So, a woman gets into a car...

Yet another car-related post..

Following my recent experience, I've decided to give you a piece of advice: If you are helping a friend move his car-with-a-dead-battery, by sitting behind the steering wheel while he's pushing the car...

 .. do not put the car in gear.. or step on the brake.. it turns out that these actions make it hard to move the car at all.

What would MacDaner do? s01e02

Here's the plot to another episode** of the action-adventure television series "MacDaner".

Anders MacDaner is an average* Dane, living  his average* Danish life in an average* Danish city.

~~~~~*~~~~~ 

A foreigner is obviously lost in an average Danish city, looking at a map. MacDaner sees him and heads straight to him with a smile and readiness to help. The foreigner says: "I want to get to Vestre Ringgade".

What would MacDaner do?

Say: "Where?!" with the most confused expression a human face can get. Look at what the tourist's finger is showing on the map, then smile and say the exact same way the foreigner (thought) he pronounced it: "Aaaah, you mean Vestre Ringgade".

Let's help each other

Here and here you can read, and watch about an interesting initiative. "Death row" cats are given to prisoners.
Both sides need each other, both sides need to behave.
Am I the only one who finds this a brilliant idea?

Concentration

My ability to focus on the one thing I'm doing at a given moment is so low that I started to think I might be suffering attention disorder. I'm losing interest in whatever I'm doing up to 5 seconds after initiating an activity.. So, I decided to search for answers on the internet.. it should know.

I wrote "attention disorder" and pressed "enter",.. results loaded,.. I opened an article.. and lost interest in reading it before it appeared..

Well, since I couldn't read it, I'm not yet sure if there is a problem.. But I'm sure I'm just fine!

Feel like helping today?

There's this guy, Dominik, who wrote me a message a few days ago. He asked me if I would share a link to his blog..
Who is Dominik?.. He's an exchange student, just like me, but in Thailand. One would think: cool, exotic, enviable place to be... Well, it turns out that reality there is not colored in pink now. So, instead of engaging in the expected Erasmus-student life, Dominik chose to help people. If you would also like to help, visit his blog (Thailand flood fundraising ) and see how.
