Today I used a fun-fact application for my Facebook friend list, and here come some numbers: *In 2008 when I was not an IB-er at JAMK: – I had 40 friends – Friends from 4 countries – Friends from 2 continents of Asia and America *Now at the beginning of 2011 when I’ve enjoyed my…

I had International Business Law today. You may assume having Law classes in morning is one of the sleepiest things you have to stand; but the reality, or should I say the JAMK-reality is much brighter. 😀 Our Law teacher only introduced and explained main ideas in the first half of the class, and then…
