Getting around

This is more a travelling and planing blog so if you are looking for my daily life, you’ll have to look somewhere else :)

Epcot

Today I spent a lot of time and money at one of Disney’s theme parks Epcot. I must say, I’m a bit disappointed. The park was ok, but i had expected more for $100.

Spher

The Spher is actually quite interesting. It’s called a geodesic sphere and is made out of triangles. It’s originally “invented” for buildings by Fuller. You probably seen some at radar stations or so. The reason why this interests me is that this building inspired to a Nobel prize in chemistry. Carbon-60 is a spherical molecule built pn the same principle. Me being a former chemists, this interests me!

Anyway, Epcot is divided into two parts, one more scientific, the other about some different countries all over the world. I started off at the science part. The best ones where Mission: SPACE and “Honey, I Shrunk The Audience” Mission Space is a matter of fact a centrifuge and even got slightly motion sick.

The pic above is from one of the countries represented in the park. I will let you guess what country for now. The answer you will find at the bottom. 

alphorn

I juts had to visit the German Oktober fest. It was strange, b ut there actually was a German music group playing traditional instruments, like the alp horn… 

All the time there was synchronized music playing, Christmas Music like White Christmas, Jingle Bells etc. It felt very strange in the Orlando heat and sun. The I ran into the first Swedish thing

It made out a small piece of a huge Disney Christmas Tree.

Tomorrow I’m off for the east coast to watch the launch af Atlantis. Unfortunately my hotel made a mistake with my tickets so I can’t get in to Kennedy Space Center. I will have to watch the launch from the outside. But it’s ok, a bit cheaper. On Tuesday I will se all of the center instead.

Oh yes,  the answer, it’s Norway. Easy to see on the blond girl!? Below is a pic showing Norway and China.
