To be fair, we were all researching our selected cheese and wine for Saturday's final exam. It was quite fun and nostalgic to go through concise, thick guide books and encyclopaedias for information, but ultimately they did not provide enough information.
I took a gamble and brought only my iPad along, even buying a blogging app for this blog, but alas! The thick walls of the re-purposed abbey section that served as our lodgings made access to internet or wifi impossible! Two sweet weeks of no internet and no contact with the outside world! Also, an iPad meant I couldn't create a neat presentation with lots of pictures and fancy fonts. Time to dig up my old-school chalkboard and hand-waving presentation skills.

It was, to date, my most informal meal with a professor. Coming from a culture where your elder - or someone who is your educator and by default knows tons more than you - should be
Admittedly, the wine did serve to lighten up the atmosphere, and Wei Jie and I started behaving like silly old Malaysians. This produced a comment from Dr. Häggblom, something along the lines of 'those two are usually so serious in [Applied Microbiology class]'. Ahaha silly Malaysians.
Finished off the meal with rum and ice cream. I prefer wine still.
