"And you can bike to work in the rain wearing your suit" This picture is for the sceptical ones. It is heaven to work in Copenhagen, at least according to the website "Copenhagen capacity". OF COURSE, but hey, who would be dumb enough to mention the gang...
"Back to our top story" Man, that reminds me of work. I must say I am surprised by the media coverage of the US Presidential race. I shouldn't be though. When there's isn't anything more interesting to say about the issues then its back to the mini-scandals....
Ridiculous! Its the only way to describe the Olympic torch relay in Paris this afternoon. We went with my ever so authority-allergic father to watch the torch go by a bridge in the neighborhood. For over an hour the nervous and enormous police presence...
I have been hearing about the meltdown of the Icelandic economy for a while now but everytime I ask someone who lives in Iceland or is Icelandic it never seems to worry them somehow. When a fellow journalist at my job asked me about contacts in Iceland...
So why is Hillary Rodham Clinton so controversial? Its enough to google the former first lady /perhaps the next president of the U.S. to see that she has a large group of "anti-fans" and people who want to harm her image. She seems to pose a threat to...
So what has happened since my last blog? Absolutely nothing! As with so many other dillusional ideas the president has, closing France 24 was announced and then as noone could explain why or how it would be done, it has now been put on hold. This president...
I will admit its a bit late to be wondering what happened to Britain's once omnipresent Prime Minister. Still its always interesting to learn something new. And clearly I didnt know much about his early and unplanned retirement. Paul Mitchell´s "The Blair...
Since I've had a little more time at home these last few days I have become a major internet buyer - buying books, DVDs, vacuum cleaners and what have you without even getting outside of my bed. Its so easy - even a little bit too easy. In my search of...
Only four days to go... and by the way.. How annoying is Larry King on CNN?? Very. I dont even understand how people can watch anything on TV in America, with commercial breaks every 3-4 minutes. And I am not exagerating - I've timed it on the show -...
I keep seeing things on CNN that somehow I find offending. The latest is an advert often aired on the clearessence products "especially formulated for people of colour". Ok perhaps I get lost sometimes in all the political correctness of it all but an...
Oh yes.. Had such a wonderful weekend away from Paris, away from all the sounds and the stress. Wish I could always have 3 day weekends.. I think everyone should. Then there would be more work for everyone and people would enjoy their job more - being...
my collegue Alexandra pointed out to me a very interesting article yesterday- its seems that all the drugs we are taking, and then peeing out are coming back to hunt us. See more on cnn.com an extract: (AP) -- A vast array of pharmaceuticals -- including...
After a long day at work - a day a little bit different where you could hear an amazing voice on every corner - a little bit of opera every half hour. A day that could have been exciting and interesting with alll that we could have said about the amazing...
It was two minutes to midnight when I arrived into the control room for my last bulletin last night. The day hadn't been great, technical problems, some members of the team were a bit sleepy and it was a busy news day. But this was my last contribution...
And the award goes to.... Oh yes France 24 is one year old. We celebrated gracefully with champagne, well some were more graceful than others perhaps, We also had music, dancing, lots of laughter and more champagne. I invite you to go and see the most...
I used to hate those. Well, not the babies obviously but I could not understand people that collected baby pictures. Even before they were in any condition to have any themselves.. you know the pictures of those ever so cute baby heads in sunflowers -...
Burma has been our top story for a week now. Burma I say a bit confused because everyone else, all the media and even the United nations call it Myanmar - its the name the military gave the country in english after it seized power in 1989. It changed...
Who said Cat's were independent creatures that do not try to please their owners? They can even imitate us - that is, if they fancy doing it That could be worrying for me I since my cat is completely deaf and sleeps around 23 hours a day... But then again...
It is interesting to see how Ahmadinejad is portrayed just hours before he is to adress students (and the world) at Columbia University in New York this monday. Its enough to google his name to find some humiliating pictures and lots of unjust criticism...
All around Paris this is what you see.. bikes, bikes everywhere! Its the new hype - Paris city is counting on people to take the bikes now instead of the ever so popular metro or bus. Which in itself is good and better for the enviroment. Especially when...
Took some summer vacation away from the blog, something well deserved - But I'm back now, stronger than ever!! Been quite busy hanging out with the most handsome teacher in Paris city.. going to Iceland to hike away in the north near Mývatn (see pictures...
Its not as easy to find good stories for every blog as I thought - but I found one that cought my glaze... it goes to show how incredibly stupid people are... and that some will steal just anything! A Chinese woman has told how robbers snatched a parcel...
Always been interested in american politics, and soon we will be facing another presidential campaign in the US. Read this really interesting article in the Guardian - about how democrat candidates in the last 30 years (or since the Kennedy years) have...
Why not give that to your 3 year old niece for christmas? This would have been a teddy bear some people I know like Eva Kamilla and Arri would have appreciate in their days... Macabre but sweet Are kids too young to know about the realities of grown up...
a warm welcome!? Ahmadinejad has spoken. But only after a rather humiliating introduction by Columbia president Lee Bollinger. It was quite surprising to hear the University scholar make so direct remarks about The Iranian President while "welcoming"...
