So let me tell you a little bit about my roommates. There is Ivor, a 3D artist who was an architect before but got bored by it (and did assistant planing of buildings like the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue, which is world famous), his girlfriend Attie, working in fashion and 
Stephane, a french architect.
just coming back from a 13 month Beijing trip, where he was the project designer for one of the most expensive and tallest construction projects of the world, to be finished in 2008. He was the lead architect for the hotel next to the new media building for the Olympic games 2008 in Beijing, which is the front building on the picture. in fact the two buildings are that extraordinary that there is an exhibition in the MoMa (Museum of Modern Art) which we visited today. And this guy just turned 28, quite impressive, eh? 
The funny thing about this exhibition is, that Stephane has never seen 
it, because on the opening day, he was all the time with Ivor at the buffet, enjoying talks and wine and when he wanted to have a look, the room was already closed. quite congenial guy, eh?
Anyhow, here you can see him in front of the models of the two buildings.
And the guy on the next picture with the irresistible smile is Ivor :)  and afterwards we had of course a very nice something at the MoMa and maybe the best fried rice in town at Sapporo.
