Haha, yeah I think Brazil will be more fun than Maastricht.
My next conference is in Sheffield.... Wooo.... Hmmm.... but the next major one I'm going to try to get on is in San Francisco.... Here's hoping.
Problem with Brazil is that a lot of Brazilian scientists don't speak english that well. Some of the Brazilian talks I went to were complete endurance tests.
I think that the ergonomic toilet had some sort of more comfy seat and a washbasin that you could move round to you so you could sit and wash your hands. Also they did a study of how people wiped their arses - apparently there's seven distinct styles :|
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope it was fun!!!!!Invader Zim is a most excellent present...although i rather think they need a spin off series entirely devoted to grr...
Glad maastricht was good - your conference sounds far more exciting than the ones I've been to!!! Did you get to see much of the city?
Yeah, decided that Wednesday held nothing for me as far as the conference went, so spent the entire day walking around the city. Walked far too much, and hurt my feet a bit, but managed to go down every single street in the town centre at least four times, wandered through the university and into the students union, to the natural history museum, a big cathedral and then eventually sat in the park reading for a few hours.
And then the conference party was that night, and I spent most of the time looking for a seat because my feet hurt so much! :(
