  Leif Andersson     Biography    
Recorded: 08 May 2008

Well I’m still interested in animals and nature. I really enjoy being in nature, walking. What I enjoy with my position in Upsalla is that every morning I walk through a forest to my work, I can heard birds singing while I’m walking to work and thinking about what to do. I’m also interested in sports, I like soccer for instance.
