one of my labmate plays the double bass and has a small band and they were invited to play at a local pub this week. So some guys from teh lab decided to go down to support him. They are really talented musicians and the music quality was good. I also like their arrangements for most of the pieces. real good soul food.
came back to my room at 9pm today and it was drizzling, which is the proper weather for Swedish summer. Lo and behold, there was a rainbow, the first i've seen since being here. So i grabbed my cam and went out to try and catch it but was too late to see the full arch and the double rainbow at one corner. enjoy these though:
the chimney looks like its spewing out lumpy puffs of smoke, which is actually funny shaped clouds.

Having a little free time, i scooted over to spy the new block opposite the lab which will be my soon to be dwelling, in 6 weeks time. Its this new block called Flemingsberg (Flemings-by-eh) Centrum. Its a project to build 169 student hostels and a small shopping mall next to it. So there are cafes, a huge supermart, and some other small shops.
I timed myself and it took a grand total of 3:45 to get from my lab door to the building.
my room to be, its facing eastwards, so will get the morning sun.
The western face
Still under construction, but you can see the adjourning small mall. At least food will not be a worry. The other blocks you see are also student hostels. All in bright colours, supposedly portrying a vibrant lifestyle.
Food is important, you are what you eat, and people live to eat. So last weekend, went out with some Singaporeans to 'yum char' and pick some dim sum. A real treat in the land of Ang Mohs.
The quality is not bad I must say, then again, being so far from home, anything goes.
images taken at 1030 pm. beautiful sky, an indication of a hot day tomorrow. Today was 28C. Too hot. Suddenly winter doesnt sound that bad. If it gets cold, can always layer up, but if it gets hot, you can skip the jackets but how do you remove your skin?
Second last placing boat
The captain super on dont know for what.
But the reporters rushed to him. Maybe some famous captain. This is one of the Swedish teams by the way, I think SWedes are in 5 of the 8 boats.
The Puma boat, the best looking one. Really looks like a shoe.
The crazily large crowd.
Masts
More rowing
The navy was doing some recruiting. This is some special boat that doesnt get detected by radar
