http://milan.rostorp.org Rostorp in Milan Mon, 13 Apr 2009 19:10:12 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Last posts, last parties. Exams are over, it's been some insane final weeks regarding project work, presentations and exams. The most surprising element is how unorganized exams are. I had four, none of them started on time, and the worst case reached a 35 minute delay because there was a ... http://milan.rostorp.org/?p=33 Early December marks the CEMS Annual and Graduation event. Let's cut to the chase, there's a career fair - it's like any career fair - and it's not very interesting. However, for the people graduating there's a large graduation dinner, for students there's a buffet and after some hours everyone ... http://milan.rostorp.org/?p=32 So the second week was kind of short, not because they have less than seven days a week in Australia, but because Camilla had to study for exams (and I supposedly had to do some group work for the studies in Italy). Anyhow, on Tuesday 13th, as soon as Camilla ... http://milan.rostorp.org/?p=31 The second week kicked off with a two day trip to Surfers Paradise. Surfers is a town located on Gold Coast which, as the name reveals, is a series of towns on the coast, much like the French Riviera. Surfers, located about one hour south of Brisbane, was originally a ... http://milan.rostorp.org/?p=30 I assume it’s no surprise for most of you that I spent my mid-term break in Australia visiting Camilla (woohoo!). I departed from Milan on Saturday 27th of October, following a nice Friday party evening of course, flying over London and Singapore, and arriving in Brisbane Monday morning. Camilla and ... http://milan.rostorp.org/?p=29 This weekend my parents visited me here in Milan, arriving on Friday morning and leaving Monday afternoon. Friday evening I just put my apartment at display followed by aperitivo. It quickly turned out that they also enjoyed the concept so we ended up having aperitivos every evening. As for sight seeing, ... http://milan.rostorp.org/?p=27 It's been slow on updates lately. Basically we entered "everyday" life with following lectures, doing group works, and partying or at least going out for a few drinks 5 times a week. And as the "everyday" life doesn't warrant camera's as much, I haven't had much to update. Never the less, ... http://milan.rostorp.org/?p=26 The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd of September the student organization organized a bus trip to Tuscany. Leaving at 6:15 Italian time (7ish) from the university we drove to a nature park to enjoy some lunch. From there we went to a wine castle in Tuscany to try some ... http://milan.rostorp.org/?p=25 This is one of the events I have anticipated ever since I first heard of it. It's a simple concept, and beyond that I'll let the pictures speak for themselves: - Rent a special tram - Get a Heineken sponsorship - Get 40-50 people into Heineken merchandise and decorate the tram with Heineken - ... http://milan.rostorp.org/?p=24 On Wednesday September 12th nine of us set sails, or wheels, for Rimini in two cars. We stayed a hostel not to far from the beach as September is already out of season for Rimini. The town was indeed a bit dead, but it was a great trip which lasted ... http://milan.rostorp.org/?p=22
