Hey guys!!

Well since my last post we have been to Belgium and back to Cologne. Belgium was really nice! especially the chocolate! we spent a bit of time going around the chocolatiers and having some taste testers. haha, we snuck some more everytime the shop keeper turned away, ate so much! Aunty weez - u would go crazy here! hehe. we spent time walking round and seeing Belgium and then caught the train to Cologne. the past few days have been spent at the exhibition which has finally happened! still cant believe I#m showing something at the worlds second largest design fair next to all the top professionals!! Lots of people have been impressed with our work (go lil NZ!!) and maybe a job offer has arisen.....have to wait for further details....

Last night we went to a product launch by a well known designer Ross Lovegrove, he was launching his new product range 'freedom'. At first the person introducing him spoke German so we were thinking the whole thing was in German, we had walked an hour to get there so decided to stay! luckily enough the designer spoke english. He took the time afterwards to come and speak with us which was awesome!!!! This is someone who's work we study at uni. he talked to us for a bit and said to email him when we are in London and he will show us his design studio!!!

We spent our last day at the exhibition today, even though it goes until sunday. we tried to see all the different areas of the exhibition but it is just so big! Off to Munich tomorrow, should be fun!

dont know when my next post will be but before i forget...HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALISHA DICKINSON!!!!!

Ciao
