It was a real pleasure to be driven round Christchurch discussing all different
kinds of topics with you. Looking back, it felt weird somehow to meet a person
almost totally strange and then to share so many thoughts within just a couple
of hours. And we did not really talk about OM, did we? To be able to meet like
this must be the good side of Globalisation.

;-) Well, I do not quite understand how you got this effect. It must be the
sharp contrast between foreground and background. See the picture Eva has taken
of us here: www.i4.auc.dk/berndm/nz2/christchurch The background is almost
burnt out.

Really nice work. My slides from Evans Pass did also turn out great. I have to
scan a few of them soon.
Best regards,
Bernd
