Israel stops the Gaza blockage

After 4 years, Israel has finally lifted the blockade of the Gaza area. Only later to be defined restricted things like arms etc cannot be brought into the Gaza area. This is a great step I think in bringing some humanity back to that region. And in the end, even though i do not condone terrorism in any way, i believe that terror and atrocities create atrocities. Therefore this is a great step forward. Let’s hope this brings down the tension out there.

Sometimes people suprise me.

Worldcup

Not watching the game

>The worldcup in South Africa has started and so has the craziness. I usually watch the games of #Ned but this year it seems to be slipping a bit past me. I saw the first half against Denmark and today almost the whole game. And i must say, it was a bit disappointing. We won, but not the great soccer these guys can play. Let’s hope they will get into their strides.

The WC has been a bit strange in a number of ways. France beaten by Mexico. Germany by Serbia. Strange things are happening and I have no idea who is going to win.

But the strangest thing? The whole riot regarding the socalled Bavaria Babes. Dutch girls wearing orange dresses (which have been made by a dutch beer brewer). The dresses do not show any big logo’s and therefore i would expect to be no issue. But no, it is a “commercial activity” or so the FIFA is trying to tell us, and therefore not allowed. Well, you made the brewers day, because the news is all over the world now. And even in countries outside the netherlands, you probably heard of Bavaria by now :D

Airport rebooted

Due to the vulcano ashes of Iceland, the whole of Europe shut down it’s airports and flight movements. This was a quite time for all of us. Now, the flights have been started up again.

The following video shows this in a great animation. At first it was quite, and you can see a small amount of test flights.. and then.. it really goes back to business.

Enjoy
