Sain baina uu!
I leave Monday morning for UB, so I'm in the final stages of packing and planning. There are, of course, two more sets of threateningly official paperwork to do once I arrive in UB but that's next week's problem.
I know the area around my apartment fairly well and know some details about the furnishings of said apartment, thanks to a friend who lived there last summer. This does not, however, fully prepare me for how to best pack for the cold.
I found the following website, which presents a neat (but intimidating) overview of average temperatures and daylight for UB. If you're curious, check it out:

I am a bit of home-body anyways, but I have the feeling I'll be in my apartment by 5 sharp every day and spend my evenings writing up field notes and then playing minecraft or reading on my kindle. The wonders of technology :) It really will be very different and in some ways a lot easier than my first trip in the summer of 2007.
For now, I'm off to a special Thanksgiving dinner :)
Love and hugs,
T
