My very smart boy having sweet dreams.

The weather is very hot these days here, in Spain.

Madagascar Isola di Ankazoberavina...e ho detto tutto !

Koi are considered a manly symbol, especially after it was appropriated by the Boys' Day Festival in Japan. According to legend, the koi climb the waterfall bravely, and if they are caught, they face their death on the cutting board bravely, like samurai. Other Japanese meanings include perseverance and strength.

In China, it is believed that if the koi succeeded in climbing to "Dragon Gate" on the Yellow River, the koi will be transformed into dragons. Because of the Chinese legend, koi are considered a symbol of advancement and aspiration.

NL In december 2020 ging het DDZ-materieel van de Nederlandse Spoorwegen preventief aan de kant. Dit omdat zich onverklaarbare trillingen voordeden bij het rijden op hoge snelheid.

Anno september 2021 is het nog altijd onduidelijk wanneer DDZ terug in actieve dienst komt. Bekend is dat er aanpassingen zijn en worden gedaan om de loop te verbeteren. Zodoende lijken er wel de nodige testritten gereden te worden, waar stel 7637 veel bij betrokken is.

Te Amersfoort Centraal is de NS 7637 te zien tijdens zo'n testrit. Deze rit verliep van de Watergraafsmeer via Rotterdam, Utrecht, Amersfoort naar Heerenveen en vandaar weer naar de Watergraafsmeer.
