That liter again

In the past I have been confronted with the difference between liters and kilos before causing problems in realizing the relation between the two. The confusion was created by a bag of sand that contained much more liters than kilos. Now I found a suitcase which advertises a content of 20 liters. It is a really huge suitcase. I regularly buy bottled water in an 8 liter container and I am sure 4 of these bottles could easily fit inside the suitcase. 4 bottles of 8 liters water is still 32 liters of water and this is much more than should oficially fit inside the suitcase.

Probably the manufacturer of the suitcase specifies the 20 liter limit because many airports have a weight limit per suitcase of 20 kilos. 1 kilo is equal to 1 liter, so it is easy to figure out the limit to place on the bag. It is easy, but incorrect. The suitcase is being sold with a content of 20 liters, but it easily fits 32 liters. Why sell something for less that it is? And why is the content of the suitcase expressed in weight? Is it not easier to design a new system where you indicate more clearly how many items fit inside the bag.

Weer een verhuizing

Samenwonen!Dit keer een verhuizing naar Las Palmas in Gran Canaria. Hopelijk deze keer voor een wat langere periode. Ik woon nu voor het eerst samen en dat is zeker deze eerste paar dagen een zeer rare ervaring. Ik hoop maar dat ik het overleef.

Bageaters

Lightning harvest
Red light, I’m gonna cross the street.
Red light, it means danger on it.
I look for problems over I am
I have magnetic field for them around me.

The Bageaters are a Spanish group of amateur musicians that perform regularly at various places near Madrid. The lyrics are nice and their music can be downloaded for free, so if your curious to hear some Spanish music with English lyrics this is your chance.

Las Palmas de Gran Canarias

Las Palmas de Gran Canarias!I’ll be in Gran Canaria from the 6th of April until the 14th. Ana wants to evaluate her future job and I will go and enjoy the sun for a week. Afterwards we’ll return to Madrid and we’ll have a decision to make. Do we or don’t we go to Gran Canaria for quite a long period. Who knows. In a few weeks I expect to have an update.
