This was taken for Anna after she left because she wanted a picture of the lift. The people who just happened to be in there at the time are Sam, Markus, and Lindsey. |
| Here are The Flatmates from the Yellow Block's eighth floor. Left to right: me, Juana (Peru/Spain), Katja (Germany), and Ingrid (Estonia). Not pictured: Amanda (North Carolina). |  |

Brenda, who set up a more permanent existence in Oulu than the vast majority of international students, had in her possession a computer and access to the almighty Internet. Here, Lindsey borrows some of Brenda's permanence. |
| Brenda's flatmate, Riitta, has a "puppy" named Reuben. He's a sweetheart, but he tends to be very excited, and he is also very large. Here, he is enjoying a moment of relative calm with Kacey, me, and Rose (all from Greensboro). |  |
