Spider Bade-misty Mundae

THE BOTTOM ..... ELSEWHERE .......

Not much to put on the blog this time, the routine ... No special trip ... (We'll catch up with visits next ...) So
by browsing "my pictures" on the computer ... I thought I had to share, show ... what are the "SHIP BREAKING YARD.

In 2006, during our trip to Bangladesh, we had the "opportunity" (Not surprisingly, foreigners are not necessarily welcome in this area) to go see this "graveyard of ships" to CHITTAGONG.

is where we cut up, break, breaks, sorts, retrieves all that is recoverable from our larger vessels, the flagship of an international fleet, when they arrive end exploitation.

On the beach, hundreds of "little ants" are busy in mud odors, diesel, ... and probably worse.

They work 12-14 hours a day, 6 days a week and a half (only half a day off on Friday for prayers because they are mostly Muslims.) And are paid $ 1 25 per day ...
is their only livelihood.









That day, as paradoxical as it may be, these workers were waiting with impatience, a new boat to "reverse engineer" ... because no boat, no job!
They asked us to take pictures for evidence.
Done.

Can Braces Fix Missing Molar Teeth

PUERTO RICO SAN JUAN

Having strong need for a "cooling neuronal" after a difficult period ... We left a few days at 1h30 flight from here, discover San Juan, capital of the state of Puerto Rico. and there ... EXPATRIATION GUARANTEED !!!!!


Dates:

1493: Christopher Columbus discovers the island inhabited by the Taino Indians.

1508: Ponce de Leon (companion of Columbus) named a bay called Puerto Rico ("rich port") and founded San Juan.

1898: Spain is obliged to cede the island to the United States.

1917: Jones Act gives U.S. citizenship to Puerto Ricans.

1952: Puerto Rico is a commonwealth status with the United States.

In November 1993, Puerto Ricans say NO to a referendum to the possibility of becoming the 51st state of the Union.


Population:

3.9 million inhabitants high figure for an area of 8897 km2 (slightly larger than Corsica)


2 million Puerto Ricans living in the U.S. (mostly NYC)

4 of 5 residents are white and 1 in 5 is black.


All this to explain this very SPANISH environment (architecture, monuments, language, music, ...) with a very American way of life.
