A picture says a thousand words, so they say and I like many people enjoy taking photos, especially while travelling. It's especially fun to take pics of kids but they are a difficult subject because they move around so much and are sometimes a little shy. I always ask them and/or their parents for permission to take their photo. ...

The weather gods have promised us a hot summer and it feels like another scorcher today at 28° C. If you are going to be in Copenhagen in the near future and are looking for an easy, breezy place to relax and enjoy a cool drink, consider heading to a newly opened - June 9th to be exact - bar/restaurant known as “Docken.” Surrounded by sand and breathtaking views over ...

It's another warm day here in Denmark, 28 degrees Celsius (82 degrees Fahrenheit) to be exact. I'm not taking advantage of the good weather really, because I'm still tanned from Thailand. I see people outside of my window roasting in the sun which got me thinking about sunscreen. We may be heading to the south of France this summer and the last time I was there it was so dry ...

The sun rises very early here this time of the year, like at about 4:30 a.m. Since I'm an "A" type that suits me to a tea. I can get most of my work done by noon and save the rest of the day for other things, like going to the beach for example. I've always known that Denmark has spectacular beaches, but it's the weather that's been ...

I just read about the US Air Guitar Championships that were held in Washington, D.C. the other day. So, being the big air guitar fan that I am - mainly because I can't play a lick - I went to their site and took a look at all the winners over the past years. Uggh! It left me with sigh of disbelief and ...

If you happen to be in the Copenhagen area, why not take a trip to one of the oldest zoos in Europe. Established in 1859, The Copenhagen Zoo is Denmark's 3rd largest tourist attraction and is home to around 3,500 animals.

You'll find lions, tropical birds, penguins and my personal favourite elephants. You might even see one of my Thai elephant's relatives. (I know that none of the elephants are really ...

I'm just completing a project about children's drawings and have been reading a bit about Carl Gustav Jung's work. He's an earlier psychoanalyst inspired by Sigmund Freud. His theory goes something like this. He believed that our unresolved conflicts show up in our dreams and drawings. Similar to anger, he believed, if ...

Today, I've been going about my activities like a house on fire. I've been sending out e-mails, sending snail mail, preparing to make a dozen phone calls, all the while wondering, why is it so dang quiet? Then I had an aha moment.

Today is a national holiday! It's "Grundlovsdag," a half work/free day (after noon) for many Danes in recognition of the Danish Constitution Act. According to ekstrabladet.dk there is some confusion with the ...

When I lived in Canada, I recall fondly watching the "Thai Gem Showcase," every once in awhile on The Shopping Channel. If you don't know already, Thailand is renowned as one of the world's leading gems and jewellery exporters and well known for the skill and experience of Thai craftsman in keeping up with international designs and standards. Rubies and even diamonds have been mined in Thailand. West of Bangkok, Thailand in Kanchanaburi ...

It's been 3 weeks since some little flea bag hacked into my yahoo account. I know that the yahoo account was never really mine to begin with, but still... When I opened the free account about 10 years ago, I filled the profile with random lies and innuendo, not wishing to disclose too much and figuring I'd never have to refer to it again. Those of us who have had our wallets ...
