  • Ski trip to Spindleruv Mlyn

    IMG_6095

    December and January was quite busy month with birthdays and house parties in Prague so instead of doing that for my birthday I decided to organize a trip out of town for my Prague friends. With the help of Helge and Pavel I found a small pension in Spinderuv Mlyn, the most popular destination for skiing and snowboarding in Czech Republic. We ended up being 14 people (from 10 countries). Here is part of the first group who took the bus ready to leave Prague.

    The first day the weather was not the best but it snowed as well so we had pretty good slopes to work with.

    About half the group went skiing and all of those had done it before. The other half went snowboarding with most of them being first-timers. This of course made the snowboarders drop on a regular basis for the enjoyment of the rest of us. Heres Grace after a less than graceful fall.

    On the cool-scale Bjorn the German took the price skiing in his lederhosen with a regular coat. He was laid back as he went down the mountain and never hit the deck.

    The nightlife in Spinderuv Mlyn turned out to be a lot of fun as well where we danced till we were completely done.

    I dont really know what Mickey Mouse and Krteek was doing at the club but at that point we thought it was fun.

  • When I get old

    30 by lcrf/Luis

    Today I crossed the imaginary line into my 30s. Dont feel much different than yesterday but I guess it is still a line in the sand that marks the end of something and the beginning of something else.

    When I was a kid I always thought that when I was 30 I would be grown up and have everything sorted. But since then Ive realized that you are only as settle and sorted as you want to be

  • Happy B-day to Blogging.Gelle.dk

    24th of April 2005 – 3 years ago – I started blogging here. Back then I started blogging and did it in Danish because I was going to do an internship in US for one year and wanted an easy way to keep a travel journey and keep friends and family updated. About August 2006 I switched to English since I was moving back to Denmark and I decided to leave it at that. Check the archive if you want to see previous posts.

    Blogging Gelle stats

    I have made 207 posts so thats 1.3 post per week. My stats only go back to 15th November 2005 but since then the site has had 29,323 visits. 10,810 of these were on the post about running a company using free office products online. It ended up on the frontpage of digg.com and sent my server to its knees. Apart from that spike I average about 20-30 visits per day – which I am very satisfied with :)

    I started using Flickr at the same time. Above is the first picture there which is from my graduation from Aalborg University June 2005. Since then I have uploaded 5,226 pictures or 33.5 picture per week. My most viewed picture on Flickr is the guy with the grillz. My most interestingnessed picture is a panorama of the Big House in Ann Arbor.
