Thailand at this moment




I wanna be there at this moment...

Long live my king,..the king of hearts...

Worlddd....cup!

these days..everywhere..
floating in the air...all the time,
only football football and football..

which is nothing to do with me...
because i couldn't find the fun in watching these games..
...at all.. :D

anyway, one thing i like is when the people from the same country 're gathering together to cheer their teams. Here, it's soo orange everywhere now. and when holland plays, it's so quiet on the street, people stay and watch the match. Cheer and proud of their nations.

Biomass on earth

Biofuel is any fuel that derives from biomass. the production of biofuels to replace oil and natural gas is in active development, focusing on the use of cheap organic matter (usually crops, rape seeds, potatos, agricultural residues and manure from cows)...

Environmental benefits:
Biodiesel reduces emissions of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide on a net lifecycle basis because the carbon in biodiesel emissions is recycled from carbon that was already in the atmosphere, rather than being new carbon from petroleum. The greenhouse effect therefore reduces. Also, biodiesel reduces the emission of particulates. This reduces cancer risks. Moreover, biodiesel is biodegradable and non-toxic, biodiesel is less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as quickly as sugar.

Another reason is to increase farm incomes and strenghen rural economies by using the organic products.

Now, i'm studying this kind of stuffs...find the way to develop this market, and try to find out the good reasons why people should use biofuel instead of petroleum.

เปิด

หากเธอเหนื่อยล้าผิดหวัง
ชีวิตไม่เป็นเหมือนที่ตั้งใจ
ทุกๆสิ่ง และทุกๆอย่าง
นั้น ไม่เป็นเหมือนเคยฝันไว้
หากปล่อยชีวิตที่ผิดหวัง
ให้นั่งอยู่ตรงนั้นตลอดไป
วันที่เธอเฝ้ารอคอยด้วยหัวใจ
นั้นคงจะไม่มาสักที
อยู่ที่เธอนั้นจะกล้าเปิด
เปิดตา และเปิดหู และเปิดใจ
มองโลกด้วยมุมมองด้านใหม่
ไม่ว่าจะร้ายหรือจะดี
หากว่าวันนี้สับสน
วุ่นวายและวกวนไปทุกที่
ลองมองลองเปลี่ยนมุม
จากที่ยืนอยู่ตรงนี้
เปลี่ยนจนเจอที่ที่ถูกใจ
*แค่เพียงเธอนั้นจะกล้าเปิด
เปิดตา และเปิดหู และเปิดใจ
มองโลกด้วยมุมมองด้านใหม่ ไม่ว่าจะร้ายหรือจะดี
หากเธอเหนื่อยล้าผิดหวัง
ชีวิตไม่เป็นเหมือนดังฝันใฝ่
จะมีสุขหรือทุกข์เท่าไหร่
ขึ้นอยู่กับใจก็เท่านี้
จำไว้สุขทุกข์สักแค่ไหน
ขึ้นอยู่กับใจของเรานี้

Sunset at Oia

We arrived Oia around 6 pm. we walked around waiting to see the sun which will be come down around 8.30 pm. There's quite nice here. we enjoyed taking so much pics. ...
Greek kids, they're so cute.

Three sisters!??

me and a greek house

A couple walked by....Congratulation..to them. :) they seem so happy.

Aichin and a greek door. ....feeling like go back to the ancient time.

A dog and a bookstore. ...just like this picture.



Beautiful sunset at Oia..beautiful moment, peaceful......i wish i'm good at painting. See you tomorrow, i know you will rise up everyday!

ohh..we're in the volcanic islands!

Next day, we went to the volcano and hot spring. We took a boat for around 20 minutes..

The explanation of the trip



we enjoyed hot spring, but actually it's cold spring!....soo cold, it's around 29 degree, i don't know why it's not hot at all. there's full of mud underneath, some say it's good for skin but i'm not pretty sure.

On the top of the volcanic, i'm so tired...damn hot in here, i'm burning like a chicken. there's some lava still, the guide said it's around 94 degree that we can touch and we can really feel how powerful is it!


My friends, the boat we took and the scenery. I can still feel the heat from here.


The way to go up, some moment i felt like i'm lost in a desert. ..feeling hot hot hot..

Still ...greece..

We are in the Islands, Santorini still....., here's some more pics.
Greek pottery, in a typical way of sculpture

White church everywhere, greek people are quite religious. Also,they have some radar to know where the churchs is. they usually stop nearby and pray(amen).


a Santorini window

Church (again) and the shadow of another church


A ceramic shop, pictured with its owner whom is so proud of his job. He told me a long story of his shop and the unique ceremic stuffs. Each one has their own charming and never be the same. If you buy one, it will be the only one.



A greek cat, actually before I came here I expected a lot of cats. But there're not so much as I thought (but it's good for me anyway).

We love our king!

Our King Bhumibol 's 60th year anniversary on the throne's today, as the world's longest-reigning monarch. In Thailand, we have a big celebration and a long vacation June 9-13.

I don't know much what happen and how they're celebrated there..
Just to say, I love my King ..as well!


..Long live the King..

Next stop...Fira.

Fira is like the centre of this Islands. It's like a town with lots of shops and very good view on the top of the hill. Actually, our plan was to go to the white beach first, but the boat to go there didn't work on that day. So we're heading to Fira instead.
The scenery is so wonderful! White houses with blue windows and blue doors are very typical. We can see how beautiful of the Aegean sea and how marvellous that the natural has built.

Aegean sea in one normal day.

Along the way up hill in Fira, blue sea and clear sky..

At a souvenir shop


Hello! Santorini...

greek story season II,...somewhere beyond the sea.

let's continue the trip in greek (before i forgot)..hihi~,

finally we got in to the ferry to Santorini...Whooo.o.oo.. First day, we stayed at perissa beach, swim swim swim... and then sleep and swim again, the sand here is quite black (that's why it's called "black beach", also there're some little fish swim around together with us. .......and then we eat and sleep again and walk along the beach. ....quite nice huhu..

Our first dinner is also on the beach. we had greek salad, mousaka, sword fish, beef and lamb steak. After that, we got to a bar nearby and had some typical dessert which is sooo sweet and i forgot the name.
such a pretty sand, i saw it while walking to the red beach.
This is "the red beach". it's so red, isn't it.

us,..with the towel and sunblock always in our hand. ready to jump into the sea.

Waiting for the bus on the way back to our room.

See you this afternoon. and have a nice day!

finally ...i'm gonna workkk!

These days i'm quite busy with preparing and reading a lot of stuffs. Next week i'll start my internship with a company, KNN millieu, in groningen. I'm quite excited, don't know how it gonna be, working with all dutch people in a real company here.

My topic is about renewable energy market development focusing in biomass. finally, i found out that i really love to work in the environmental things although now i'm in the business field. i have tried to corporate both of these things together. and hmm,...this weekend i have to study a lot of things...

Nafplio

We had one more day on the mainland. So we planned to go to Nafplio, the old town along the seaside, 2 hours from Athens. ..quite nice, the style of houses, bright color with the blue sky contrasting with the red flower(I know only thai name "feung-fha"). Feeling so fresh...taking a lot of deep breath, feel the seawind passing through our body.
The greek-gang, they're cycling to see who is the fastest. The small greek girl in the red shirt always slower, but she never gives up.
We walked around for a while and ended up in a cafe in a square. Sitting and seeing greek and non-greek walking along the lovely street.

My lunch again, Gyros chicken.

The fisherman, he got some fish for his dinner. we met him at the end of the beach, feeling so peaceful in here.

The fortress close to Nafplio harbour, called Bourdzi. Part of the fortress were later employed as a prison.

Run forest ...Run

Actually, our plan is to go to Santorini on the second night. but...but, the boat don't really like us. ...we got to the pireaus(the port) quite late, we bought the tickets and had around 10 minutes to run to the gate. we run really.. like run for life to catch the boat, after we ran for 5 minutes we realized that the gate is damn far away, we catched a cab in the port....trying to make it.

...When we arrived it's 10.02 pm. really, exactly 2 minutes late and the boat just gone. we said goodbye to the boat and looked at each others, ...why..why whyy :( ..normally greek are not so punctual like this..but ........

well, no doubt, that night we stucked in the pireaus. we had to spend one more night around Athens. ...we found a small hotel near the pireaus, 3 people for 50 euro(bargaining from 60), the room is quite nice making us feel a little better after a nightmare. Trying to be optimistic that at least we can have a good shower and good bed instead of sleeping on the boat....
(even actually I prefer boat....) ..I felt asleep almost suddenly, GoOdNiGhT!

Speaking Greek!

We designed to learn a bit important greek words before we go there coz we though that they don't speak english so much. ... but actually greek people can speak very good english. and it's good for us.

well, ...anyway, knowing some greek is also good for us too...let's learn a bit...
- hello, bye : yasu/yasas
- good morning : kalimera (καλημέρα)
- goodnight : kalinixta (καλησπέρα)
- thank you: s-efxaristo (σ' ευχαριστώ)
- how much does it cost?: poso kostizi

....okay!...this is enough for me to remember. I think the rest is too much..we are human, we will can understand each others in some ways for sure :D

Acropolis, continue...


From a little hill near the entrance, we can see partly of the great Acropolis.


Inside the Acropolis museum


The Propylea, the monument gateway of Acropolis, crowed with lot of tourists.

Reaching Greece

hihi~, haven't updated blog for a long time :D ...Last week I've been to Greece, visiting Acropolis, feeling the atmosphere of Myth, the origin of Olympics and the volcanic islands, Santorini, the land of white and blue.


Around 35 degree celcius in Athens, I arrived this city wearing 2 T shirts, 2 pair of socks with a rather thick jacket, have to take off almost everything. Soooo hot...phuuuew.. First, we had to find an accommodation. Our lives were depending on a little book, lonely planet. We got to the centre by Metro, quite fast and convenient. Walking for a while to reach a youth hostel. We leaved our luggages and got ready to go out! again. This night we stayed near the centre of Athens. The city has a lot of hills, we always walk up and down and up and down again. There're many orange trees along the street everywhere. The shops open till very late and we can find the street food everywhere. Although, there're lot of traffic but I like this kind lifestyle, making me feel like home, like when I was in Thailand. ... First night we walked around shopping area, Syntagma and Plaka which is full of souvenir shops and restaurants.

Our first meals here, ofcourse gyros and souvaki pita. This food are selling everywhere, making from pork or chicken or lamb inside and eat with pita bread and vegetable. They're quite nice. We walk around. The street's quite crowded, maybe it's saturday night. Greek people really like to enjoy nightlife. There's so much people outside at night. After walking for a while, we're hungry again, we finished the first night in a creperia. My crepe with ham cheese and mushroom is quite delicious. And then we catch the cab back to our hostel. The taxi here is not so expensive comparing to the other places in Europe, however for me, it's still expensive anyway.

Next day, we went to monasteraki market, it's a flea market open only on sunday morning. Looking around for a while. After that we went to the Acropolis, the most important creation of the ancient Greek architecture and the splendid temples.

The Parthenon, the symbol of perfection of the golden age of Greek. This temple was dedicated to the goddess Athena, the Pathoness of Athens. We walked around, seeing the Propylaea, the monumental gate, the temple of wingless victory (Nike). Actually, I don't know much about the history of greek, stuffs like this but when I have seen the great construction made by people since many thousands years ago in the ancient time, I can feel how great of the human civilisation and how much endeavour of them. I also wonder ..how's our earth's gonna be in the next thousand year in the future! how life is it...
