    While there we also say all the other ancestors on my Mum's side of the family back to Aiden and Lucas' Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmother and Grandfather.

    One day in Denmark we went to Tivoli to see the christmas show.

    Lucas got a ride pass so that he could jump on whatever ride he wanted, and Aiden was happy cheering.

    We also saw the 'real' santa (Julemanden) and went past the Lego store.

    This year we took the boys skiing for the first time. They had been practicing their roller blades at home to get used to the motion, so it was a bit easier to get them started on the snow. It was the first time for the boys to see real snow.

    We went with another family and stayed at Thredbo.

    It also happened to be on my fiftieth.

    In mid July the instructors of the Sydney dojo planned to visit the Brisbane dojo. They encouraged me to come along as I will be up for the next big grading soon and it would be a great introduction to some of the best instructors and karateka's in the country.


    I also found the official lineage of our style listed on one of the boards.

    Aswan Dam

    14. November 2004 10:37 by Rene Pallesen | 0 Comments

    aswan dam




    The High Dam was built in the 1970s. It was higher and wider than the old Aswan Dam.



    At its highest point, the High Dam was 111m high, 3.8km long and 980m wide at the base. It was built with 3 times as many stones that was used to build Cheops' Pyramid.



    The High Dam is a high-security military area so no video cameras were allowed. Should the High Dam be destroyed, than most of Egypt will be under water and it would be a disaster for the country.



    Lake Nasser is a man-made lake to the south, created as a result of the building of the High Dam. Because of this lake, some great monuments, villages and many of the Nubian tribes had to be moved or they would have been submerged under water. I think much history has been lost to these waters.



    This temple had to moved onto higher ground after the High Dam was built.

    the alabaster factory




    This alabaster factory was one of Adam's commission-based stops.
    Alabaster is a cheaper type of marble - the corridors of the Mohammed Ali Mosque was made of this marble, as was the small sphinx statue in Memphis. It was also used for King TutAnkhAmun's canopic jars

    Earlier in the year at Easter time we went camping up at Barrington Tops 5 hours drive north of Sydney.

    It is a very tall mountain range with some excellent walks, rivers etc.

    Fairly recently we started the boys on Karate.

    We thought it would be a good activity for them to build strength, motor skills and discipline.

    Especially Aiden is really enjoying it and putting in the hard work at home practicing. He has become stronger throughout the classes which is great. Before we started he had almost no core strength and now he is able to do sit-ups and pushups.

    This weekend both Aiden and Lucas were pulled up for their first proper graduation from the white belts to the red belts and they both passed.

    Tontonburi is know as the chefs/kitchen area. Here you can buy everything needed for a japanese restaurant.

    It is also full of actual restaurants and other oddities such as more exotic places. It has what is known as Osaka's best Ramen restaurant (the one with the long counter in the photos below) - and Yes, the Ramen was very good.

    Here it is also possible to eat specialties such as the Puffa fish.








    It was also one of the few places where I saw real Samurai swords for sale.

    In Osaka we went to the Toei Film Studio.

    This is an area where they have filmed lots of traditional Japanese movies and where they have all the old houses and also some theaters.

    It is also used as a bit of an entertainment and cultural area to teach the Japanese about their culture. Surprisingly we seemed to be the only foreign tourists there and it was definitely worth the visit even though we didn't understand a word of what they were saying.
