Herring in Denmark

Most cured herring uses a two-stepcuring process. Initially, herring is cured with salt to extract water. The second stage involves removing the salt and adding flavorings, typically a vinegar, salt, sugar solution to which ingredients such as peppercornbay leaves and raw onions are added. In recent years, other flavors have also been added, due to foreign influences. However, the tradition is strong in Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, The Netherlands, Iceland and Germany. Onion, sherry,mustard and dill are some of the traditional flavourings



Wind Energy In Denmark

During my trip to Denmark, I was amazed to encounter so many wind farms. 

It’s windy in Denmark, which helps explain why Denmark is so skilled at capturing the power of the wind. With 28 per cent wind power in the electricity system, Denmark is a nation that many others are looking to in order to discover sustainable energy solutions for the future. However, plentiful wind is not necessarily synonymous with a strong wind industry. Denmark's achievement in bringing 28 per cent wind power into the electricity system is built on several key factors, that together have made Denmark the world’s Wind Power Hub.

Transit at Bangkok

During my trip to Copenhagen, I board Thai Airline from KLIA to Bangkok Airport for a connecting flight at 1.20 am. This mean I have to wait for almost two hours before the next trip.

The last time I was in Bangkok was in 2001. What I learn from this trip is the currency exchange. It is cheaper to do it at KL Sentral. I was also suprised to know that Danish Kroner is limited and not always available.
