Koh Kret was famous for ceramics...

I'm not sure if these items were for sale, but there were extreme amounts of
high quality ceramics here - all hand made, and not much more expensive than
IKEA.

Arriving in Thailand

Arriving in Thailand at midnight, and no planning made whatsoever, it was a
pleasant nice surprice of being invited home to the people sitting next to
me in the airplane (the boy and girl on the far sides of the picture). They
didn't speak much english, but the Boy (indeed his name) was also studying
chinese in China, so we got around. Boy's mother to the left of boy woke and
served us excellent night food at 1 am! Here on a boat trip to a local
tourist site, Koh Kret.

Holidays, earthquake and Vista..

Lately my blog has been rather inactive, and except this
“batch-blog-posting” it will probably stay this for another month. Lately
I was 3 weeks on holiday in Norway, now I’ve been 3 weeks in China again,
but today I go 3 weeks to Thailand/Cambodia(back feb 23rd). On holidays my
blog activity is rather low, and once I came back I was seriously hampered
by a slow internet caused by a 7.1-magnitude earthquake between Hong Kong
and Taiwan, destroying primary fiber optical fibers C that has rendered
Asia’s Internet extremely slow in contact with overseas web servers. To top
my list of off the point excuses, it’s taken some time to get used to
Windows Vista that I boldly decided to be a “pioneer with”.

放假，地震 和更型换代

最近在我的网址没经常使用过，一个月来我没增加新的文件。下月我网址的使用也不很
多，文件内容不增加新的。我在十二月份回挪威三个星期，之后三个星期在中国，最后
计划从一月二十七号去泰国三个星期。游览时没时间写日记，但是我会找时间写一篇到
三篇旅行见闻。回来后在中国发现网落原因，中国的总网线出问题。

Farewell party, end of 2nd semester.

A lively bunch of party people, primarily people from Japan, Korea, and
Thailand, with friends. Another sad farewell, some drinking too much, some
shedding tears. It's sad to take farewell to many friends, but at least I'm
staying - leaving everything behind is always the worst. I've decided to
keep up my studies one more semester with a private tutor - actually with a
fully qualified teacher that moves in my guest room in return for a free
stay. The next 5 months are fixed.

Conveyor belt Japanese

Back in Shanghai with my by now former classmates. We decided to try out a very typical Japanese concept with an endless belt of temptation moving in front of our eyes. At the end we ended up paying according to the color codes of the empty plates we had accumulated. Fresh and delicious.

Gelateria Italiano finally opens

The ice cream shop in Hankou lu that Diego works at finally opened. We were invited to have free samples of all flavors, and if everything goes well for the investors there’ll be numerous outlets opened in Shanghai by summer. Diego has been taught the craftsmanship of making fresh ice cream, and it was very good indeed!

Hairy crabs

This is a rare delicacy, a freshwater crab that only lives in parts eastern parts of china, and has its season autumn/early winter. In restaurants they may appear a little pricy, but cooked at home you get away with 17 RMB/15 NOK a piece. Nice! Armstrong, my roommate treated us with this great meal, in the occasion that he is about to move to New Zealand for one year, he will be missed.
