Boston Part 1

Yesteday I arrived in Boston. That turned out as a funny experience!

My luggage got lost as usual and I took a cab to the adress Stella (who I am staying with, she is a civil engineering bachelor student who work with my supervicor at MiT) gave me. When I got there and was trying to find 428 Meomorial Drive, I could only find 410 and 450... The cab leaves and I try to call the number Stella gave me. Its about midnight and some really tired voice answers the phone. No Stella... wrong number.... So there I am, in the middle of the night, lost in a strange city, almost out of batteri on my cell and without luggage... I just couldn't help laughing of myself :)

After checking the number I called I luckely realized that I had dialed a 9 instead of 6, so tried the number I wrote down instead, this time it's luckily Stella answering! And I have just enough batteri to say where I am. Stella was also nice enough to borrow me what I didn't have due to my lost luggage.

Today I have gotten my luggage and the grand tour of MiT from Stella. Its a quite nice university i'll say, but not revolusonary different from NTNU or Auckland Uni for that matter. Well, it have better food than Auckland and more diverse food than NTNU. But just as many bikes as NTNU, which suprices me, I always thougt american just drive and eat crap, and then both in Portland, Corvallis and here it is plenty of nice organic food and everybody bike it looks like. The fun thing is that they have a LOT more MiT souvernirs than NTNU and AU had. I defintly have to buy a t shirt or something :)

And if anyone is wondering what I'm doing in Boston, I'm here to visit my supervicor and work with my spesialization project, It's unfortunatly not hollyday (It's actually buissniss according to my visa, buisniss seems to be if you are here not n hollyday and someone else is paying). Pictures from this trip will come when I get back to Norway, but I might write some more before that. How much I write will most likely just depend on how bored I am sitting here in the really beutiful engineering libary of MiT working :)
