Project subject and Housing

All this time I have such a surreal feeling. Me 24 weeks living in an abroad country and saying goodbye to people for half a year. This week lots of last goodbyes for the next six months. 

Well I have good news, this weeks lots of things have happend. I have received my project description! I will do a research to the use off a biomass driven mechanical drying technique for drying fresh harvested coffee beans. Normally, the beans are sun dried and sometimes mechanically. There are some problems with a biomass driven drying technique. My job is to try solving these problems and/or suggest solutions. Besides that there is a possibility I will help with a project which focusses on the reuse of process water which is used on the coffee plantations.



Some more good news? YES! I have a place to stay in Viçosa, a really good place! It is right in front of the UFV campus, an apartment on the fifth floor. The apartment is shared with two other students. I already have some contact with one of them, a very nice guy. See pictures below.


My room, yes I have yet to furnish it. But my apartment mate has offered me to help me with that! 




The beautiful view from my bedroom! The UFV campus starts on the left where you can see the roundabout.

Até mais!

  1. Gaaf Bart! Je appartement ziet er echt top uit! Zeer uitnodigend!
    Fijn om te weten wat je stage-opdracht wordt, daar kun je nu naar toe leven! Nog een dikke twee weken en dan gaat het gebeuren! Zitten we wel in dezelfde tijdzone! Succes met de laatste loodjes!

  2. Hey Bart, niet verkeerd man!
    Ik wens je een goeie reis (neem het ervan aan boord :-) ) en ik ben reuze benieuwd naar je allereerste indrukken.
    Give 'm hell Bart!
