China is really the most unusual country now – so many things are made in China that most probably this goods will fill up not only all countries which are capable to buy them but also those poor countries where people are hungry. I think that next they will start producing food and then money for people could buy it.
My friend Adin has sent me a heap of photos from Santorini.
Photos certainly are very beautiful - like from magazines, but it seems to me that on Santorini or any other island there is nothing to do now. Certainly heat also gives few pleasant feelings, but now when there for certain are only winds and hungry dogs are walking between the closed restaurants.... brrrr!
It is interesting, why in those areas of the Earth where there are many factories, power stations and other objects made by people’s hands, constantly there are cataclysms? Japan always suffer from destructive earthquakes, USA from tornado. May be people break some kind of Earth’s energetic balance?
Last night all our family was looking at photos of our last summer holidays. The best impressions have remained from cruise to Egypt. My son even has told, standing in front of the cruise liner that this is not a ship but the whole house. There was a very good entertainment program. We were really surprised with a great supper during this cruise.
We have decided that next year we shall necessarily buy tickets for cruise around of the Indian islands.
The same pleasant impressions have remained from Cyprus villas, which we rented together with our friends. Especially bright impression was of that moment when the small fire has begun, but we have extinguished it together and even managed to make a short video.
Everything is cool in the summer and so sad around in the autumn. I want to be in summer again!
Exclusive the two-decked plane, capable to transport up to 850 passengers at a time, Airbus A380, has made its first commercial flight. Extraordinary advertised Singapore Airlines flight, tickets on which were on sale on auction, has come to the end without undue incident.
Organizers have made a real show of the liner’s first commercial flight. Tickets for the flight were on sale on the eBay Internet-auction. 455 persons have paid for tickets about 1.32 million US dollars. The most expensive ticket cost more than hundred thousand dollars, and the cheapest was sold for 560 dollars. All earned money will go for charity.
A380 in figures:
1200 persons can go in under A380 wing;
850 – is a maximum number of passengers;
200 films available for viewing during the flight;
13 of A380 which will be made in 2008;
2 double beds in first class compartment;
11 airlines which have already ordered A380;
5 years needed for internal design of the plane;
500 kilometers of wires in the plane.
It is curious, that Boeing did not begin to compete with Airbus in manufacture of huge planes. American manufacturer has another strategy - Boeing consider, that in the world more and more new directions will open, not liners-giants, but usual on size planes will be necessary. Therefore new Boeing child - the 787 Dreamliner liner - is capable to transport only from 200 up to 300 passengers. But due to the improved configuration and new technologies it is capable to save much more fuel, than all existing now analogues.
The throughput of crude oil is concentrated only in 15 countries, 120 countries have the potential for biofuel production. Eventually, not everybody have money to drill a hole on thousand meters in searches of oil, but many countries can plant cane sapling – then they can make of it ecologically pure fuel.
There is a logical question - and why there is no this manufacture till now?
Today I have a competitive spirit. Most of all I want to ride in an amusement ride or to drive a car on a high speed. I don’t want to do that on my car that is why I will hire a car on Crete. This Friday evening I’ll fly there. I must do something pleasant for me or all my life will pass on work. I’ve found a sport Subaru in Crete car hire. What a name?! Why they didn’t named their agency with a name of a Greek god, for example…
Hm… they better know. But I want sooner to the blue sea and to drive along the beach.
Today I’ve found out that my credit card is empty. I was really shocked! It was just a mistake!
This day was terrible!!
