Todays News / Aujourd hui

Well guys, how about another MSN conversation?


Alex - the story so far

It's been a while. I left Canada almost 2.5 years ago, and Edinburgh 14 months ago. I'm now doing a PhD at the University of East Anglia in Norwich. But then if you found this page, you probably knew that.

My PhD concerns tectonics and palaeoclimate in Greece, using terrestrial carbonates. I read the BBC news web page a lot. And drink coffee. Oh, and I visit Greece.

I haven't spent a year in Korea or Quebec. Nor have I taken a teddy bear around the world. I don't sunbathe on French beaches. But I do wear a tyvek bodysuit and rubber shoes. Now you're jealous.

For the first year of my PhD, I lived in a 70s residential area in suburban Norwich. As I was leaving, they were just catching up with rumours that Hadrian was building a wall up North.

I have now moved in to central Norwich, and things have significantly improved. There is a pub next door, and a fish and chip shop round the corner. But there are still no donuts.
