Day of Alíz in Hungary. This name comes from the Alice...so happy name day Alice!:)
This globe is at the entrance of the University. It was made in 1966 and the text written to the table says: the traffic network of the world. I don't know how was the traffic in the 60's but to me, the globe looks not too "busy" with routes. Maybe they meant 1966 BC.:)

I love globes. It's a pretty impressive object!
impressive sculpture.
yeah, the traffic is almost non existent, i've heard the virtual travelling like DP blogging is in at the moment, so maybe that's why =)
maybe all the diff DPs around the world should have a little flag marked on the globe :-)
And thanks for your comments on my blog. Greetings to you from Chicago!

Back in 1961, my mother and I flew from Tokyo to Anchorage, Alaska, and then to Minnesota. It was a great big deal in Japan, and my grandfather rented a bus so all my relatives could go to the airport and see us off. Not sure about Europe, but 66 may not have been much different in Japan. I know things changed a bit after the Jumbos started arriving.
