Hello Canada!!

I think it's time for a proper blog post. Time to tell you a little bit more about what's going on in my life. The thing that consumes most of my time and brain activity these days is team 12's Vancouver outpost. As I told you before the whole team is going to Vancouver for three months to work on projects concerning sustainability (with a focus on urban, culture, education, ecological and economic). The idea behind the outpost is to basically move our classroom to a place outside Scandinavia to create a playground with new trends, new markets, new friends, new cultures, new ideas and new techniques. So far we have a bunch of potential customers: Vancity , Check your head, Plan Institute, Sustainability group, Pivot Legal, Threadlight, Public Outreach, Ecotrust and Portland Authority. There are a lot of interesting projects and we'll use next week to pick and choose which projects we want to work with.

We already have a place to stay, The YWCA hotel. The YWCA of Vancouver works for the empowerment of today's woman, to enable her to reach full potential in body, mind, and spirit, so it's a good cause. We'll be sharing rooms of three and that'll probably a huge challenge!

The whole class went away together to a cottage in Molsbjerge to do a preject, which basically means that we used that time to create a common platform for our stay in Vancouver, expressing our personal and professional needs. This is done to prepare and hopefully avoid problems that might arise during our outpost. But with working hard comes playing hard and we did that aswell. Lot's of beer and singstar! This was the first time I play singstar and now I'm completely hooked. We had a competition and yours truly made it to the final two but was beaten by the singstar legend Nikolaj.

Tonight we're having a good-bye party. The lovely team 11 is planning it for us and there is a fairytale theme. So I expect to meet princes, princesses, witches, dwarfs, frogs and all sorts of interesting people tonight.

No one was able to answer the last music trivia. It was the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Song with the Flaming Lips. Check it out! Here's the new music trivia. You know the drill: The band and the name of the song.
It's so cold in this house
