Eco Turbine Island City

turbine-cityCould a combination between man made islands and wind turbines be the next tourist destination in Norway. Turbinism tourism could be the next “hot” thing in eco friendly travel is a Turbine City is ever built. Developed by On Office the project would house a posh hotel, swanky spa and culturally-stimulating museum right inside the base of a towering wind turbine.

According to the designers Turbine City is a way to “spin” turbines in a new light for people who might think of them as unappealing eyesores. Plus, it makes a lot of sense to have the structures perform double duty as both energy harvesting devices and a place for people to find shelter and enjoyment. To be located in Stavanger, Norway Turbine City would also be self-sustaining in terms of power, needing just 1MW (from 8MW turbines) to run. Since Norway is somewhat (in)famous for its production of oil, Turbine City could also help gain the country some fans in the clean energy arenas.

Home and happy

The 12 hour and 30 minute flight to Singapore from Copenhagen wasn't too bad. Our main cargo was 18 race horses and 3 grooms to look after them so the upper deck did get a little crowded and we had all the smells of the farmyard gently wafting upwards from the main deck Lovely horses though.I am now back in Singapore and extremely happy to be back with Ita. We have decided to have another go at I

There are no fuel stations and eventually we ran out of diesel....iin Baragoi ca. 1 12 hrs from Maralal. We met Richard Loowa aka Big Fish who was a priest and apparently a nice guy.

Hola from India

Feb 5 2010Day 1 4 hours before landing in Delhi Its been over twenty hours since I left Portland but it feels like I just got on the plane. Untamable predeparture anticipation resulted in the least amount of sleep Irsquove had in probably a decade and the resulting dreamlike state Irsquove been in since has left me feeling totally incapable of processing whatrsquos happening. I do kno

Cruisin’ Town

Today we all decided to do our own things. Matt mainly lazed about the hostel while the rest of us randomly wandered around town. Justin Morris and I found our way to a black sand beach that entertained us for an hour before we found out the sand was just too fine. It stuck to everything and didn't come off very well. I headed back to the hostel while they went to a local diner for food. Later i

Seaside Bound

Being the first of February I realized we have been gone for two months now. Recalling our trip so far we have had an amazing adventure. Today we go on travelling from San Jose to Puerto Viejo. We managed to miss our ten o'clock bus because it was full so our morning consisted of sitting at the bus terminal until 12. When we got on the bus to start the four and a half hour ride Morris realized

San Jose

Pretty entertaining wake up this morning. We were headed for San Jose on the 630am bus so I had set my alarm for 545am to get up and run up the road to the bus. I woke up to the alarm but the other guys didn't. As I was groggily finding my bearings Matt's alarm went off. Now there are only four of us in the room in each corner. Justin and Morris have no alarm mine is in my hands And that lea

Wednesday night and Thursday Grilled lobster dinner on the beach Wednesday night at One Love was incredible. There were about 30 of us for dinner and were seated at tables with flickering LED candles. Tiki torches lit up the beach all the way down to the West end of White Bay. Our food was delicious and dessert well words just can't describe the key lime pie and Dolce de Leche cheesecake.
