I'm really having tons of issues with things today...


Right. So the new version of Opera just installed on my main laptop... and I don't know what to think of it. First of all, it seems that I can't access gmail.com at all. Google seems pretty dead also. That would be all dandy except you know that I'm addicted to my email, I need it now!

Don't even bother telling to use Chrome or FireFox or something else, I like Opera, they've been good so far and I love the Opera Link option. I can even access my Opera speed dial and notes on my work computer which doesn't have Opera installed.




In other news, I finally found the ppt templates I was looking for this morning. They were hidden in the Finnish part of the site. I love the internationalisation of Aalto University! Maybe one day we'll have more than 5% of the post-graduate courses in English... maybe!




Finally, let's play "guess what was so interesting in Shanghai that Gali to take a photo of it?"



A photo not focused on the window under the cut.



Yep. It's Carrouf! Alright, so it wasn't that exciting but it's not like you have Carrefour in Finland or something like that.

Edit: yep, it seems it's the new version of Opera that has some troubles with gmail. Let's try restarting Opera.

Edit2: So it seems that when sites refuse to load, you have to restart Opera. I hope it was just a one-time thing though.

Carrouf is the "backwards" way of saying Carrefour. It's a French chain of supermarkets. I knew they were also implemented in countries like Poland but I didn't know they were present in China. It was a rather nice surprise.

I wanted to go in there but alas I didn't mark down the place where we saw it so I couldn't really go back. I would have loved to see if they sold some "Carrefour" brand products!
