... more emotions than we ever thought possible:







This picture won a Pulitzer Prize in 1994. It was taken by Kevin Carter during the famine in Sudan.

The picture depicts a famine-stricken child.

What if this was your child?

He is crawling toward a United Nations food camp located a kilometer away.

Your refrigerator is located in the next room.

He is crawling because he is dying. He ...

... t take any writing courses in college except for those that were required to graduate.

What does that say about me?

Did I choose the right career? Or did I just choose the career that seemed logical at the time and because I had a knack for it?

Now, don't get me wrong. I loved my marketing, communication and business classes. They were challenging and fun, and I learned so much.

So why didn't I say that "marketing for a company" or ...

... the dawn the moisture in the grass would evaporate up into the engine and make it impossible to fire. His solution was to park his van with the engine over a tarp. I suspected this was what had happened and if I had taken the distributor cap off I reckon I would have found condensation inside. The problem with the VW camper is of course all your luggage sits atop the engine compartment making access a pain in the butt. However after much perserverence old Madam ...

Stayed in Aarhus as our sleep over stop, mainly becasue Billund has no hostels! Didn't do anything on our night there, as it had taken us about 8 hours to make it there from Berlin, many change overs on trains!

Went to Legoland on the second day. It was ace! Though many children running around, & they seem to think that Criel as an amazing city in Scotland. We eventually got water rides, something whcih we have been looking for since we started!

... visited the town museum and the bog people, which were actually quite fascinating. Apparently in the 1950’s a peat farmer had dug up some human remains that had been well preserved in the bog type conditions. A man called the Tollund Man and a woman called the Elling woman were found. They were thought to be human sacrifices from around the time of 350 B.C. The elderly staff was very ...

... The lines were also inventive since they had lego building stations that the children could play in while their parents went through the lines.  

The parks was also dog friendly and we saw so many cute dogs walking around!!  There were even drinking stations set up by dogs made of legos.  

Fun fact: Cotton candy in Denmark is called "Candy Floss."

We ate at a traditional Danish buffet for dinner that ...

We spent the day at Legoland in Billund and having visited Disney World at the beginning of the summer I took note of a few interesting differences. In general, one thing I've noticed about the Danish culture is how there seems to be a great deal of freedom and trust amongst the people. There were a lot of children at the park; however, I none were on leashes like the ones I had seen at Disney World! Some had their phone numbers written in sharpie ...

Finally a new country to add to the list. It has been a while since I went somewhere new. Of course, I don't have time to spend extra days here on this short trip between London trips. And work is going to keep me busy. Hopefully I will be able to do a little sightseeing in the evenings. Stay tuned.

... to societal norms, then the establishment, at that time, would have had him committed. Especially, considering that Phaedrus was an English Professor. I've said it before. I am at no risk of getting addicted to anything. I might want to know why all these events and experiences are happening but there is no chance of me being obsessed with them. Which leads me to talking about the period after I got back from my Journey. I ...

... back very confused, he let us in for free! I am glad we didn't pay, the band was a high school one, and they weren't all that good! We stayed to finish our beers and left. That night we headed back into town to see the fair and they music which was meant to be very good. We didn't really see any music, and the fair wasn't all that interesting, being full of drunken teenagers. We spotted two people in yellow shirts holding trombones, and Dave asked them ...
