We had good fun (irony) by just participating at the events as registration, how to use the library, importance of planing, etc... But afterwards BEERS, very cool time with them getting some beers telling stories comparing several diferent contries and obviously talking about games too :)
During this week the lunch at Juha place was also pretty neat a lot of garbage fun talk during it obviously.
No longer home alone, Tony just brough is ENTIRE house up... or so it seams at least sofa,tv,BED, stereo, bike a looot of stuff... easier for him that lived in Glasgow... oh yeah I even got paied a lunch for helping unpack :). After a day his room was the coolest place in the house! :)

Leaving
To start a trip you need to leave, in my case lovely Lisbon, Portugal. Left it by 9 September for a long one full day trip to Dundee. The limit of load a person can take on a plane is very limited if you want to MOVE YOUR HOME lol, although I did not take the bed I managed to bring a load of stuff exactly 20Kg (the max.) into the plane plus a backpack. This was not an easy feature 2 hours before the check-in I was weighing my self against my self with the bags and realized that I add put too much O_O solution, change bag! lol inside remains but the hand bag is now a very light backpack stuffed to the max! In this feature many help was provided the people helping where afterwards weeping as I boarded ironic I think... "... departing to London, please fasten your seat belts..." VVRRRUUUMMM (nice view) zZzZzZZZzzzZz
