... people who live together and use the power. What a concept. There are examples of this starting to show up in Canada, which is really exciting, but it needs to be scaled up in a serious way. Unfortunately in Denmark, things have changed slightly since a law was adapted in such a way that only allows windmills to be placed at certain points. This made it so that the farmers who happened to have a “windmill point” on their property, could ...

Hello!

Just a quick note. I'm not sure what's going on with TravelPod at the moment but the site appears to be experiencing some technical difficulties. All of my blogs are currently unpublished and saved only as drafts (thankfully I haven't lost any content!). I have tried to republish them and only send the alerts to my parents but I'm not sure if that has been successful ...

... not. And maybe that's how it should be. Maybe that is what is going to make us make the most of every single last day.

15 days left. 360 hours.

When put into that perspective, it doesn't seem like that many hours, does it?

Kind of makes me want to stay awake for a while longer.

Maybe not sleep at all?

I still can't get over walking in on Therese (Sweden) as she curled her blonde hair extensions. That was so funny!

Today my ...

So, I just remembered that I said I would write another post on why these negotiations are so important, and then I came across an email from a friend who had sent around this link

It links to a brief overview of Cop15 and why it ...

One of the great things about Up With People is the educational sessions. Our fearless and dedicated educational leaders, Dave (USA) and Hans (USA) put together some great workshops that make us think and grow in our ideals, beliefs, morals, and values. Today the session was based upon inspiration.

... anymore we went out to the Street, which is just a street where every single building on the street is a bar and we drank. I got back at 6am and we had started at 2pm the day before. I had to admit to Trine the next day that Danes certainly knew how to drink.

... had to head down to Copenhagen for something that had been aranged months ago and wouldnt be back before i was gone. by this time i was sooo tired, still didnt have my bags but i soon recieved those and it was nice to be able get some clean clothes on the weirdest thing about being there was how late it was when it got dark - 10.30pm. A far cry from the 6pm in south africa where i was - my body had a little trouble adjusting to this. well simon (Rach's ...

... next morning it was a wonderful place. We did some canoeing on our first full day there which was a very peaceful and relaxing experience right up until some German sounding kayaking group come along and started yelling at one another across the serene lake. We took off and found another beautiful spot though so all was good! After a couple of hours we thought we'd better call it a day otherwise our arms might fall off and it also looked like it was about to rain so we checked out ...

... and was average. I prefer a buffet. That way I can hit the streets exploring as soon as I am done. Guess I am not really cut out for tours. Or perhaps the Filipino Americans sitting next to us proved to be a chored to talk to. This is so much different from the friendly Filipinos I know. By 10pm we returned to our hotel and the sky is still bright at 11pm. We needed our eye mask to sleep. There wasn't much time to do Aalborg properly.

Once a week I used to meet with the youth group at Hillerød Library to do book, film, pc-game and music reviews. DR-Radio had heard of us and invited us to Aalborg to do a couple of shows. It was a lot of fun, eventhough the trip home wasn't that nice, because we were stuck in Storebælts Tunnelen, because there was a hurrican over Demark that day, yay. But we got home eventually, about 4 hours late.
