About me

Hello, my name is Kari Haugsdal and this is a small introduction of my self and this blog. I am Norwegian, and normally I study at NTNU in Trondheim, Norway. My major is Computer Science and this is my fourth year, witch I will be spending in Japan at an Artificial Intelligence lab at Tokyo Tech or Tokyo Institute of Technology, as it is named.

I will stay here from September 2008 to August 2009, trough a program called YSEP, Young Scientist Exchange Program. We are about 30 people from all over the world in the program.

Besides school I am planning to learn as much Japanese as possible, travel and experience loads of new fun things, and get to know a lot of nice new people, both Japanese and international students. So my schedule is kind of full for the future ^^

The firs half of this blog is written in Norwegian, that is from September 2008 to December 2008. I started writing in English in my Christmas Special that takes place in Norway, to tell people here in Japan about my life back home. When I came back I didn’t see any reason to stop writing in English, so now my blog is for everyone to read, enjoy.

In Norwegian:

Kari Haugsdal heter jeg, og akkurat nå befinner jeg meg i Japan på et helt års utveksling ved Tokyo Tech, eller Tokyo Institute of Technology som det heter.

Jeg vil være her fra og med september 2008 til august 2009. Programmet jeg går heter YSEP, Young Scientist Exchange Program, og vi er rundt 30 stykker fra hele verden der.

Jeg studerer vanligvis data teknikk ved NTNU, og har blitt tatt opp ved en kunstig intelligens labb ved Tokyo Tech, hvor jeg vil gjøre et lite prosjekt i løpet av året. Ellers har jeg planer om å lære så mye Japansk som mulig, reise og oppleve en masse nytt og gøy og bli kjent med flest mulig nye koselige mennesker, både Japanere og andre internasjonale studenter. Så fullt program fremover ^^
