New president at Chalmers

Today, Jan-Eric Sundgren announced that he will quit his job as president (rektor) of Chalmers University of Technology. I think his successor will be Lena Gustafsson, who now is first vice president. She is a smart woman with big knowledge in the futuristic biotech area. Anyone who want to bet against me? :)

On the top

This weekend, I went on a mountainclimbing tour to DaGuanShan, which in Chinese means "the big, guarded mountains". It was really nice, with many Kodak moments. It took a while to go there though - about seven hours from Hsinchu.

Paintball

Yesterday, the Taiwanese championship in paintball were held at Hsuan Chuang University in Hsinchu. I went there to take a look. The adrenaline levels were evident high...

Anderson in Kaohsiung

From Wednesday to Thursday, I was in Kaosiung, in southern part of Taiwan. Suddenly, in a park, about twenty Taiwanese kids showed up together with their teachers. And they all weared light blue T-shirts, with the text "Anderson" on their back. I almost felt like if they were looking for me...

The sportsman

Anders - a sportsman :-)
I am now back from the Yunnan Orienteering Festival in China. It was very fun and I even got a certificate with an olympic touch, since I became the winner of my class the first day. I feel like a real sportsman...

I saw the sign

I like signs. They are often very useful. Sometimes they are a little bit fun, though. Here in China, I found some interesting signs. Take a look by yourself.

Orienteering - a way of living

Go-go-go! One interested beginner at the Orienteering Introduction Course

Today, the president of Taiwan (Chen Shui-Bian) was about 300 meters from my house. Cool, right? He was on TV, and so was I - but because of another reason: I was interviewed by Taiwanese TV earlier this afternoon when I was helping the Taiwan Orienteering Association with an introduction course for beginners.

Green Island

I just visited the Green Island - a beautiful place just east of Taiwan. It takes a while to go there, but once you arrive you realize it's worth it.

Till Kina

Next week, I will participate in the Yunnan Orienteering Festival in China. I just bought the flight tickets today. Since the policies has changed, I need to go to Hong Kong to get my visa, which is a little bit troublesome...
(Det var bättre förr... :) )
