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.
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. 
My good friend Pouria sent this link to me on facebook and it's simply too precious not to share.
What a smooth little operator.
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.
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.
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.

Last weekend was fantastic with Martin, Kaspar, Henrik and Bjørn visiting from Bergen. We did everything four gentlemen in the Capital of Sin should do - and think thats all we need to say about that matter.
And now, less than one week later, I'm in beautiful Vancouver with Torhild and the rest of Team 12. The flight over went really smoothly, much thanks to an inspiring and bright-minded seventeen-year-old from Munich and too little sleep prior to the journey.
The two days I've been in Vancouver, have been spent getting over the jet-lag, enjoying Torhilds company and shopping for vintage tees.
I was pretty sick on the last days before the weekend, but for some miraculous reason I felt better by Friday evening. Beats me.
Since Rolf was going to Copenhagen to celebrate his birthday I invited my sister Anna and her friend Marit to stay in our apartment during the weekend. Also our friend Arpi is visiting this weekend with a friend, so with Anna and Marit at Hotel Singel, they could borrow their rooms. 
This morning we got up late. After an hour or so of relaxation and morning small talk, we went to a little place in Jordaan where they have amazing sandwiches. We all ordered the Italiana with pesto, mozarella, olives, tomato and parma ham.
After this delicious meal we went to a market in the northern part of Jordaan. Last week I was there with Rolf and bought some stickers and vinyl. I was hoping to find some more golden tunes today - and boy did I! Here are some of the catches.
Volvo just launched their new Volvo C30. Togeter with it they launched this site, where you can play some games and hear what comments people had about the car when they were spontaneously introduced to it.
My favorite game or function is the one where you can write a text and then a giant mouth in the trunk of the car reads it out loud in for example Swedish, Japanese, German, English, Spanish or Greek. Great way to have a conversation if you're not allowed to talk.
And to say a few words about what's going on with me, I'm sick. Hard cold or flu. I can't really decide. The timing is not very good since we're hosting a couple of workshops this week. Yesterday we celebrated that one of the teams at our company won the contract to develop a daring and new site for a Dutch newspaper addressing mainly people between 25 and 35. Champagne tastes nice even when your nose is stuffed.
