Norway; visited Oslo several times again (doh) and Trondheim for the first time. Oslo houses lots of great friends that make taco’s, go skiing, and appreciate good (fricking expensive) beer. And of course Opera!
Japan; visited Michael again in Tokyo and went to Fukuoka to give a talk. Japan is awesome by the way. I really want to go back again, but it looks like it will not happen before next summer.
Spain; Charles threw a big birthday party in Maraña.
