100% Design

A couple of days ago, I got an e-mail with my badge ID number for 100% design. I then remembered the 100% design, a huge design trade show, was going on this weekend and I whisked out today to go and look through the show. It was pretty fun, and really inspirational to see all of the stuff that is developing. By far my favorite part was a section they called 100% Materials. They had small samples of tons of different materials, some which I was familiar with, but tons that I had never heard of before. Here are some wonderful pictures:

Also, tonight, I FINALLY met the majority of my flat-mates. There are 7 of us total, 2 Taiwanese girls, one Thai girl, one Welsh boy, one English boy, one Chinese boy (who I have not met), and me. Most of tonight involves us talking about how the Taiwanese girls may not be on speaking terms with the Chinese, and a good old English spar between me and and English chap. Several of them are starting school tomorrow, and so I have been put in charge of throwing them a "hooray for the weekend" party on Friday. The theme, as requested by the Englishman, will be High School Musical/ American Football.

Also, I learned a very important thing today. It's not that an English person "can't be asked" it's that they "can't be arsed!"
