I recently returned from the NAGTY 2007 Summer School at Leeds University where I spent the past two weeks studying the Japanese and Thai languages interspersed with many fun activities. I met tonnes of awesome people there and had a completely awesome time. Anyhow, for you guys at Leeds the photos are here, and there’s …
Just a quick post today as I’ve finally got to a computer with internet access. The NAGTY summer school is awesome fun and everyone is great.
