Actually it was party time yesterday. I got to go to a reception held by the mayor of Stavanger, Norway, Leif Johan Sevland (the big guy on the left). Nice guy, he gave a speech about how nice Stavanger is, how they’re spending 350M Krone for the upcoming celebration “Cultural City of Europe, 2008″ (that’s about 39M USD).
