Hera.The Olympic torch is lit several months before the start of the actual games. The flame begins its journey at the site of the original Olympic Games -- Olympia, Greece. It is lit, just as it was in ancient times, at the Temple of Hera.

She uses a parabolic mirror to focus light rays from the sun. The parabolic mirror has a curved shape. When it is held toward the sun, the curvature focuses the rays to a single point. The energy from the sun creates a great deal of heat. The priestess holds a torch in the center of the parabolic mirror, and the heat ignites the fuel in the torch, sparking a flame.If the sun is not shining on the day of the lighting ceremony, the priestess can light the torch w... http://hopefish.multiply.com/journal/item/105/The_Olympia_Flame Sat, 12 Jul 2008 20:12:00 -0000 Greece photos...finally <a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_N1-Gj3OJJhA/SHYb-zkgpEI/AAAAAAAAAg0/L963tlWLJaw/s1600-h/IMG_0931.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5221391583791850562" style="DISPLAY: block;MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;CURSOR: hand;TEXT-ALIGN: center;" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_N1-Gj3OJJhA/SHYb-zkgpEI/AAAAAAAAAg0/L963tlWLJaw/s320/IMG_0931.JPG" border="0" /></a> Finally ...managed to sort out the hundreds of photos...feel free to visit them on my multiply website:<a href="http://www.hopefish.multiply.com/">http://www.hopefish.multiply.com/</a>Enjoy!sandy aka avid traveller http://hopefish.multiply.com/journal/item/104/Greece_photos...finally Fri, 11 Jul 2008 05:20:00 -0000 Magical Greece Rich in history, mythology, arts and culture...be immersed by the beauty of nature ..Aegean Sea and the famous Sardonic island..Mykonos and http://hopefish.multiply.com/photos/album/11/Magical_Greece Wed, 9 Jul 2008 15:19:49 -0000 L Detective: Kenichi Matsuyama <a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_N1-Gj3OJJhA/SHNk1X_szNI/AAAAAAAAAgk/ouj3HPEXTUU/s1600-h/l_poster.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220627261189573842" style="FLOAT: left;MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px;CURSOR: hand;" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_N1-Gj3OJJhA/SHNk1X_szNI/AAAAAAAAAgk/ouj3HPEXTUU/s320/l_poster.JPG" border="0" /=""></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220626779978617970" style="DISPLAY: block;MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;CURSOR: hand;TEXT-ALIGN: center;" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_N1-Gj3OJJhA/SHNkZXWEVHI/AAAAAAAAAgc/oZ-bfFBXZP4/s320/66_3.jpg" border="0" /=""> L detective:Kenichi Matsuyama<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220625352873582066" style="DISPLAY: block;MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;WIDTH: 340px;CURSOR: hand;HEIGHT: 208px;TEXT-ALIGN: center;" height="157" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_N1-Gj3OJJhA/SHNjGS9tnfI/AAAAAAAAAgU/NNde6BU6v24/s320/l.jpg" width="253" border="0" /=""> hahha...got mesmerized by this 23 yr old jap boy acting skillsafter watching L : Change the Worldthe movie plot not that fantastic but Kenichi Matsuyama's acting is worth the show the real HIM: gorgeous (ehhehheh)Rent or buy the dvd and you get to watch the Behind-the-scenes , the making and the interview with the actors and actresses... http://hopefish.multiply.com/journal/item/102/L_Detective_Kenichi_Matsuyama Wed, 9 Jul 2008 03:51:00 -0000 Get ready to pay for Plastic bags at IKEA <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_N1-Gj3OJJhA/SHNST6-c0ZI/AAAAAAAAAgE/8o30wGIiLhQ/s1600-h/turtle-plastic-bag-photo.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220606895254720914" style="DISPLAY: block;MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;CURSOR: hand;TEXT-ALIGN: center;" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_N1-Gj3OJJhA/SHNST6-c0ZI/AAAAAAAAAgE/8o30wGIiLhQ/s320/turtle-plastic-bag-photo.jpg" border="0" /=""></a> i went to IKEA with my hubby last sun ... didnt know need to pay for plastic bags noe...$0.10 for a large one and $0.05 for a small one... aiya...maybe some of you know already... never tell me... anyway, heng didnt buy much or else have to pay for yah... remember to bring a bag with you ! whereas on the other part of island, i went to giant supermarket, i bought a few stuff and they gave me bags of plastic...when i said "no need to give plastic bag"...the cashier looked at me "weirdly"..."you sure hor..." she asked.. sigh... http://hopefish.multiply.com/journal/item/103/Get_ready_to_pay_for_Plastic_bags_at_IKEA Wed, 9 Jul 2008 02:30:00 -0000 share a bit abt Greece <a href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_N1-Gj3OJJhA/SGNdsdQJqeI/AAAAAAAAAf8/YmImBonas9U/s1600-h/134909781_125019ef1c.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216115811773164002" style="DISPLAY: block;MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;CURSOR: hand;TEXT-ALIGN: center;" alt="" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_N1-Gj3OJJhA/SGNdsdQJqeI/AAAAAAAAAf8/YmImBonas9U/s320/134909781_125019ef1c.jpg" border="0" /=""></a> school just started for the new term, deadlines cramped together since last week.apologies to all waiting for my greece photos and travel blog...i didnt know how "famous" i was till many approached me abt greece. so share a bit about greece ist before i show u all the beautiful photos (after i have some time to sort out ...)..
