A Kaospilot indeed

I've finished my final written and oral exam at the KP and the only thing left before take-off is evaluation and the finishing ceremony on the 15th of June.

Cover of my final exam report on our project Innovation Battle

I wrote a little post on the last days at school on our friend-blog, den ytre sirkel. It's in Norwegian, but there's pictures if you don't get the language.

Photoshoot and cinematic experience

Rolf and I have delivered our written exam or project report and the 21st we're having our oral exam in Århus. We're leaving Amsterdam the 15th to celebrate May 17th in Bergen and Oslo.

These days we're preparing for our oral and trying to secure financing so that we can keep working on our project after we've finished the pilots. As a part of this we had a little photo shoot with Marit, Marit, Anna, Morten and Guro. Here are some excerpts.


Today Anna, Marit and I decided to go to the cinema. The film was Spiderman 3 - good stuff, highlight being the very nice and corny session in the middle where Peter Parker becomes cool. But the absolutely best part of the experience was the cinema itself. The Tushinski was built in 1921 and is pure Art Deco.

Queens day and wonderful visit

Canal stroll right by our favorite record shop

Thursday, Gaute and Lars came to visit. We walked the streets, admired the canals, shopped for clothes and vinyl and partied like it was ninteen freakin ninety nine. Just wonderful.
Card night

Morten and Rolf dancing while Lars is rocking the drums in the basement of some random artists fantastic apartment.

Due to some bad planning, communication and emergencies, both Gaute and Lars left before Monday which was Queens day. This is the day where all Dutch people dress up in orange, jump in their boats, drink all their booze, play all their techno music and are allowed to sell all their stuff on the street. Very Dutch, very crazy and one day per twelve months is plenty.
Yes, there is a canal there somewhere.

A long and painful stay at Kastrup

Torgersen is back in Europe. After some fifteen - twenty hours of traveling, I'm now at Kastrup waiting for my plane to Amsterdam. Long journey.

I've had some fantastic days in Vancouver and Seattle, me and Torhild had a little bit of illness in our team the last week, but yesterday we shook it off and joined T12s tour de chambres. The themes were Christmas, baby shower, Team 11, Japan and mental institution. Here is some photo evidence and a couple of other pictures from before, after and in-between.

Chronological order or tastefulness is not guaranteed.

Vancouver and Seattle

I've been nine days in Vancouver and Seattle. Here are some pictures from my stay so far. It's been a fantastic vacation so far. The next week will be more work-oriented. I will work on how we shall use the internet to strengthen our project and have meetings with different relevant persons.

But here are the pictures.

Family visit and a fantastic store

This weekend my parents and youngest sister, Lotte, came to visit. The days were spent eating out, going to museums, shopping and general enjoyment of Amsterdam.

Planning the weekend
Lotte spent so much at American Apparel that she got two sports bags for free

The shopping part of the weekend gives me a good opportunity to tell you about a very cool little shop and factory - Universe on a T-shirt. They make all their stuff in the store, and you can get it customized as well. It's no pull-back either that they make sure that their gear is produced environmentally sane and under good worker conditions.
