Received my Masters Degree, FINALLY!

After months of waiting, and the mail being returned from USA (because I wasn't there to sign for it) and finally arriving in Sweden, I HAVE FINALLY GOT MY MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE from the Royal Institute of Technology (Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan) in Stockholm, Sweden.

I'm definitely happy! It looks better than in the picture, but not as good as my MTU degree...

Some Pics of from Thanksgiving in Linköping, and the apartment

So how does one go about making Thanksgiving in Sweden?
Well, I can find just about everything here.... There is an American/English shop in Stockholm that has all the trimmings for Thanksgiving and other foods (Yeah, even Mountain Dew and Kraft Mac & Cheese)

News from Linköping

Hello Everyone!
I just just want to say, HEJ, and welcome to my new site. I dont particularly care for blogs, but since I want to send and share pictures with people of my 'adventures' this is the perfect way of doing so!

You'll see a video here of me skiing in Åre, Sweden. Telemark Style Baby! That is a free heel form of skiing downhill, almost like cross country style...but a bit more sophisticated.




Also, as I had 'reported' earlier, I am now employed at Linkoping University as a researcher for Biodiesel production in Tanzania. This is a project between Linkoping University and a company called Ageratec. You can check out this page, with just my personal info, i.e. phone, email, etc.
