A couple of Danish bloggers are continuing the tradition started last year by Pollas of making a Christmas Calendar of videos. Here is my contribution:

Update – came across this cute description today of the Prague Christmas market.
I decided to try and hitchhike the 900 km from Prague, Czech Republic to Århus in Denmark. Here is my story.

Three weeks ago Femi and I went to Munich for Oktoberfest. Boy was that a fun weekend – Stefan, who we met in Ostrava, hosted us and showed us around the city of Munich and Theresienwiesen were oktoberfest takes place.
So its been a week since I got back to Prague so its about time I start to tell something about Hawaii. Here is a video from our hike on the Kalalau Trail read more below.
The highlight of the three weeks was without a doubt the four days we spend in the island of Kauai. Kauai is the oldest islands of Hawaii and also known as the Garden Isle because of the flourishing nature found here. Its one of the wettest spots in the world and the massive amounts of water has shaped the rock into what is called pali in Hawaiian. On this picture you can see the palis:
Fernando had gotten hold of permits for us to hike the Kalalau Trail. The trail follows the the massive windswept Na Pali coastline overlooking lush green valleys and towering rocky cliffs that rises almost 1200 meters to the deep blue pacific below. The trail is 11 miles (18km) long and winds it way along the cliffs in a very varied landscape with rain forest, desert and rocky cliffs. The trail is almost never straight but moves up and down, in and out. The view is spectacular and around each corner awaits new wonders.
It was hot and humid to do the hike so we drank a lot of water. Luckily there are plenty of streams and creeks on the trail so we could refill our bottles.
Also there were plenty of guava trees and a few mango trees so we could get some fresh fruit as we walked.
It took us 8 and a half hour to walk in and the reward was amazing. I was very busted and enjoyed just chilling on the beach for the rest of the day.
We had our camp in shade of trees close to the waterfall were we got fresh water and showers when it got to hot to sit in the sun.
And the beach was of course beautiful.
We spend a day on the beach and the hiked back the next day. Here was what we looked like after having walked back to civilization.
A truly amazing trip.
My parents asked me for a video of our place. I made the video Friday – it s in Danish so if you don t understand you have to follow the plan below for explanations.
Here is the ground plan of the place.
The stairs you can see outside of the house are the once shown below here. They led to the Belohorska street were the trams goes. So even though we live at the ground level there are still three stories of stairs to climb to get home
A 1 minute clip from the escalator at Hradcanska Metro station in Prague.
When you are standing on the escalator for a short while you experience the optical illusion that you are going straight and the people are leaning in weird ways.
The red drink is Griotka which is a sour cherry liquor that tasts pretty good – like the Danish cherry sauce for rissengrød, just with alcohol. The cream coloured Vajecny konak is some kind of eggnog.
Enjoy you weekend 
I’m about to move out of Copenhagen so the last couple of days I’ve been packing. It’s tiring and quite boring but today I came across a CD with forgotten video clips from Michigan.
I can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I left. Still that year in Ann Arbor was the time of my life and the clips I found here sure brings back good memories of some of the great people I hung out with.
When my parents came to visit we made a Danish BBQ at the roof of my house. I had to make the people there try to say the name of the dessert.

A couple of weeks ago Alberto and Luiz visited me in Copenhagen for a couple of days. It turned out to be a beer infused trip to some of the wonderful sights in the city of Copenhagen.
We walked, biked and sailed around Copenhagen for three days. I shot some video along the way and cut it into this 12 minute video.
See the video at Blip.TV or Google Video.
The places visited in the video are (inspired by Anetq):
