Hi,

Today is the final day that I have the opportunity to be hosted by IPNEA on my US assignment.
It has been a very interesting period of my life and I bring with me a lot of pleasant memories when
returning to Sweden. From having met Art Berggreen that was there wneh it all started to the delicious
lunches in our Canteen.

Even though we are in the middle of tough times, we here in Santa Barabara have a lot of things to
be happy about. Whenever I have met an American person, they have expressed a very possitive view
on this town and its people. Golfers can enjoy Sandpiper, Glen Annie, Rancho San Marcos or my
6am Sunday friends at the Municipal course. Economic downturnms and upturns come and go, but is
difficult to change the true quality of life values that we are surrounded with as quickly.

No negatives ? Well the pacific ocean is cold even for vikings and the reason why the term cellphone is used
instead of mobilephone seem to be driven from Service providers view that a pocket phone only should
work in small cells and not be a device you can move seamlessly with.......

All the best
