The post, Kon-Tiki in Tydal
( http://bentehaarstad.wordpress.com/2012/08/31/kon-tiki-in-tydal/ ),
by Bente Haarstad Photography gives me a lot of good memories.
In many cold nights, while I was struggling with the books from those ancient philosophers; reading the books of Mr. Heyerdahl always triggered the sense of courage, determination and curiosity.

Such a very interesting post, NgTom…I think next time I go to the library, I will find and read it. Books such as this can impart to us many strengths, yes?
yes…
and we will talk about it someday later…
Great post, I read Kon Tiki in High School, what an adventure..:-))
I envy you could read it in an early age…
Thanks…

俺一看就头痛~~~ 😀
我也是:D
a bit like Tennyson’s Ulysses –
“….made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”
Appreciate your comment…
Thank you…
Hi Tom, thanks for putting so many likes in my wordpress, and view my early ghost story which the foreigner unlikely to understand, I will zoom in this area in this area, cheers – remember AddGrainOnEarth
I should also thank for all your LIKE, Sydney…
I have to find more time to read your lovely blog…
Have a nice day…
I remember reading the book Kon-Tiki in about the year 1960. Coincidentally, I see that the second book on the shelf in your photograph is by Susan Sontag; in college I took a humanities course for which she was the teacher.
I appreciate very much for telling me…
I enjoy reading both writers, though the subject is so different.
Imagine if I could take a course from her,
or sail on a Kon-Tiki with him…
A long time ago I remember being taken by my school to a special showing of the documentary film The Kon-Tiki Expedition. When I got home I made my very own Kon-Tiki from balsa wood, string and my handkerchief for the sale….and it worked on our local lake. It left along standing memory that I have still to this day. It may be along time ago now but still a modern day real life adventure.
It must be a happy sail with lots of fine memories…
I don’t have a chance to make one for myself…
Thank you for telling me such a good memory.
I appreciate it with my heart.
What a powerful, vivid, fascinating post. Very well done. Thank you.
Thank you…
If you have an interest in the Kontiki expedition, you’ll be advised that there is a Kontiki museum in Oslo! You may visit digtally here:

Thank you so much for the Link…
So interested to read it, enjoy it very much…
Wasn’t familiar with him. Just looked up and read a little. How interesting he was an ethnographic enthusiast which must have made for very interesting writing, to delve into the different cultures.
Nice to meet you NgTom. 🙂 Paulette
Thank for your stopping by, nice to see you around.
It’s indeed a very interesting book to read…
