My best friend from uni is coming over today. She was a bridesmaid in my wedding, and I haven’t seen her since then, since she’s currently doing a postdoc in the Netherlands. I’m really looking forward to seeing her, and meeting her partner. The four of us are going out for dinner, if we can find anywhere that’s open!

While I was browsing one of my regular PDA haunts I found something that might be useful to the PDA owners out there who might be considering travelling (and even if you’re not, it’s cool to have!). It’s called Metro, and it ‘computes the shortest route between two subway stations in more than 250 cities around the world’. This would have been useful when I went to Sydney! It also has directions to tourist attractions in some cities. It’s free, and you only put the cities you’re interested on your PDA, so it hardly takes up any room. Anyway, end of plug.
