HAPPY NEW YEAR

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Just like last year, I am not going to do a list of my New Year resolutions for 2011 - but instead chosing my word for the year to come:

Exploring

Well - I do travel a lot, and since the new year is starting with a trip to unknown territories on the very first day of the year, it seems appropriate. I am venturing of to somewhere I have never been before - have some expectations and yet none at all..... I just want to empty my mind from everything called expectations and absorb all now thing around me. Naturally with caution to my health and safety :o)

What would your word be for 2011?

World Wide News Clippings

Yep travelling again - and once more experincing a local Christmas out in the big world :o)

Having a job that is very dependant on logistics solutions and especially JIT (just-in-time), reading this article made me laugh out loud while the air. Here is the part, that initiated the giggling:

His home delivery service too, although unconventional, is light years ahead if the competition. Since deliveries are only made at night, there's no chance of the customer being out at the shops when he arrives Plus he's happy to use the chimney in the event of the front door being locked. Never once have has anybody woken up Christmas morning to find a card on the mat reding "Sorry you were out." It's also a very green service, as the only emmisions from the transport are reeindeer poo.

Merry X-Mas Everyone

Growing up in a place, where X-mas is celebrated, it is hard to imagine that somebody is not celebrating X-mas.

It is true - a large part of Shanghai is decorated for X-mas, but you seldom find anywhere to purchase X-mas ornaments. Even though X-mas is not celebrated in China, they have chosen to X-mas decorate the city anyway. My season spirit did not dissapear while in Shanghai - How could it be when I could photograph decorations like this:

Many downtown streets are filled with Christmas decotrations to greet the Western festival next Saturday.

Happy Xmas Tree of the Day: December 25th, 2010

Merry X-mas everybody

Unfortunately the calendar only counted 24 Happy Xmas Trees and when browsing the official website, I can see that I missed out on some great ones.... buhu :o(

The picture was taken at the kickoff in Copenhagen on November 13th, and if you are wonderingwhy the lady in the picture a carrying small natures-own Xmas trees, it is because the organisers handed out free small Xmas trees that day to everybody, that was insterested in having one.

I hope the upcoming action will result in a lot of money for the forrestation project in Mali, Africa.

"Thank you!" to all the artists for bringing a different Xmas tree to us.
