So you also know a little about danish geographic NICE!
I also like the LEGO, but it's many years ago I used it
If i lived closer to their factory I might have a job there. They search employees almost all the time and it should be a great place to work and earn money as well. Their factory has also been on the Discovery programme about one year ago. I'm not sure, but think the programme is called Megafactories

I know a little about the company as I used to work for LEGO at one of their stores here in the states. I did watch that tv program you are mentioning. I enjoyed watching it.

What about the Legoland in the US? is it good? Here in Denmark it is more for the small children. Some new and wilder things has been added over the last years, but it is still much for the small persons Cool that you worked for LEGO

I have been to both of the LEGOLands in the US. Both are nice parks! It's mostly for the children, but anyone can enjoy the miniland section with all the models.

I took the IS to the mountains over the weekend and snapped a few photos.











The photos on the snow..It was my first time on the Blue Ridge pkwy and it was sketchy. The wind was blowing pretty hard and there weren't many guard rails.
