Almost home


Polls closed at 2100 and we were done counting about an hour later. Approximately 39% of those eligible voted.

It's great that the sun is just setting so I don't have to walk home in the dark.

Yikes!


How am I going to finish this?

Election gig update


The place hasn't exactly been hopping. Only 8 people voted during the first hour.

Before my lunch break, we sorted the votes that were cast in advance. The way voting works here is you put the pre-printed sheet with the name of your chosen party in your envelope and since you only get to vote for one party, your envelope should only contain one sheet. The height of excitement so far has been spotting envelopes with two sheets.

Am done with lunch and will now have dessert before I head back.

Can't remember where your internal organs are?


Katy Perry to the rescue!

This is one of the shirts designed by various celebrities for "Fashion against AIDS!" These shirts are sold at H&M stores worldwide. Also check out the shirts by Moby and Dangerous Muse.

Fascinated by security features


The most significant difference between the old passport and the new one is the addition of a page detailing all the security features.

Some of the security features can be observed by looking at the information page from different angles. Was tilting my passport around while standing and waiting for the train yesterday when a Jehovah's witness approached, handed me a pamphlet and wished me luck(?).

Other features require that you hold the information page up to a light source. Took care of that with a flashlight this morning.

Now I just need a UV-light source...
