Poison Candy
Poor chinese... Their everlasting huger for more money results in poisoning of the nations future.
The latest is that of my favourite chinese candy "White Rabbit" has been banned after findings of the cemical melamin.
A news link
I hope none of you who decided to try it here in Stavanger took any damage...
So far 6,244 children have become ill from the cemical melamin after drinking milk made of milk poweder. Four have died. The tainted milk powder has been isolated to the Sanlu Group, which is Chinas biggest maker of the product.

Summer is over, vacation here I come!
Today my girlfriend went offshore again... This might be for the last time as she is going back to a landbased project. Good :-)
When she comes home we will go to Japan on vacation!
Here in Stavanger it is getting colder.. even though there is very little rain compared to normal I can`t do anything like this anymore.
I must say that this summer has been excellent! Ive never swam as much as Ive done this summer. I love it.
But during winter I can stay inside and make excellent food.
Like Baozi, aka kung fu panda training meal:
Or sushi(sorry, cant wait until I go to Japan!)
But I long for coffee breaks in the mountain
and
Relaxing summers at the cabin...

Peoples University
Buhuu! For the second time in two years the peoples university, Folkeuniversitetet in norwegian, has robbed me from the chanse of learning mandarin...
Last year it was because I was the only one listed and they needed 5. Why don't they advertice?? It should be at least 5 people in the city who want to learn the language.
This year everything was going as planned until one day in advance. But then a email: Sorry, we are postponing it one week.
OK; fair enough cause I've heard through another guy that they had enough people this time.
Yesterday I got a phone; "Hi! I'm sorry but the Chinese teacher told us yesterday that he can only hold the course on mondays, not tuesdays as planned, hope it is ok with you :-D"
Finally half a year of planning to get that stupid tuesday free in order to attend a stupid language course, it is moved to the day I can't, the day I could have, but after rearranging my schedule can't anymore.
Thanks, Xie Xiè, from now on I'll do it myself.
