This picture was placed on the top of a cake at DnB NOR, in the department where I have worked the last six years. It was fun to see that they are following the status of this project too. Thanks very much to Torbjørn for sending the picture – it is really good to stay in touch with you guys!! (And girls  🙂   Wishing you all a good summer vacation.

I have spent the day in Jintai sleeping late, eating good food, drinking Ice tea and trying to calculate how far I have walked so far. Haven’t come up with a figure yet, but I’m getting there. It’s kind of fun to go through the entire trip so far, through the GPS tracks, but also a bit irritating since every time I have switched off the GPS, had to change batteries or lost satellite reception, it has started a new track log. So I have to add them all up for a day. And to sweeten things even more, the timestamps for the tracks look strange. Perhaps because it still thinks I want to use Norwegian time, while it should know that I am in China. Anyway – I’ll get there in the end.
