I know everyone is still buzzing over their Steemfest experiences
recapping interesting conversations about Steem, what it needs or what it doesn't need, or all the fun and cool steemians in real life and why you shouldn't mix tea with beer or lend your scarf ^^
I came back and it took me awhile to clean up my room from last minute packing..
While tidying up life keeps on going and interesting conversations keep on happening :)
I thought I'd share some of them in a series of posts (with the kind permission of my friends).
Wanna skype? does it work on the South Pole?
no, sorry.....interent is extremely limited, we only get it a few hours a day over satelite
and the bandwidth is very lowooo! it's daylight all the time huh? B)
yes! Need to put cardboard on my window to sleep
How long are you going to be there?
about 3 weeks
use plenty of sunscreen x)
You'll get sooooo tanned there hahahaha, yes! thanks
Are you at Amundsen-Scott? A family friend stayed there, when calculating the existence of the subglacial lake Vostok. it was back in the 60s :) a soviet researcher at an american base...
yes, I'm at Amundsen-Scott base
so cool! he was there as well.
oh, wow! that was probably with the old station, the so called "dome"
They used to have a 20 m perimeter marked with barrels around the South Pole, and if you walked around them you could buy a diploma for a dollar at the base. It identified you as a person who had made a round trip around the world xD
Then the barrels were completely covered by snow, so they started to sell the South Pole membership cards. Do they still sell those? if yes i'd like one for Xmas :Dnice! they don't have that anymore ;) but i can still travel around the world.....i think i did so yesterday several times
lol you are the world traveler
i think in the 60s was even before the dome station! must have been the original one

Wow!!! It's a huge building now!!!
yes, like a spaceship!
That's amazing!!!

I wish he was still alive. So now I know two physicists who went to the South Pole :)
ah yeah, i could have sent him a postcard from here if he were still alive
can you send one to me?
sure :) satelite is going offline in 1 minute
see you!
this particular friend kept bugging me to start learning Python for years until I caved this September :)
Dear P, if you are reading this, thank you for being in my life after all.
Talk to you tomorrow!

Hey Kryp :) Glad you’ve found it entertaining! I didn’t expect to get a hello from such deep South xD while digging through a pile of sweaters. That was super unexpected <3

Hey now, mixing tea with beer wasn't such a bad idea, he looked all fine after that.

I was, or wasn't I? When Martin had a bunch of beers and then he got a big pot of tea. Then we all had pizza. Or, isn't that what you meant? :))

Ah the literal 🍺&🍵 mixing was two days before that. You didn’t come because you had a presentation early the next day.

Shit, I remember that night! It was the night I slept the earliest from the whole SteemFest, only 2 AM, so boring. You miss so much in a single night, damn presentations.
