Pictures from the homebase

OK, the plan was to wait with the pictures until we had made the entire homebase ready, but I realise that that might take some time, so I'll share with you what we have done so far. We have focused on the two common rooms which are the lecture room, the entrance lounge and the kitchen. I've put in some before pictures also, so you can remember what it used to look like.



Today I spoke with Jo for the first time since I got to Vancouver, and it was really nice to hear his voice again! We decided that we will choose Uganda (and possibly Kenya) as our honeymoon destinations. We've tried to find out stuff about our winner, dear Paraguay, but it seems like nobody goes there on holiday and there's not really a lot to see. And they don't have a coastal line, which of course also is a downside. Uganda however have lots of wild life to see, and a completely different environment than what we are used to. It is far away, cheap and we can combine both luxury and experiencing 'the real world'. Also we have found two different projects - one in Uganda and one in Kenya, that we might want to support with our wedding gift-money.

We met our customer (BCGEU) yesterday, and they are sooo nice. We basically have free hands to do whatever we want, and they want a creative result. They provide us with all the finances we need, all the people we need, and they have helped us out so much with the homebase. We've mentioned the things that we are lacking, and they say that they will get us a lot of it. Also they want to do something social with us, so they've proposed to go see a hockey game, and to go by boats on a lake where we can see both the city and the mountains - it sounds really beautiful! It's so great that we have support from the top - all the top executives are supporting our projects, which means that we might have a huge influence if we come up with something good. Which we will, of course:)

Sunday was the chinese new years, and we went a group to see the parade in Chinatown. It was a bit of the 17th of May feeling, which was really great for me, as this is my favourite day of the year. You can see pictures from the parade at my flickr if you want to:)
