Pulquerio at the movies

Yeasterday i started in London to leave a some minutes later to kenya and then passed to germany and stop in sudan finishing my trip in Tanzania, this happened all without leaving Lisbon.
I went ot the cinema yeasterday and saw to very good movies: The constant gardener and Darwing Nightmare.
The first one was great for me in all the main aspects, the story, the actors, the scenary, and in some parts i was thinking "what a hell i am doing here i should be there" looking at the action taking place in Kenya. The constant gardener was directed by Fernando Meirelles the director of Cidade de Deus, the main actors were Ralph Fiennes "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire , Schindler's List " and Rachel Weisz ( Constantine and The Mummy ) and was based on the John le Carré novel. The main plot is about the death of the wife of a english diplomate and his investigation to know what is behind her death. Great film
The second was the documentary Darwin's Nightmare that is passed in Tanzania. This movie follows all the activities and life that is conneted with the Nile perch fishing in the Victoria Lake. This movie shows the cruelty of the world and in some way how the rich north affects the poor south, and how contradictory is a country to be the main exporter of fish to Europe having misery and famine in their country, how food is being trade in change of wepons, how the supposed Tanzina economy is better because of this comerce when the truth is that the big ones get rich and the majority of the population wins less than a dollar per month, how all this fishing activity is based in a fish that is not original from the Lake Victoria and is killing all the endemic fishing, and one that most irritated me is to see the fat powerfull guys.
i recommend this film to everybody to wake up and see really how world is outside Europe.

Cascais

Lisbon metropolitan area is the biggest metropolitan area in Portugal and is composed by the folowing local goverments(include cities and towns), Alcochete, Almada, Amadora, Barreiro, Cacais, Lisboa, Loures, Mafra, Moita, Montijo, Odivelas, Oeiras, Palmela, Seixal, Sesimbra, Setúbal, Sintra, Vila Franca de Xira.
I am 100% from this metropolitan area, i was born and i work in Lisbon, live in Almada and my roots are from Sesimbra. So i am a true metropolitan guy.
The metropolitan area can be also divided in 2, the south and north, being separated by tagus river and then you can also distinguiche between the more rural areas and the urban areas.
Cascais is located in the west of Lisbon and is knowned has one of the most rich area. This fame comes mainly because it's here that you can find some of the most richest neighbourhoods and big houses. It's also in Cascais that there is the biggest comunitie of E.U.15 imigrants in Lisbon.
Cascais is a good place to go a for a walk, you have here the most western point in europe(cabo da roca), you have part of Sintra-Cascais natural park, some beaches and the most known casino in Portugal, the Estoril Casino.
So some weekends ago i took the train and i went there and visited the public garden and city hall

RD Congo, Sudan

i just want to divulge for 2 international situations so people can aknowledge what is hapenning in the world.
Sudan- There is big risk of agravating the conflict in the east of Sudan that can be worst than darfur and also can spread to Eritreia and Ethiopia

Democratic Republic of Congo- katanga conflict at the most rich mineral region in the country that is risk of becoming bigger after the march country elections. in this regions there are 3 main conflicts; north against south, natives with outsiders, mai-mai militias and national army. Can you see how much conflicts you can get that are always directly or indirectly with money.


A pilot in Dakar (Andy caldecoot) died this morning he was in 10th palce at general classificiation and had won a previous stage.

good news: a professor from my course is going to be responsible for a international study in antarctida about permafrost(soil that is permanently frosen)


if you have a good news for today it would be great

Not everything is bad

Last post i put here wich conflicts are agravating but in the same report you can also so find that some situations area had a litle improovement.

Democratic Republic of Congo-Had the first democartic vote in four decades and the majority aprouved the draft of a constitution

Afghanistan- The country has a new parliament in 30 years

Bolivia- For the first time in history the head of the state is an indigenous
Curiously he was the leader of coca plant production( not all the coca is for drugs)

Ivory Coast- all the partys accpeted the new prime-minister.

It would be great that the improvement was everywhere and not in only some states.

Have a nice weeked

Albufeira

This new year i went south, to Albufeira in the Algarve region one of the most turistic place in all Portugal. During summer Algarve is full of people because is well known because the sun and beach, during winter the new year day is the exception day of a region without anyone. Now to avoy the desertification during winter the turism operators are betting in golf.
Albufeira is a good example of what can happen to a place when there is no management, with the savage conquest of the coast by ciment, and even if this is not enought the sea continues to erode this part of the coast.
In April i was in a very interesting conference about coastal managment and i learned some very interesting things, and one of them was that the erosion is being increased because of marinas that are km aways that change the normal function of the currents the sea increases inthis place his power of taking the sediment transporting them more to east. So here the beach and clif disapears and near the marinas the sand increases.
One funny thing is that you don't see in the pictures is that some new hotels are beiing built very near the clifs.
!I love ciment!

New Year Again

Here we are in 2006, a new year in life. I really hope that this year wiil be better than 2005.
How was your new year night?What would be the perfect night for you?
The perfect night for me would be in an exotic country, in the midle of nowhere, in the midle of the desert or mountain, just be and the perfect girl, i don't need fireworks or music, or crouds or drinks, for me this components are essencial.
This year i was sorrounded by people, i had fire works, i had music, i was with some friends, i had a good view of the ocean i was even on the beach, i had drinks, but this was not enought for me.
Well, i hope next year will be better and i really hope to continue to change my life.

The gentle art of making enemys

It's very easy to make enemys more easy than to make friends but there is a big diference between people you just don't like and enemy.
Enemy can appear everywhere in your work, neighbours etc but the real, worst enemy are the ones you were friend in the past.
How to make a real enemy?
It's very simple , you win the simpaty of the person and has closer the person is to you better it is. Then one day just do the most stupid thing in a world, doesn't matter the motive and hurt the person real bad, then moove on and leave her.
If everything works well this person that is still a bit surprise with your reaction will hate so much that makes them your perfect enemy.
To increase the bad fillings just ingnore the person and let time work.

I just want to say sorry to all my enemys and i just hope not increase the number has fast i am doing now.

South side of the peninsula

Setubal is a very beautifull peninsula, is where i live and i have my roots, is where the mountain meets the ocean, so everytime i can i go to the southside of the peninsula and see the view, i just have to cross the peninsula and run away for my city.
Arrabida the place where i took this photo is one of the last place to have the mediterranian forest.
Enjoy the scenary

Weekend in valladolid

i was tired of being in the same city, so last wednesday i decided to go visit my friends in valladolid, i tokk the train exactly at 4 o'clock. the trip had to be for train because there is no more bus going directly from lisbon to valladolid. The train trips are always intersting, bacuase you are nver alone and you can always make an conversation to someone that is also alone like you. This time i had dinner in the restaurant, i wnated to try it, so this could be different ( the dinner is expensive like heel but it was good to try). I arrived to valladolid at 1.30 am were i had no one waiting for me, my frined forgot i was comming. i had to call him, only at 2.30 i arrived to a hot place.
I slept all the morning on thrusday and in the afternoon i met more friedns fo mine. it was interesting to attend a lecture about was the school in the times of Franco, i laghut a lot but it made me mad to see that they have portugal in their maps has part of spain, that i hate.
In the night i discovered more about the night in valladolid.
Friday i went to the arquitecture party that started at 11.30 and went all day., driking, dancing and talking, well it's better to forget the dancing part. One more night to discover the good things of valladolid and to play sonig in the sega megadrive( a new model).
Saturday was interesting, morning don't have a meaning for me in this city, i went to show this spanish guys that we also have the risk game, i almost win but in the end nobody won.
Today i still didn't get out and i am preparing to go to the cinema. i have to say i didn't see much of the city, but i already knew it so no problem
my train to Lisbon leaves at 3.20 in morning

goodbye valladolid

Life goes on

One more day, one more week, life goes on and everything goes the same has always, that may not be bad but it's not good also. I continue imagining my trips all over the world, now i dream with Morocco but i also have Stonia in my head. I recall all the people i have met in this time, and i question what are they doing, are they alive, married, what happened to them. What happened to your best friend in the kindergarden or the first girl you kissed, or the persons you met in the interrail or in the bus on the way to other country.
life goes on. Work, master studys, going out in the weekend and then comming back to work. Head full of dreams, ideas, problems, wishes, duties that you should do like taking the driving licence or finnish some papers.
Of corse something diferent happens sometimes that allows you to skip the routinejust ofr a litle, a small detail, like going to tv casting or going to boysband concert that you don't like with your nice and see all the girls screaming for you.
One more day, one more week life goes on.

Public transports

Public tranports are very interesting places and if you are a writer is certainly a source of ideas and characters and i confess i am a character.
Have you imagined how diferent public transports would be if nobody wore cloths, if nowadays is a good place to catch flue imagine without cloths would be for shure a place to catch other kinds of deaseas and a new kind of conversations would appear like "i hate going on public transports, i am pregnant again".
The transports are so packed sometimes that we really become initimate with the other passengers, we even sometimes share our complains with the others and we become brothers against the bad public transports.
Public transports are good to meet people that we don't see for a long time and share the things that had happened all this time, normally not much happened, only if you really didn't see htis person for really long time. Normally when someone askes me what you have been doing i always compealed to imagine a more exiting story than just saying working, walking around etc. Wouldn't you like to say like, well, in this years i was arrested but finnally i run away and now i picked this bus so i can have hosteges so i can reach Morocco.
Public transports are also a place to see people that you really don't want to see anymore and someotimes you are compeled to speak and be the most sinick has possible, like having a very big conversation like this: Hi. Hi
You always could not speak with that person and be more true with yourshelf but then you become anti social.
When you really hate someone, you don't see him or her for long time and you see them in the bus there is always a feeling of frustantion "dam, he/she is still alive".
Public transports are good to see what is in fashion, cloths, smells.
And then is good to see that are more ugly and crasy people than you (you think they are craiser and uglies than you).

Book tips

Yeasterday i bought finnally a book that i read a long time ago that i really liked it and that i recomend to every teenager. The first time i read, i didn't know anything about it and i just tooked it from the library and started to reading. At the same time i was reading i was listening to Soul Asylum so it was a great feeling. The book i am talking about is "Flash" by Charles Duchaussois. For the ones that don't know this is the autobriography of the autor telling aboutt the time he was a junkie and travelled around the drug world between 1968 and 1970, going from France to Nepal. for me this a travell book instead of a drug book.

But now i am reading another book,"In the South Seas" by Robert Louis Stevenson the writer of the "Treasure Island", this is about a trip he took to the Marquesas, Paumuts and Gilberts Islands in the south pacific. Like many travel books the writer instead of only descibing his adventure also tryes to describe the society, culture, history and problems of the places that he visit. This even more interesting because the book is from the end of the XIX century and some of the places he visited had just left the cannibalism behind and started to open more to the western world.

If i can't travel i have to read about it and imagine being there

The photo is once more of me travelling somewhere this is a way to share Bangladesh with rest of the world

Before the flood

Imagine you live calmmly your in city, in the valley, with a great view, a river near by and one day the goverment tells you that your house is going to be under water because they are going to build a big dam flooding all the valley submerging thousands of houses. This is the story of the documentary that i saw yeasterday, "Before the flood" by Yu Yan and Yifan Li from China. This documentary focuses in all the process wich haim is to destroy all city and moving the inhabitants to a new city that has been built from the ground. The director focoses mainly in three cases, the anglican church, a familly hostel people and the resident council. You see how the new houses are atributed, how the compensation money is given to each familly, the differences in amounts between cities, the despair of the ones that won't have money and see their past being all destroyed with very few hope in the future, the resistance of the ones that don't want to leave, and more the film develops more you see the city moving to the end.
A very interesting film that i recomend, for more details do a film search because i am not a film critic :-)
legend: it's not a war zone, just the last days of the old city.

Finnaly weekend

Finally is weekend! And is time to shave and try to look preaty to go out at night!
i am tired and bored to death! this week was very dull.
I miss traveling. I am making a new atlas colection but the books are very bad. The maps are in very bad scale and of corse the information is very few, and the description of the country is wrong has the legend of some photographs, ex: gives bad information about the exports of bangladesh and in one picture says that is a rice field but in reallity is a tea field.
I have finally the google earth in my pc, and i have marked all the places i have been but i think they are very few so i have to go to more places, there so many coutrny without any of my marks

Today i spoke with a friend of mine and i am thinking on going to morocco next december. Only this dream of travelling makes me going on and happy.

Today i applyed to work in Tailand for the UN so if know someone there, please tell them to hire me
Pulquerio

please, i also take nice photos.

The bad weather is back to Portugal

p.s.next week i will work hard

It's rainning again, o no i am loosing a friend(supertamp)

It's rainning, since last sunday that is rainning and the expalnation is simple, it's rainning because there were local elections in Portugal and Saint Peters(the guy upstairs that controls the weather and the people that enters in heaven)is still crying with the results. Did you know that one of our local presidents was suposed to be arrested but ran away to brasil and only came back to years after only to become president again, and she is not in jail, great. I understand saint peter very and i think because of this is going to rain all week.
Last saturday i went to see world press photo http://www.worldpressphoto.nl/ and i recomend it to everyone that likes photo jornalism. i am also a very good photo jornalist, one of the greatest has you can see by this picture.
This photo shows the dispare of a portuguese in the midle of nowhere at Gedser(danmark) in the dark sorounded by strange charaters and spirits. Enjoy the darkness

MTV

The place in the photo is going to receive the G8 meating in a few years and is one of the most expensive baltic coastal resorts. It a nice place to have a big party, like a rave, people dancing on the beach, on the top of the castle in a totally anarck way. I love music but not all, i get tired of hearing the same things very easelly.
I like hearing and watching portuguese music but unfortunelly that kind of music is an minority compared to american music and passes in the radio or Tv. MTV Portugal is interesting,when arrived passed some portuguese videoclips but now you have to be lucky to find one. The excuse could be that Portuguese music sells very few that can be true, but when i look at the portuguse chart and see that the in first place is a portuguese group(i don't like it very much it's young girls music) and that the 4th, 7th and 10 place is also portuguese i have to ask if it's true or not that portuguese don't want to see portuguese groups, then i see american groups that i never seen or heard and or not in the top of sails.
We have MTV Portugal but is almost the same thing that having MTV Europe in my opinion

Photos

One more day goes bye and i remember the good days i had in the this two past months, yeasterday i was reading my atlas and i was counting the coutries that i have been, Portugal included. Only 13, there are so many that i still have to go and so few time.

One walk around

One day in my summer corse i went
for a walk around warnemunde. i started in the beach, where there is
the big problem of the stormsurge. The autorities are recovering the dunes has a natural protectcion against the sea waves.





More east of Warnemunde we have a lot of erosion caused by the sea, many of the sand deposit in wanermunde beach comes form near bye clifs. One of the ways men found to fight the erosion was puting this stone protection






This photo was taken in one the first beach resort in the world, during the times of the east germany all this old buildings started to degradate and look abandoned, nowadays this resort is once again a place for very rich people, this two buildings are going to be recovered and in 2008 this place is going to have the G8 meeting.



This last photo i put here is form wisma a city that is in the list of world patrimony of UNESCO
Wisma is known for the three big churches, in the photo you can see the only one that wasn't all destroyed during the second world war.
The other two churches were recovered but only after the reunification of Germany

Goodbye Radio 91.6(now cidade fm)

i am very sad today!
i tought it was because of my horocope or because i stayed all sunday at home but today i discovered that was because one of the only two radios i listen i over.
The radio that i could here in 91.6 is over, one of the few radios where i could listen the clash or Sex pistols or even some strange groups that till today i don't know who they are! now this is all over. Now in 91.6 is the cidade fm one of the most comercial radios possible.
like i said there are only two radios i listen and the other i can't listen at work, so now i have no good music to listen. you could say i could listen to internet radio but for me is not the same, i could try to get mp3 but that means research work and internet at home.
So today is a very sad day.

And radio didn't have any publicity or stupid dj coments

East Germany

After leaving Gedser i took the ferry to Rostock where i stayed for two wonderfull weeks.
Rostock is the largest city of the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, situated in the old Eastern Germany, with a population of 200 000 residents.
In the Eatern Germany times, Rostock was the main port, with an incredible traffic, with reunification of Germany the port lost importance for the other bigger ports has Hamburg. Nowadays is more common to see a ferry full of turists from Scandinavia than a ship carring products. The all state is in crisis, the young people imigrate to west because there is no job, there is about 20% of unemployment in the state, agriculture is disapearing and industry is dead, the only hope is on turism, that is more intense near the baltic coast, supporting cities like Rostock and Wisma, but even here the crisis is felt. Nowadays is least expensive for a German turist to go to the warm coast of Greece than stay in the Cold and rainny shores of the baltic. The number of women in the state is decreasing more and more beacause of immigration. Did you know that even this State is still controlled by PDS( the old left party of the east) the racism and extream right has more power in this state than in the others. The differences between east and west are very big, here is not so common to find an english speaking person.
The city of Rostock was completly distroyed during the second world war, the cty because was small and compacted served has a test point by the allies to see how to atack the other cities. the bomb attack was very effective and destroyed all the city just in a few hours. After the war the city was recovered but not all, some buildings were left the same in a way to show how things were before the war. After the reunification of Germany all the main cities were totally recovered and the number of falling buildings is much smaller, now you can see the big churches totally recovered. People say that during the comunists time the country was falling appart, the state of the houses was very bad. One of the heritage from the comunists time were the very big dormitory, worker houses. Some of the buildings reminds me my city, the social neighborhoods.
Rostock is a very old city and has one of the oldest Universitys in Europe. The city used to be surounded by an old wall and we still can see some of their remainings. The main buildings are the gate doors and the city hall. One of the most funny things about the city is that in some churches there are people living there like they were in a flat.
There are some interestings parques and churchs, in of the churches you can go to the top of the tower and see all the city, in other church you wilol find a very strange clock that tells you hours, days, zodiac signe, sun set, etc but doesn't say the minutes. The other great sight is to see the harbor by night.
When i was there it was a special day, it was shopping day, so stores only close at midnight. It was really a great day i even saw a very nice fire show.

Copenhagen

On 2 of September i travelled to the north of Europe to the inospid territories of Danmark. I landed in Copenhagen were i stayed for only two nights, then i travelled south to Gedser where i took the ferry to Germany.
During this trip i violated the basic rules of travelling, first when i called to the hostel where i was going to stay i should had writen down wich bus and stop i should go out, i didn't, so i got lost and missed i bus stop. i took more than 1 hour to find the hostel but finnaly i found it.
back in the hostel i asked were i could raise money but i didn't care about the answer, resul: i wlaked like crasy and had to ask to a native danish( i discovered that he was from sumalia)where it was the cash machine and a nice place to eat. i found a very nice place to eat so nice that i decided to go in next night( on the next night i didn't find the restaurant). the rest of the night was nice, on my way back to the hostel i discovered a nice libanese bar were i smoked water tobacco, after i decided to go to the disco.
My arrival to the disco was funny, the guard asked me if i knew where i was, he thought that i was looking for the biblioteke( i had the guidebook in my hand and i was wearing glasses). i didn't pay entrance because i was a student. the music was very bad but i didn't care, only after ~leaving the disco and looking more carefully to the guidebook i discovered that the disco had two dance floors and i went to the bad one. Now that i am back to Portugal a friend of mine told me that i stayed in the worst neighborhood of the city and that some time ago a guy was kild in the disco.
In the second day i went to the big copenhagen tour, always caring my guidebook. i started with the cemmitary where the most famous dannish are. in the picture you can see Hans cristian handerson grave. The cemmitery is very nice, looks like a very big garden where you can walk, run, play ball but that is replected with graves. ( i saw people joggin in the cemmitery). My next stop was the botannic garden and the the fortress.
The story of the fortress is very funny. The fortress was build to protect the cities from attacks of the enemy comming from the Baltic Sea, but was the first place to be invaded by the German in the begginig of the second world war.
I continued walking now by the water where i passed near the "full of turists liltle marmaide",some churchs(catolic, protestant, ortodox), the house of the queen, till i reached the main the square where the opera house is. Near the square you have one of the longest streets in Europe free of cars.
In the afternoon i went to the parlament, national library, citty hall, main train station, lot of chruches and of corse cristiania.
Cristiania is a self declared independent country, in really is an old millitary barranks that was occupied in the 70 by people. For a long time thewy didn't pay taxes to Dannish goverment and is free to buy drugs there. It's a free stile of living. the country is governed by a coupreatiuve of people and put rules in that land. It's a very colloufull place, with strange houses, lot of graffities, very annimated. They have a lot of coffes, vegetarian restaurants and some nice jazz bars. I saw dannish girls dancing african tribal music, very funny.
This was my day in copenhagen, it was so long that in the night my legs hurt so much i could move.
The last contact i had with Danmark before going to Germany was Gedser. Gedser is a very strange town,, you don't see people anywhere, when i arrived to the ferry station i couldn't see a soul. the room was empty till a russian man came in, he sat there for a while quietly,then a women came after him and started havind a discussion, so it was only me and two russian people yelling and crying in this empty room in the midlle of nowhere. finnaly the ferry came and when i enterd in the ferry it was full of people( everyone goes by car or bus to the ferry, never on foot like me).
