Maputo is good for you
Maputo is going to be good for me... so to really valorize how much we do really have...
Is very hard to maintain the optimism i normally have in any of the Pacific island or in Sri Lanka... there is perhaps a better life for Africa... but they know that is way far in the future... hey are at the bottom of a rubbish bin... covered by bad shit like AIDS, misery, corruption, no education... and still be badly fucked by the Americans...read about the "free trade" agreements rounds in Mauritius... based solely on Oil...
our own EU!!... i saw a copy of the Fisheries Agreement... Spain, Portugal, France, Greece... 4.9 million Euro per year for unrestricted access to the grounds for 50 boats (all over 50 mts)...pathetic
and i supposed to work on fiscalization aim to "sustainable fishing"... very disappointed...
last Monday went to nice place named cerveceria Miramar.... when i came out... this 3 young prostitutes come to me aged 15 to 17 perhaps... so i got instead the car and lock the doors as they arrived... and they were offering themselves to me... pointing at my penis and opening the months... then pulling their t-shirts up and rubbing their tits against the car windows... while i was trying to get the antitheft block out of the wheel... and saying 'quince dollar'... quince dollar... 15USD... i finally started the car and star moving so they left... i was overwhelm... and fucked up... because i realize I’m the target market... alone... middle aged.. white guy in a big car... my types fuel that sad life... i was just out of my self...
there are good things... like the music... the caffes.... beautiful scenery... but overall happiness (which seems to be the fuel that maintains the place going) ... and incredibly a very laid back attitude to life...
i'm positive about being here... but i'm very pessimistic about the future of this (now my) people...
