Great website

I have just found this great site.

http://www.pandora.com/

Type in the name of your favorite band, and within moments the site will be streaming a radio station, featuring songs from that band and others like it, to your desktop through your browser — no registration and no downloads required. You can "tune" the play list by using the thumbs-up and thumbs-down buttons. A new Backstage section is a searchable directory of artists and albums — "your door to the music universe" — courtesy of the Music Genome Project.

I hope u like it!

Hi,

I know some of you want to go to Portugal this year, and asked me some suggestions. So here is a list of my favourite places:

. Lisbon: the capital

http://www.strawberryworld-lisbon.com/lisbon/index.html

. Porto: the North’s most important city. It is an UNESCO world heritage site

Near Porto:
. Guimaraes, another UNESCO world heritage town

Near Lisbon:
. Cascais: a stylish summer resort, also very pleasant in winter :)
. Sintra: classified in the UNESCO World Heritage list, is famous for its palaces and woods
. Obidos: a small town completely enclosed by medieval walls

In the south:
. Evora: a museum town of Roman origins, with its historic centre classified in UNESCO’s International Heritage list
. Marvao: notable for its impressive castle (13th-14th-centuries) and the wonderful views it affords.
. Mertola: the town’s main attraction is its castle, built by the Moors, with a guard tower from the 13th-century. Mértola has three important museum sites as a consequence of the intense archeological activity there. The Roman museum occupies the Town Hall building. The Islamic collection includes the country’s most important archive of ceramic objects (9th to 13th-centuries). Here too is one of the rarest early Christian basilicas in the entire Iberian peninsula (dating from the 5th-century).
. Monsaraz: a beautiful medieval village, with castle, walls and fortifications

. Algarve (if you want to go to the beach, go in the summer). Worth visiting: Lagos, Sagres, Tavira, Vilamoura.

Party

There is going to be a party tomorrow for all postgraduate students. It is at 7pm in the Student Union Phineas bar (3rd floor). It is FREE ENTRY and ONE FREE DRINK for all UCL postgraduates. There will be live Jazz music, as well. It seems great!

Me and Jenny are going. Does anyone else from CPH want to go?

We need a new bench in the ground-floor kitchen.
Look what happened to the only one we had!
Be very careful when you sit down!



By the way, welcome to the new resident in the ground-floor, although I haven't met him yet.

Maybe next time I will post a photo of me naked. Probably that way every resident will visit the blog. Or maybe it should be you, Geno, since the majority of the residents are girls :)
