Arabian Canal

A wonderful place to spend your holiday, see around the Arabian Canal, this canal will be the world's longest artificial canal, with 75 km long. The dig of the Canal will start near the Dubai Marina area smooth inland around the massive area for planned Jebel Ali International Airport and wind its way to enter the sea once again at the outer end of Palm Jebel Ali. Dubai Waterfront forms the first phase of the larger Arabian Canal effort.The Arabian Canal will give rise to some truthfully astonishing developments even by Dubai property standards. The delta forms the base from which Dubai Waterfront will extend several kilometres out into the sea, far away from Palm Jebel Ali. The Palm Jebel Ali will form about a fifth of the enormous reclaimed component of the project. The Dubai Waterfront took two years to plan and is bigger than Manhattan and Beirut in size. The first phase of the project will concentrate on building Madinat Al Arab, a downtown type metropolis.

Big Pineapples

In the beginner of this year, I had the pleasure of being inside of a pineapple. This 17m huge fruit is located at Summerhill farm Bathurst, near Grahamstown. Eastern Cape. South Africa. I’ve enjoyed the experience, and I surprised my self when this week I saw on the TV that in Australia there’s also one.

It seams that this Big Australian Pineapple is a famous tourist attraction and is situated near Nambour, Queensland. And is 16m high, and was build originally in 1971.
Well, maybe next year on my next holidays I will visit this twin brother.

River trip....

Here’s a view that we don’t see every day. A view from the river, and in this case it’s the Douro River at north of Portugal. On board off a small boat I crossed under 5 of the 6 bridges, Arrábida bridge that was build in 1963 by Edgar Cardoso and was considered at the time the largest concrete span of any bridge in the world. D. Luiz I Bridge made by Teófilo Seyrig in 1886 with an arch bridge that spans Douro River between cities of OPorto and Vila Nova de Gaia. Then comes Infante D. Henrique Bridge build in 2003 by Adão da Fonseca. At the horizon I see D. Maria Pia Bridge raised 1877 under Gustavo Eiffel instructions, and then finishing the river trip under the S. João Bridge borne once again by the hands of Edgar Cardoso in 1991.

OpenColaType, Open source Cola

OpenCola is a kind of product of cola unique because the information for making can be used without restraint and is available and modifiable. Any person can make the drink, and any person can change and get better on the recipe as long as they, too, license their instructions under the GNU General Public License.
Even though this was originally projected in Canada in 2001 as a promotional tool to explain free software/open source software, the drink took on a life of its own and 150.000 units were sold and became better known for the drink than the software that was proposed to promote.
