Thursday
Brian had alot to drink when we went out the night before so I ended up eating breakfast with melissa while he was sleeping.
He got up and they both drove me to the station.
I spend the afternoon in the train and was back at 12pm where I joined a party at the hostel at met Sarah from Australia which was cool, I got to bring back alot of old memories..
Friday
The party went on to around 05.30 that morning and I was up again at 09.30 to go to San Lesandro to meet Faizi to return the paint suits and to say goodbye. After that I went to Berkeley to visit the Cliff Bar company. Unfortunately I could get to talk to the right people but I still got to feel the atmosphere of the place. They have build the company around many of the things we talk about in school.
I had dinner with the australien group before they left town and ended my own night by going to a stripclub...hehe called Showgilrs located on Broadway...
Saturday...
Flying out to Denmark... This is where it all ends...

wednesday 26/4 - tuesday 2/5-06
Andrew.. You can reach me on my mail: mooshimoose@hotmail.com
Wednesday 26/4.
today I developed the pictures for the showroom and made the written material ready.
In the afternoon I went to the genius bar in the apple store to fix a small annoying thing in the program safari on my computer. After 4 hours and all the magic the nerds in the genius bar could pull I couldn't even open safari. So I was tired and disappointed when I got back home.
Thursday 27/4 - showroom day
Today I started out the day by passing out about 1000 flyers for our showroom. In the end it turned out that that didn't help anyway since the only big disappointment of thursday night's showroom was the missing guests.
I went back to the apple store to fix my computer problem. After 2 hours I was done and this time very happy... Got the new Tiger and Ilife 06 installed for free. So now I have a brand new computer..!
We sat up everything for the showroom before we opened the doors 4 p.m.
Bandits presented a video documentary of the outcome from the workshop on sustainability we made saturday the 22/4.
On the wall we had made a picture presentation so the guests could figure out what the video was about and how we made the workshop and what questions we asked the participants.
I was very happy with our contribution to the showroom.
Friday 28/4
I took the train to Sacramento to visit Amy.
It was very nice seeing her again.
We went out for dinner and a couple of drinks with her roommate Jen.
Saturday 29/4
Today Jen, Amy and I walked around the old Sacramento. Here we went to the candy shops where you can get free samples. They are known for there salt water taffies.
In the evening we brought back a video and relaxed with a cool video (derailed)
Sunday 30/4
After getting back from sacramento I went to meet the rest of the class at Elise and Ulli's place.
We had a nice barbecue (the weather allowed us to wear t-shirt and shorts)
The barbecue turned into a fun party.
Monday 1/5 - Ipod day
Today I got up early to wait for Fedex to deliver the ipod I just bought online. Bought it online in the first place to save 30 dollars ( besides the 100 dollars you save for buying it here instead of DK)
I called Fedex and confirmed when the package should arrive but when I went to look for him he had already been there. So the only thing I could do was to go to their office to pick it up in the end of the day. Unless I wanted to stay home all day to wait for Fedex to come back.
First they told my to get on the freeway to get there but fortunately I figured out I could bike there anyway. Thought it was to far since they wanted me to get on the damn freeway.
I went all around town to get some records and cds before going to Fedex.
When I got there I couldn't get my package because I didn't have an ID with my american address on (which I can't get cause I'm only here for three month.) In the end I wanted to call apple to get help and fortunately the woman from fedex figured out that my phone number on my cell phone I was calling from matched the number on the contract so than I finally got my ipod.
Tuesday 2/5
today we started the evaluation of our project here in San Fran. It was nice to visualize the things we have done until this point.
In the afternoon we had a lecture with the CEO from Gap, Ivy Ross.
She was so cool and had some very interesting entrepreneurial stories to tell.
She started out by working in a firm making jewelries. Her CEO would buy different jewelries already on the marked and ask her to make some similar. And when she came up with good ideas they were turned sown. So she made her own jewelries called them small wonders and send them on the marked under her own company. Her CEO came one day with a small wonder product and asked her if she could make anything like that. Ivy answered that she was looking at the creator already and from there she quit that job.
She used to work for Matel where she developed a new working environment around gathering a group of people from the company with diversity and different competencies.
