Sorry, got house guests all of a sudden. Three girls from Portugal, Finland and Belgium, and a guy from Japan. They're volunteer workers. Very nice people, we invited them over for dinner.

What are they volunteer workers for? Explain!

Your name is nice, I noticed earlier in another conversation...
They go to this special school in Norway that has several projects going on down in Africa (in Angola, for example), so they raise funds (which is what they were doing in my town) and work on those African projects mostly. We actually met people from that school last year and invited ~them~ over for lunch (I meant lunch earlier as well 
), so maybe this is becoming a tradition. Our way to help out. Which is cool. You get to meet nice people, and more often than not, beautiful girls my age.

And it was nice meeting someone from Japan since I'm currently learning Japanese (as seen on my personal space).

Not very good at all, I just started taking a course. I can still read only one of the "alphabets" (there are two syllabaries + the Chinese symbols). I know a few words, and I can say stuff like "Hello, nice to meet you, I am [name]" and "This is Mr Yamada".

Well, I live in the middle of Sweden, at the east coast. The course is a reading course at the University of Gothenburg, far south of here on the west coast.

Sweden - never visited - is it nice?! What time is it out there?

iaoth Posted Sep 5, 2001
"Out there"? 7:45 pm. It's fairly nice in summer, but too cold in the winter.

Well for once it's not raining here (middle of UK). Actually blazing sunshine, which means my office is boiling. Grrrrr...
Lots of work to do and not enough time to do it.
Which means I ought to do some really. Well later anyway.
