Week fourteen (June 26, 2005)

I'm sorry to have to say that the female staff hunt I planned for this week has failed miserably. Even though there were two staff parties this week (the French party at June 21st and the Global Common 3 party at June 25th, I did not - for reasons specified below - use the opportunity to grab female staff and drag them on a photograph together with me.

· Female staff hunt

The origin of the "female staff hunt" was a task imposed on me by my friends back home. Before I came to Japan, they started joking about monthly missions I would have to execute for them, like "get a picture with two naked Swedish girls". For various reasons I decided to go ahead with a slightly different project, which is taking photographs of female Expo staff with me. The "with me" part is important insofar as that my folks back home apparently were suspecting me of faking the photographs. Originally I had intended to take as many pictures as possible during the week around the 25th of June, which marked the end of the first half of the Expo.

As it turned out, the day I intended to use to walk around the Global Commons and take photographs turned into a full working-day for me due to one of the other staff becoming ill. On my day off I also decided against going all the way to the Expo site in order to regain some strength for the next week. Also, at the abovementioned staff parties, I was quite too exhausted to start talking all kinds of girls into taking photographs with me.

However, not all is lost. I will keep the project in mind and still continue to take female staff pictures when I get around to it. So don't be disappointed by the (so far) meager outcome just yet. To all the ladies which were so kind as to have their picture taken with me, thanks heaps!
