While traveling with the Dean of my faculty I learned quite a lot. He's Islandic and he told me good stories from the island. One is that they try to give all new words that dosn't exist in the islandic language, an islandic word. While working with issues as carbonprint, he and his friend came up with the islandik word sotspor.It made me think of design to everyday life as a new word to a

Today, for the first time in my life,I thought "if I only were a boy"...It has nothing to do with discriminationor any thing like that, it´s only the factthat beeing a boy is more secure. I was just talking to a photografer called Carlos,and suddenly I thought; I could never havethis liberty in going around taking photos, I would need a bodyguard to be safe enough...But then I thougt that the

Thursday I was at Radio Mozambique (RM). A beautiful placewith interiors that had survived the 60´s... I met Rosa Langa, a journalist who has wrote a book aboutmozambiquan women. I knew about her because in Norway Ihelped translate some pages of her book to norwegian. She was one of the sweetest woman I have ever met.

Strange when you see an idea and you think; why didn´t I think of that?It´s not really all that strange, because it works like this: Say you live in a city with all the facilities you need around you. When you go to the toilet you may not remember if you have flushed or not. Whenyou coock dinner, you don´t really pay much attention to what kind oftools you use. Of course, you see the things
