Intro

Those of you who read my previous blog knows that I have been planning a trip to Japan since last year. In this trip I was supposted to work in a research project and as a part of a student exchange program.
A few weeks ago I was told that there were some problems with the project, and that I therefore couldn't leave this fall. Luckily the danish professors who were planning this stay quickly contacted another connection of theirs, professor Chrisoph Rose-Petruck, who works at Brown University in Providence in the state of Rhode Island. In spite of the very short notice, Christoph was willing to accept me as a student from August this year, so we started planning the stay.

As it looks now, I'm going from August the 12th until December the 23rd. I still don't have my visa or a place to live, and I know very little of what I will be doing there, but I will figure all this out during the next couple of weeks.
