Jorg Verhoeven bij Holland Sport

fff een tip voor de Nederlandse klimmers. Jorg Verhoeven meldt op zijn website dat hij a.s. maandag bij Holland Sport te zien zijn. Jorg zelf heeft het over 'hoe een arme klimmer in de zeik wordt genomen', maar dat lijkt me sterk. Gewoon kijken dus, maandagavond 17 november, 20.30 uur bij VPRO op Ned 3.

Art Bouldering Wall Badami

Beautifull rock structure to climb/boulder on. Comes from a fine website with stories about climbing/bouldering in the following countries:

Montenegro 2008
Russia 2007
India 2006 / 2007
Sahara 2005 / 2006
Kirgisien / Karavshin 2003
Marmolata 1999

It's fun to read and makes you want to go to these places !!

Trick Or Treat

Although we do not celebrate trick or treat in the same way as in the US or UK, in the Netherlands we also walk down the streets asking for sweets. Supposedly there is no connection between the trick-or-treat and here it is a celebration of Sint(= saint) Maarten, in origin a religious tradition.

For many (older kids) in the Netherlands it is just a reason to gather a year-load of sweets (or fruit for the more nature minded amongst us). For the little ones it's an adventure to walk in the evening with their lanterns, bring some light in the dark months and sing funny songs. Tonight I will be opening the door many times, assuming they dare ring our doorbell...

Anti Boredom Commercial

I found this in the archives of my digital storage. Don't be as crude as is displayed here, but otherwise the effect will be a few smiles that day.
