They were one of the first in the world to bake, what is now the ancestor of the modern cake. Here is an interesting recipe inspired by archaeological finds in Denmark: Viking Cake

Translate:

Wally waddled to the Waddle, meanwhile, Roger was being raised by the Rookery. Carol convened with her Creche, to register new runts to roll with their Raft.

Any clues as to what this is all about??

................. PENGUINS!!

These are all types of Penguin groups!
A group of Penguins on land is a Waddle, a nesting group is a Rookery, a group of babies is a Creche, and a group in the water is a Raft.



Stay tunned for more next week...

3 WEEKS UNTIL I LEAVE FOR SOUTH KOREA!! [/COLOR]

It is almost time!! I am getting excited!!

Once I have landed, I will try to post once a week, and provide you with pictures and videos.

I am setting a countdown and soon I think I will post a segment on impressions/expectations of Korea before I arrive. I hope to do other similar pieces when I am there, to contrast.

I will leave you with some Korea trivia...ttys!

• Population: 48.61 million (2008)
• President: Lee Myung-bak since 2008
• It is also known as ‘Hermit Kingdom’ and ‘Land of the Morning Calm’.
• Its largest and capital city is Seoul, with over 10 million (8th largest city).
• The eldest in the house is considered the most wise, and therefore makes most of the important decisions.
• When you enter a South Korean home, the first thing you do is remove your shoes.
• Kimchi, a pickled cabbage side dish, is eaten with almost every meal.
• When the first night of the new year comes everybody hides their shoes. This is because there is a belief that a ghost will come down and try on everyone’s shoes. If the ghost finds a pair it likes it will take it. It is thought that the owner of the shoes will then have bad luck for the whole year.
