Budget Copenhagen: How to survive a trip to Denmark

Filed under: , , ,

Scandinavia has the reputation as being the most expensive corner of the world, but the true reality of day to day expenses don't really kick you in the shin until you're on the ground in Copenhagen. Bus fare on many routes costs more than cab fare across some developing countries. A double espresso can set a weary traveler back $6, $7 or even $8 in the most trafficked areas, while fine dining is almost comically expensive.

Budget travel just isn't a well served market in Copenhagen. It's traditionally a place where you go to have the best seafood of your life or stay in the nicest hotel that you've ever conceived, not a destination for wayward backpackers or travelers looking to save a penny.

It's there though, in the thin small cracks between double-lacquered facades and woven into the threads of the ubiquitous Lyle and Scott sweaters. A small seam of budget centric activities weaves through the town of Copenhagen, and exploited correctly, it can even yield a fair amount of fun. Gadling Labs spent a long weekend sifting through the streets of the city and filed this report:

Offshore wind power specialist Vestas has revealed plans to build the largest dedicated offshore wind turbine in the world. The proposed V164 would have a 7.0 MW capacity, twice that of its predecessor, the 3.0 MW V112. The awesome 164 meter (538 ft) diameter rotor would eclipse the size of the current titleholder, the prototype G10X installed by Gamesa in Spain in 2009 which has a diameter of 128 m (420 ft). ..

Virgin's future lands at San Francisco's new T2

Filed under: , , , , , , , , ,

san francisco virgin

It is not often that you casually glance out of the airplane window and see the future racing up beside you, glistening in the California sun like a joyriding space catamaran. This happened in San Francisco yesterday as Gadling took part in Virgin's latest celebration of innovation. Virgin held an event to toast the evolution of flight as well as the opening of Terminal two at San Francisco airport. With plane interiors like neon rimmed London clubs and commercial plans to pierce space with their Galactic platform, Virgin is on an innovatory run that is making them look more and more like the airline industry's version of Apple.

Our boarding passes listed the departing city as San Francisco and our arrival destination as the future. The flight would circle San Francisco and land at the sparkling new Terminal two. The departure gate teemed with excitement. Muffins were distributed, mimosas swished about, and Rocketman played predictably in the background. Buzz Aldrin rolled in sporting a watch on each hand - one no doubt keeping moon time. The Lieutenant Governor of California, who I first mistook to be Bradley Cooper, addressed the crowd with perfect diction, proclaiming California's undying support for Virgin America. We were about to "Fly from the Jet Age to the Space Age."

YourLUME gets a finer education Outdoors

Portland, Oregon, ? YourLUME (yourlume.com), the Portland based online retailer dedicated to supporting outdoor causes, announces partnerships with Nevada Outdoor School (NOS) and Montana Outdoor Science School (MOSS).

These organizations support the new and ever-growing research that shows a direct correlation between exposure to nature and children's improved physical and emotional health. Sometime this means taking a group out on a hike to research ponds, streams or underneath rocks. Other times it's bringing the outdoors in with school programs.

"It's always great to see kids discover more about their surroundings and themselves in the process? said Steve Eshbaugh, Executive Director of Montana Outdoor Science School.

Programs like the ones offered by NOS and MOSS are critical to communities. They offer a place where learning becomes a real life adventure. Classes for the students include academic activities such as geology, orientation, astronomy, and hiking. Students are able to come face-to-face with live animals such as snakes, turtles, salamanders, owls, hawks and many others. And in addition to the academics, it's a time for growth. A time for students to meet personal challenges, learn to work together and develop trust in others.

"I am very excited about the opportunity to showcase Nevada Outdoor School's programming to the diverse group of outdoor enthusiasts who are coming together at yourLUME,? said Andy Hart, Executive Director of the Nevada Outdoor School. "Inspiring people to be outdoors for the betterment of themselves and their communities is at the core of our mission which fits nicely with the aspirations of the great people who have created this new online resource."

YourLUME's non-profit partnership program, shareLUME, currently works with eight non-profit partners. The organizations that have partners with yourLUME share their mission to protect and revitalize the environment as well as educate individuals in reducing their impact on the earth. "We are fortunate to be working with NOS and MOSS, as well as our other non-profit partners. We look forward to supporting the great work they're doing and continue searching for other organizations that share our mission? said Sandy Ragnetti, Marketing and Business Development Director for yourLUME.
