Now he’s gone the bears are not afraid anymore, as one was spotted in Floda the other day. As Nathan says “Whoa. Suppose they have nothing to be afraid of, now that I’m not around”.

Chain Reaction – UMA School of Architecture
Just finished the introduction workshop for UMA School of Architecture, so with the help of Anton and Allan, the students managed to set the fire alarm off twice and flood small sections of most of the building. It was a wonderful week and the students excelled in making a very large coffee machine. Congratulations to all involved.
