July 26, 2011 by Yein Jee

The 2011 Global Peace Index has been released recently. Check out a video-summary of the findings and also a screenshot of the 10 highest ranked countries…

You can visit GPI’s official site for more details and results. In general the better ranked countries are safer to live in, but the terror attack in Norway (ranked #9) shows just how unpredictable things could be.

Norwegian completes Great Wall of China walk

December 20, 2010 by Yein Jee

42-year-old Norwegian Robert Loken has became (self proclaimed) the first person in the world to have walked the Ming Dynasty Great Wall from end to end…

Robert Loken Great Wall of China walk

Loken sold his house and quit work to follow his 21 year old dream of walking the Great Wall of China. 601 days after setting off from Jiayuguan in the Gobi desert, he arrived at the Hushan Great Wall on the North-Korean border on December 1, thus accomplished his epic mission. Quite a feat. Congrats.

World’s largest sushi mosaic

October 22, 2010 by Yein Jee

The Norwegian Seafood Export Council set a new world record last week at China’s Shanghai Expo in celebration of the arrival of Norwegian Salmon No. 10,000,000 to China (and perhaps a bit of peace making for the Nobel prize).

World largest sushi mosaic in Shanghai, China

The record-setting sushi mosaic featured 8,374 pieces of sushi made from different types of Norwegian seafood, primarily salmon, but also cod, mackerel and prawns. The mosaic covered 20.13 square metres, used 120 kilos of rice and 65 kilos of Norwegian Salmon, and took 6 hours and 15 minutes to complete.

Black Hornet – world’s smallest spy-copter

May 18, 2009 by Yein Jee

Black Hornet is a video-camera equipped helicopter not more than 100mm long, weighing less than 20g, and can be carried in your pocket and launched within seconds to give immediate situational awareness…

Developed by Norway based Prox Dynamics, the spy-copter aims to become the world’s smallest and most capable Unmanned Aircraft System for close range surveillance and inspection.

And if the Black Hornet fails to live up to its expectation, the company can choose to reinvent the copter into an expensive toy instead… bet that it’s going to become a global hit.
