Shazzam

Went to Christiania last night. Good times were had by all. Had two beers (learned that Carlsberg is apparently better than Heineken, though I'm waiting until I do the tour of the brewery to definitively make up my mind) and then the rest of the night was fairly mellow. The guys here have a home-theatre set-up dealio going on with a pull-down screen to complement the projector, so as per their suggestion we watched 'Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay'. Very enjoyable flick.

Got a flat tire again yesterday, which was no fun. On my way home today, I passed by the botanical gardens, and then snuck a peak in. These are perhaps the most fantastic gardens I've ever seen. In one part of the greenhouse, there's an 8 m staircase, which you can take up to the top, then walk around and look at all the greenery below. Fantastico! Probably never would've found this place had the structural integrity of the vulcanized rubber used to propel myself to and fro remained intact, so I take it as a good sign that I occasionally get the shaft.

Got all my papers signed, so I'm leaving 17:00 to Oslo this coming Wednesday. From there will travel to Eastern Europe, alst the while merry-making and whatnot.

Miss you all,
