Naruto Shippuden In Quicktime

At night




In Benin it is not easy to move at night, especially if you're in Cotonou, the country's economic cities, the city where there is a higher concentration of foreigners and especially whites.

And for white people is not easy to move. During the day if you are not motorized or prefer to avoid the traffic remained confusing and sickening to breathe in the warm car exhaust pipes as old as our grandparents, jumps on a zemigian, the moto-taxi driver.

In every corner you find qulacuno, some like to go back and forth to the city or someone waiting in his area with other colleagues in the shade of a tree. The customer is white the best score, there is always the possibility to make a nice booty, doubling the cost or inventing some excuse, increased gasoline, traffic on the streets, lengthening journey due to work or accident.

The white man is always seen as a transition, a tourist, an outsider.

Even after months or years in Benin, a white man will hardly be able to pay the same price as a local, mainly because they have less patience and will not want to spend half an hour to bargain for 30 cents.

It's fun but take their time in negotiations of this kind, because they give you the opportunity to know the mentality Benin, establish a relationship and ended the race you greetings with a handshake and a smile to the crack.

But this is what is going on until midnight. Normally zemigian work up to 22.00 from 20.00 and the fare increases. After midnight, however, very few taxi drivers in circulation and does not trust the people to rise for fear of hitting some bandits that you can rob. Realized foreign plays by the locals and avoid the zem.

The only choice, if you have another choice is out with his own half. To start the big risk is cross another rider tipsy. You must know that there is no license for the bike and everyone can guide, in Benin then there are the controls as in Italy and therefore the risk of crossing a drunk without a license are high. For your safety then avoid willingly to prefer two wheels to four more secure.

Unfortunately for the car, there are other problems, this time not for personal safety, but to bring him emptied, not by bandits but by loving cops.

These incorporate a low salary from the state and to supplement the salary nights patrolling the city. Usually create roadblocks in round or traffic lights. Stop the wheel and only the whites are always something that is not in good standing. Suffice it to say that the code Benin road every car should have a fire extinguisher and medical kit, two accessories that even the diplomatic machinery or the presidential possess. Not being told to rule you leave your car at the police station and spend the night in the barracks.

Almost no white will spend time in the night and leave those 5,000 francs CFA (7,50 €) for a faster return home.

I am not among those, I have absolutely no desire to leave cash at the police, I have never done and I hope I never will .. then to spend much quiet I returned to my village, there are no police there, only the military brigade, quiet people who recognize you for road. For Adjohoun not have any white, are one of the few whites, there are Nico.

So the city this week may be enough, too complicated, in some ways seems the 'Europe. No thanks, I return to my village on the red dirt track, in my nocturnal sensitization in remote and beautiful places.

Among ordinary people, happy, and then just walk to get from one place to another.

Sunfish Sailboat Used New Hampshire

Friends

For once I wanted to talk a little about you, I have been reading and be well!
not really know who you are .. I know my aficionado who had time and desire to enroll in 3 minutes .. I think we all do, unless you are in Benin and you have a connection to the dance, and the more time you lose a load every single page that you need to write.
So lazy friends who might also add that I do on my own, or those who are curious to know what happens to me or that place is Benin, obvious from my little point of view.
And then .. and write something, the only one who was beaten was my brother, casserole dish .. and all the others? and do not be shy.
you might as well ask something that I, in my many thoughts and I do not think the story, the thoughts that go through your head, smart .. or almost by clever .. let me know -
So give me new ideas to write something!
Today ends my weekend in Cotonou, woke up at 6:30 tomorrow and leave for Adjohoun. I have yet to understand why my manager always wants to get half an hour early, of course, to set a good example, but fuck, npoi arrive at 8.30, all the rest of the team always takes half an hour late!
Furbi them? unprofessional? Us fools? professionist too? Mah. I sleep happy hour in most all these damn Monday
While I am writing to you I'm trying to start internet explorer .. I know Mao, I have to leave, and firefox. both since I updated firefox, damn sti updates, I'm just open gmail and then crashes and suggestions in English and I do not want to understand English, but not that Ostrogothic French and already more than enough fongbe , and friends of the pc, suggestions are welcome, understand Mao, Mark, Andrew and co. Explanations aspect .. .. gosh!
Warning .. I speak not of the country of Benin, but between Prime Minister angry with friends and enemies, and great success in San Remo of Lippi and "My Love Italy" Pupo and Savoy .. thanks .. I return to my poor, beloved Benin .. here is much simpler, already before the world no one would sing a song so bad, Here the President is unable to explain whether a government gives him trouble, it throws off quite quickly, and nobody knows anything, corruption is rampant .. everything is more simple words, not like our newspapers who write a thousand items that tell us nothing , spoke a bit less of the crap in our country and perhaps some serious problems the world over understand that they are in Italian emeritus of shit most of the "news" in newspapers and news of our dear Italian .. and I discover the world! Speak even tourism, is already much better ..
Another thing that I have to follow is the rice and sauce in pans normal would not give any problems but here are disabled, everything is attached, and starts to burn .. damn the unhealthy idea of \u200b\u200bpotatoes in the sauce ..
And then, I have to explain to those who believe that they are in remote areas and desperate .. that there are also the weekend that I'm in town but me and the fun .. just to explain, now I'm spreading a super dense white cream, artificial cream after sun, today committed itself day after night-reggae concert last night and late night disco with Lebanese return at dawn home of the Brazilian diplomat, difficult to wake up crazy and cause hot bath in the swimming pool, it takes the life of cooperating, sweat already at 7 am and the only place to find peace and rest is the hammock on the veranda. Then you have to understand that there has been a fast ride to the supermarket to buy 2 kg of meat and three crates of beer for the Brazilian barbecue ..

Scabs Inside Nostrils

awareness Sissekpa




Sissekpa is a village about ten kilometers from Adjohoun with its 50 houses of mud and straw, and a kind of home school district covers a large area in the forest of palm trees and fields. Click

is to bring awareness a video projector, a generator from which to take the current, a computer, a mixer and a white cloth on which to project the image. By now

are now in Italy, everyday tools, we know its use, especially in view of important events such as concerts or football matches of our national team. The people of

Sissekpa however, was the first time he saw all these instruments and had not the faintest idea of \u200b\u200bhow they worked.

During the screening of the short film Anna, Bazil and the trafficker, as you can guess the history of trafficking in children, I had the opportunity to speak to a contemporary of my Sissekpa, Julien, a young man in smart, curious, intelligent and active in the community.

He asked me how it worked right away the projector, not having ever seen. But the funny thing was that we talked so much of white cloth, where the image was projected.

think it was a special towel when he realized he could also project the image onto a wall, was glad and went to another question.

< È vero che esiste anche uno strumento che può registrare le conversazioni tra le persone? perché molte volte ho delle discussioni con i miei amici e vorrei ricordarmele poi anche in futuro.>

true that there is a tool that can record the movements of people and also their sounds? Because when we do the work in the community or of the ceremonies, I would love to record them and review them then later with the whole community.>

Julien is 21 years old, graduated from 2 years, and is now working in the school Sissekpa, is a master.

He wanted from the very beginning a relationship with me, some whites often do not pass its parts.

The other night I felt like a mini portable wikipedia. I then asked

Adjohoun, that city was, where was our office, which svolgessimo activities.

It seemed too absurd to me, white, arrived three weeks I had not even tell him about a town that is not even 10 km from his village.

Those 10 miles were a distance, especially for a child without means of transport. But Julien

must move, they all have to move, the world does not revolve around them, I have to chase it, and somehow they will always remain a little 'back, because the world spins faster and has no time to wait. But perhaps this is not so important, do not touch them, the world can continue to run with his pace, the people here will continue to move with his rhythm and sometimes cross, and then a fleeting encounter on our own.

Why Do I Get A Yeast Infection After I Get A Wax

hardness and Africa

Benin is a strange world, difficult to understand, is tough, strong, critical, it makes you live the experience of breast , forces you to grow quickly in the harshness of life. Only the strongest, most stubborn, the most convinced succeed in their aim. So either give up or touches become so.

Living in Benin is not easy, is not for everyone as in Italy. Here not everyone can go forward, here, around the corner streets are dark, dangerous or inaccessible. Barely see 20 meters ahead, everything else is dark, uncertain, scary at all.

In Benin few can make that leap to a daily food safety. Few can count on support of health, on a bed, or rather on a couch.

Nobody helps you, because no one has been helped.

have the system of the fittest, if you fight, survive. Pull out teeth and claws to climb this damn wall that is life.

I had a hard day, I felt tired and fatigued, I had heavy legs and arms, his head was telling me of hanging lie, but I was more, the more I felt weak. It was hot, the fan even gave me relief.

There's no one here that takes you to a hot soup in bed or keep you company.

I think back to the facilities and comforts of home.

Nobody has time to care for others, meanwhile, must look after himself.

I felt weak. I went for the analysis of the big drop, that for malaria.

Comes Peter, my coordinator, felt that I was not feeling well and asked me to visit the nice, so I discovered the place.

Beninese In the eyes of nurses, I saw my weakness, my weakness, my fears of white, for a simple drop of blood. To them it was normal, as doctors deal with this, because they see Beninese pass dozens every day, and only those who can afford to spend € 2 and 30 cents. Most of the population uses the same amount to eat and drink for at least three days.

But I'm white, I do not have these problems, I have others, time for example.

hour wait towards the end I was up a bit 'of impatience, tension.

I called to find out the results. No response. It's been 75 minutes already, but in view of Benin, an hour can also be composed of 100 minutes. Recall. After several attempts, finally someone answered. Negative tell me. Thank and close. Notice Peter.

and from that moment that I feel better. Wow, I'm fine, I do not feel tired. Maybe it was just the heat, in fact it was a scorching heat.

I understand what your head can be dangerous.
