Happy birthday, Harald!

Harald, one of the Norwegian bunch in my class, is 24 years old (or young) today. This soon to be energy trader has become a good friend, and one of my presents to him is that I will grant his lifelong wish to get his 15 minutes of fame. So here he is:



One of his great achievements this autumn was when he went straight from nachspiel to play in a football tournament. Despite the fact he's in the Energy, Trade & Finance class he played for the Shipping class. And even though he had problems kicking the ball in the first game, he actually scored some goals and the Shipping team ended up winning the tournament! I think this is all part of his luck though, and I look forward to my shoulder recovering so I can squish him in squash!
We had a great time yesterday, when we celebrated his birthday. The celebration started a bit slow, with Norway being embarassed against the Czech Republic. Although the game ended 1-0 to the Czechs, the Norwegian team played so bad it was terrible to watch. I've never been to the Seamen's Church in London (or in any other city for that matter) before, it was nice. After the game we went to Maxwell's near Covent Garden to eat and celebrate. A couple of hours later we ended up at the Garden Club 50 metres away, also a nice place. All in all it was a good evening! So once again, happy birthday!
