My office is in the white-ish building behind the wooden house on the left (that's for sale).<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

Walking to the exhibition-house during the unexpectedly cold day.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Our destination is there in the middle.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

This is Askja, one of those buildings that took years to build, and has been troublesome ever since completion. For example: The dark 'backside' panels have started to peel and are badly rusted, but I don't think there is any money to fix it any time soon.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

One of our EE students with a couple of his projects: a motion detecting and tracking camera, as well as a motion controlled water squirt bottle.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

More EE students trying to reel in new recruits.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

There were quite a few people there, but I think there were more last year. Perhaps everybody was skiing this year?<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

There was a live band there for a while, which didn't make speaking terribly easy.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Anna getting herself a free hot-dog.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sometimes it's good to be bilingual.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Visiting the animal-study room. They had a few recently dead animals (or recently thawed not-long-dead animals).<\/p><\/div>\n
