No more smoking!     posted on 14th of july, 2008

In most countries you can't smoke in bars en restaurants anymore. But for the Netherlands this rule is new since July 1st.

Friends of mine told me they already smoked allot less then before that rule.

For most people this new rule was a good excuse to (try to) stop smoking. Over 600.000 Dutch people already stopped smoking in the Netherlands. Let's hope they all can push trough and don't start smoking again.

I'm not a smoker and i'm really happy they set this new rule here.

Don't you just hate it when you come home from a bar and all your cloths smell like smoke?

yep I know the big title was just a joke suggesting that just tobacco was illegal, others stuff were allowed... :) But, yes, forbidden smoke raise some unexpected problems...sometimes funny, sometimes serious.... well, times changes... :) - posted by Sophiesourit on July 17, 2008
In The Netherlands the don't want to forbid smoking in a coffee shop. They are afraid that people will smoke on the streets then. Which will bring drugs to the streets which is illegal (and a bigger problem). - posted by Motadacruz on July 16, 2008
...Really, i've read on the web somewhere that smoking "Tobacco" won't be allowed in the coffe shop :) Anyway that is the rule already in Paris, and it seems that the frequentation of restaurant and disco has decrease a lot...Oh, and suddently it appears that the smoke was hidding a lot the smell of the suor in the disco . Endeed, disco are facing a kind of new and unexpected problem : smell of hundred people dancing and drinking...(note: it seems that smell doesn't represent a treat for your health, just your confort) The good point is the raise of terrasse in Paris, and the fact that some terrasse get gas to warm people drinking outside in the wintertime...what was quiet cool that winter and what disturb a lot the neighboorough, specially at night.(Well, pills to sleep are still allowed) Of course, it seems that a lot of people have stop smoking, or are smoking pure tobacco which are less expensive, but apparently a bit more agressiv for the health. Far away, indeed, is the time ... More) - posted by Sophiesourit on July 16, 2008

Music and running     posted on 21st of july, 2008

I love to keep myself in shape and try to keep fit. But going to the gym everytime is just too boring for me. Especially the gym in our town is always crowded with cranky people and you always have to wait untill you can excercise on a gym devices.

I rather go outside and do something healty there.

Normally I don't like it so much to just run. Most of the times it's boring. But Nike has changed this all for me! Since a couple of months I've been introduced to NikePlus. This is just amazing for me! It's a chip you put in your running shoe and a reciever you click into you iPod. The iPod will store all the information about your run. The miles you run, the speed, the calories you're burning and more! You can play your favorite music and also set up a 'power song' to pump ...

Yes it's great. My farther also doesn't have a Nike+ shoe. He just made a small cut in the inside of the shoe (underneath the laces) and inserted the chip there. - posted by Motadacruz on July 22, 2008
I also have the nikePlus and Ipod. I didn't want to buy new Nikeshoes, so I bought another thing (i don't know the name anymore) in which you put the chip. After that you can bind it on your bootlace and then it works the same as the chip in the shoes. Very good invention - posted by Cvandijk on July 22, 2008
Hello Astargirl. It's really cool and I really suggest it. It's an invention of Nike and Apple, but the also have a sollution for people who don't own an iPod. There is a Nike+ Sportsband you can buy which can recieve all the data and that you can connect to the internet. You will find it on www.nikeplus.com (Go there to 'Gear & Music' > 'Gear'). - posted by Motadacruz on July 22, 2008
