Yes, I survived the weekend. I drank a lot of vodka on Saturday (lost to often while playing Mario Kart). Afterwards we went to NH. I couldn’t believe that enormous queue in front of Corona. Even -10°C cannot prevent these people from waiting so long. What is so special about Corona??

It’s pretty amazing to experience the huge differences in temperature: At first, you lap in the pool at about 25°C, then you hang out in the sauna at about 90°C, and finally you have to cycle home at -12°C. I can hardly recommend the IKSU pool on a Sunday evening – 3 lanes were occupied by this funny vattengympa thingy, another one was used to show little kids how to swim. That remains two lanes for the public. Mostly people who prefer to keep their hair dry while swimming. Not really encouraging.

Yesterday I was at the farewell party of Mark, Sandra, Wiebke and Emre. This kind of corridor party I enjoy so much here in Umea. I hope you guys have a nice time back home! Trevlig resa!

I just added two more student’s web pages to the links section: Rolf has launched an interesting weblog and Philipp publishes some pictures from Umea and his trips up north. Don’t hesitate to inform me about your Umea web activities!
