Santa is on his way… he’s presently in Tajikistan, you can track him via NORAD.

Recent video of Santa in China. Just make sure you’re in bed before he comes.

I’m taking a holiday rest, so see you in the New Year.

Sorry about the lack of posting, over the last two weeks I’ve been suffering from an illness, which is why I was absent for one.

Best wishes for the Christmas holiday, wishing you all a successful and happy New Year.

Finally, a quick Christmas question… what has the image got to do with Christmas? Click on the image to find out.

Old Dhaka

Originally uploaded by Mike Cameron

Just like this photo by Mike. A young boy became my unofficial tour guide around Old Dhaka on the last day. With the help of Peter, our interpreter, I asked him whether he went to school, he did, then Peter told him I was a teacher, shocked, the boy said he was on holiday!

Here are the statistics I promised from our holiday postcard display.

Our sample

• Travelled to 19 different countries, with most people holidaying in the United Kingdom, Wales was very popular.
• We travelled to 3 different continents, North America, Africa and Europe. Europe being the most popular.
• The total number of miles we travelled was 45,220, this could take us 5 times around the equator.
• The furthest distance travelled was by a member of staff was Miss Lancashire, to Hawaii.
• The furthest distance travelled by a student was Stringy, to Mauritius.
• The shortest distance travelled was by the staff of the office, who travelled 11.3 metres to my pigeonhole.
• The average distance travelled was 1739 miles.
• Mr Hayden wins the award for outstanding contribution, for travelling to Albania and then doing battle with officials to post it.

Thanks to all, I’m now worrying about our carbon footprint…

For both myself and Stringy, our blogs have both appeared in the appendix of a piece of research by Phil Wood on advances in e-learning in Geography, part of a new Geographical Association online publication. Thanks to Alan for the hat-tip.
