Marine Biotechnology!

There was very fascinating and interesting presentation in my department today!
One professor from Denmark, presented his project in "Marine Biotechnology".


He joined a project organized by Danish government and there many researchs from a broad range of fields and sailer's had sailed a oceans for total more than 6 months period.
He said "he was diving to collect many samples and study in the small lab in the boat day and night!"

and "the experience there cruise sounds very very great! (both scientifically and also personally)"

And it was actually his dream when he was child to sail away to the ocean to study biology there!
(Since he is actually the expert of protein science, and it was the first time for him to ride a boat and stay for a long time on the sea.)

His message the ending were,
"Biotechnology is not only the things in the lab, but also there's a lot of things outside to be found!"
And also "Never give up your dream"

It sounds very fascinating, doesn't it?

A package from Japan!

Yesterday a package from Japan has arrived!
It left Japan on 18th of January and have been traveling far way up to Sweden after 4 months !!!

(Well, it's very very and too long time even though it's by sea way to save the cost....)

The reason it was sent by sea was because conponents are heavy. Mainly they books which I couldn't carry with me.... because I have too many things to carry to Sweden back..


1. "World soccer digest", a magazine about world fooball, a full of articles with deep insight!
2-3. "Number", a sports graphic magazine X2, magazine about sports pictures and articles are very cool! (more emphasizing on artistic part than world soccer digest?)

I think those are already out of dated... although they have cool pictures and articles...

4. "Brutus",trend magazine? Topic was "attracting culture of Japan, the new spots we do find on abroad"
5. "Title", art culture magazine? Topic is best selection of DVD 595 titles!



+ 2 textbook for my study.

So problem is I have to find a time to read them..... Let me start memorizing slides of presentation for course...

Egypt! Cairo-Luxor

Since last Friday and Monday were extra Holiday for Easter (Påsk),
I made a trip to Egypt with my colleague! We visited Cairo, the neighborhood Giza and Luxor.

The pyramids were so huge and just surprising when we stand in front of it.
Temples in Luxor were magnificient as well.
Many old painting in tombs in Kings' velley were another impressive things.

People are very friendly and also kind when we need a help.
However when they are on business they are very very cheeky sometimes.
It's a sort of adventure when you go shopping.
You always have to be tough negotiator because you don't know how many times more expensive money you are paying.

It's very nice adventure to the many new culture, things and atmospheres.
Some other pictures are on picture storage so please have a look too!
