Welcome to 2007

And here we are for a new year in our lifes.

this year started in a different way for me. just me and a friend looking to the river seeing lisbon on the other side, watching 3 diferent fire works at the same time, and intead of drinking champagne and eating grapes we just drunk wine. then we crossed the river to see a concert of the past and that i normally wouldn't go but had a lot of fun.
it was a night different of i imagined but at the same time for me magic.
But the world doesn't stop. the crisis situations degrated in some countries and the majority still didn't resolve their problems. the situation just improved in one country.
When i look to the crisis group report the same countries appear a lot of times like sudan and israel.
on the month of december a lot happened in the world. the situations deteorated in Basque Country, Bolivia, Egypt, Fiji, Iran, Israel, Kyrgyzstan, Somalia, Sudan, Turkmenistan.


i wish a good 2007
