Wow! Norway is cold!

Actually, it isn't that bad. And Bergen is famous for being rainy, supposedly. But there has been a nice, warm sun at my back in the rooms I had been working in for both days so far.

Random observations:

- It's clean here. There isn't trash all over the place, or graffiti covering every surface.

- As with everywhere else that I have visited, there are a lot of American-isms about – I bought Pepsi at a 7-11, and I've seen a lot of big ol' American pickup trucks (Silverado!). A lot of signs are in English.

- I flew from Amsterdam to Bergen via KLM and on the plane, we had Ben and Jerry's Vanilla Toffee Crunch ice cream.

- There seems to be a lot of stone walls and fences and the like, but most of the houses I can see appear to be wood.

- There isn't a lot of snow, but there were slight snow showers overnight.

- Pizza is the international crisis-situation-means-working-late food, but Norwegian pizza isn't very good.

- The folks in the office seem to have their boots for outside, then office shoes like Birkenstocks or Tevas or some other type of sandal.

- Coffee is as readily available (maybe even more so) than tea in the UK. You can get coffee in the UK, but it's instant. Here, it's brewed/filtered coffee. And they have these really neat coffee machines. No pots or anything – just stick your cup under and get a fresh cup of coffee. And it's really good coffee.

I was supposed to fly out at noon today (Wed, 12 Dec) but had to reschedule so that I am flying out at 6:30AM!! I guess I shouldn't really complain – It's not as if I haven't been randomly waking up somewhere between 3-5 in the morning anyway.

Hopefully today I will get to see something. I intend to get some debugging done this morning, based on our discovery over night. Then, rerun a complete new discovery, which will take some time. During that time, maybe I will get to do something interesting.

There are other things I was going to say, but I need to go meet my colleague for breakfast.
