Birthday party in da snow

Saturday, February 7th, 2015

When your girl is celebrating her Birthday and invites friend to Norway for the party, I should have been aware of the ‘consequences’; they made an outside bar, in the snow, brought enough liquor to fill an elephant, or two, Armin van Buuren is playing his (summer) Ushuaia Ibaza set out loud (neighbors are virtually not here 🙂 )…all in all heaps of fun and dancing till we drop! Woohooooooo!!

Smile of the Day: Why people run

Thursday, February 5th, 2015

You might be a fanatic runner…or not 🙂 …well, in case you are; have you ever considered that the real (unconscious) reason that you are running is related to the country you live in?

Seems far fetched, but check out the picture below…tadaaaa! LoL 🙂

Earth from outer space

Wednesday, February 4th, 2015

Very few have the opportunity to look at the Earth from space, but man, wouldn’t everyone LOVE to do that after seeing this YouTube video?

The time-lapse, made by European Space Agency astronaut Alexander Gerst, shows stunning views of the Earth, sunrises, clouds, lightning, auroras, stars, and the International Space Station.

The 12,500 images, stitched together to create this video, are captured during his six-month stay on the International Space Station (which orbits ‘only’ 400 kilometers above the surface of the Earth).

One word: BE-AU-TI-FUL!

Travel into space might very well be an option during my lifetime (commercialized through Elon Musk’s SpaceX?!) so who knows, I and many more might have the opportunity to enjoy the same views one day!
