Since last week I’m staying in Durham together with Tinne for the next two months.
Tinne went to Durham last month because she’s doing her work placement. University college students in Belgium have to do three months of work placement in order to graduate. Tinne studies languages, so it was especially interesting to do her work placement in another country.
For me it doesn’t matter where I do my job, so I decided to join her in Durham city. We made some pictures to make you guys jealous.
I kinda wonder why we organized Guadec 2007 in Birmingham, given that Durham is such a beautiful city.
Yay for durham! Feel free to drop me an email if you’re looking to know which restaurants to try. I live about 1km away from 9th street.

Mostly because durham is a backward place, with a population somewhat reminiscent of deliverance… Although there is one shinging light of durham town center… That is the Angel inn…

If you go there, be careful of “Tucky” he is a strange man, but tell him that latty sent you and you should be in for a few tales he’ll tell…
F/OSS people in durham? Not when I was doing my undergrad there, 2001-2004 :(
Seth, since when do you live in England?
Philip, GUADEC was in Birmingham because people who organised it lived in Birmingham.
Good thing you have Newcastle around the corner .. :)
Jon: I was there 2003-2007, and at John’s too :-) However, I only really became involved with OSS in 2005…
Wow, So the pictures of the cathedral looks like duke’s chapel and buildings.
I never saw ‘uk’ anywhere there so I honestly thought he was in durham, nc
