmd it was not super big..so i skipped it..

My friend Cory had some guy from USA visiting...he was funny...

It is common in Taiwan that a bar has a girls dressed in a short skirt, trying to sell a beer that is more expensive than the others....
...And this restaurant had a girl promoting TsingTao, beer, an expensive one...(100NTD per bottle 1SEK=4,6NTD (about))

At the same time, the same brand had another kind of beer from the same producer, that wao 30% of the price...(3 bottles for 100NTD). We didnt see the offer until after a while, we felt a little cheated..
But atleast we used the offer once before we left...

We continued to a sliced ice store, where we could choose among milk or peanut ice...

THey often put brown or red beans and other slimy stuff on the ice...but foreigners like me usually prefer fruit on...unfortunately they only had pineapple as fruit..so I got 3 different kinds of pineapple and some creamy sauce on mine...

After that we went to my friends Cory's appartment...
He lives in a high building (21 floors)...a great view from where you can even see the sea).
 
We played some video games...before people started to take off...
Tomorrow is another day...

I joined my Taianese frends downtown this weekend to the Swedish neamed pizzeria "doftar"
It was nice...

Duck and Allen...and the server...one is a student the other one is doing his militairy service....

I didnt order a hawaii pizza this time...i think i took one last time...or the time berfore that...

I got a ginger ale, but got my ice in a separate glass, that was new for me...

I continued to Coldstone (an ice cream bar) where we are some banana ice cream (with banana cake and banana pieces...etc (my favorite the peanutbutter ice cream was sold out :(
After that I tried to find an old restaurant (by cycling around downtown) that is sushi all you can drink and eat...but without result...
My friend duck told me that the restaurant probably closed down some time ago...

I joined the dragonboat team today, we almost won...
It was strange, cuz we were fater than the other teams, but we missed the flag since the boat was not stearing totally towards the falg, (not our fault).
no camera - no pics :(

Today we practiced with the dragon boat team in nanliao. it went so so...
But we were good compare to other internatioanl teams...(i think), there were only other taiwanese teams there i think., so i didnt really see any of our competiors.

It was wet...but interesting..i was kind of tired, since i had an exam this morning that forced me up. but it was ok.
