cant sit at home waiting for the roof to fall in.

Are you sure about that?

ICELAND'S DOOMED...

Actually Iceland will probably be fine if Katla blows it's top. The southern coast is only sparsely populated.

There are good reasons why the southern coast is sparsely populated.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

Now would be a good time to revive the zeppelin business. :shifty:

Returned to the office today after a brief vacational respite. I asked about how the colleagues who had come to Vienna for a meeting had returned last week.

Russian country head: took the train to Warsaw, rented a car to Riga, rented another car from Riga to Moscow. ( :eek: )
English finance VPs: car to Calais, shuttle service across the Channel.
Israeli colleagues: train to Bucharest, then plane.
Colleague from Egypt (whose visum ran out on friday): no idea, probably train/plane.

Etc.

I wonder if I can convince my company that a two-month roadtrip from Singapore to Germany is business travel so they pay for it...?  ;)

2300 km Singapore to Thailand-Burma border
Burma is not in Google Maps
11480 km Burma border-Germany
:hmm:

I've never been to Asia or Europe but I think I would rather kayak from Singapore to Germany than drive.

The way you do this is through China and then Siberia and Russia.  Aside from Cambodia the entire trip can be done by rail

Actually I would absolutely love to travel across Asia by land.

Atleast a Burmanese Visa isn't too expensive. Try going thru Bhutan.

The eruption is pretty much unchanged from yesterday. Maybe slightly less active but not by much.

Uhm, there seems to be something inside that plume of ash. Are you sure you are just dealing with a volcano here?... :unsure:
