Comments on: A Dutchman visiting Kuwait http://somecontrast.com/2008/09/30/a-dutchman-visiting-kuwait/ Like a valley next to a mountain, like the sunshine after the rain; life is much more with some contrasts.

If every country in the world would do the same, believe me... It will make a difference. We're talking in numbers of percentages, which is much more then many scientists, working in energy-consuming, airconditioned offices ever will achieve in their search for solutions regarding Global Warming, Peak Oil etc., etc... ;-) @Mathai Thank you for your nice comment, but I'm not that pessimistic about the public awareness of the world wide energy (related) problems. @intlxpatr Thanks for the compliment! May be someday in the future our children will compare our memories with their own experiences. @ Yousef …are you sure that you can’t miss your car for -let say..- 1 or 2 (Satur)days a month?

@Mathai Thank you for your nice comment, but I’m not that pessimistic about the public awareness of the world wide energy (related) problems.

That is absolutely fascinating, and reminded me, I was living in Germany in 1973, and we also had no-drive Sundays. It was really cool - everyone walked. Yousef, where do you find these things?
