My to do list didn't reduce since my last post, and the pressure has just impossibly mounted up!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Traveling a lot, a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting cold here in France (yes, I'm in France just now). Getting pretty hot already in Southern Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think Occupy Wall Street is slowly demobilizing, the guys should sit in front of Congress, which is where the bankers and financiers have good friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile there was Lybia. Too complicated for a short time. But I recommend some food for thought by reading how &lt;a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/mar/20/libya-conflict-gaddafi-fight-to-death"&gt;personal revenge&lt;/a&gt; can drive "democratic" regimes to unbelievable behaviours. And my favorite journalist Robert Fisk again surpassing himself &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-you-cant-blame-gaddafi-for-thinking-he-was-one-of-the-good-guys-2373796.html"&gt;writing&lt;/a&gt; about the fall of Mr. Kaddafi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I love to have subscribed to the &lt;a href="http://www.courrierinternational.com/"&gt;Courrier International&lt;/a&gt;. Besides helping my French not to die (as I keep working mostly in Portuguese), the guys are really good and truly international.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2012 is soon coming. And I clearly remember how awesome it was to move from 1999 to 2000!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I still have lots of fun with my work, but (and I'll say it again...)

Life just opens some doors through which events keep passing and passing. Impossible to control them. It means: the blog's still left behind, as there are many other priorities just now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back in France from Brazil, on the way to Southern Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Almost 4 weeks in Brazil. Professor Rattner passing away. So glad we were so connected the last months, so glad I talked to him before coming to Brazil, so glad I could see him twice in the hospital before his departure. So glad I could drink from his experience, positive view, and his drive for people's development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things I flash-remember:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The IPTU (property tax)in Guarujá is one of the most expensive in Brazil. R$ 1100 a year. Between 60 to 70 USD a month. For 45 m2. The same as a house in São Paulo, of 150 m2, on a sought-for area. Ridiculous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, the politicians in Brazil... what a class. How professional they are in advocating in favor of themselves! Please, just be amazed by what "earns" (yes, earn!) a politician in  Brazil (&lt;a href="http://www.brazzil.com/cvrmar97.htm"&gt;see here an article published in 2008&lt;/a&gt;). The &lt;a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/brazilian-congressmen-make-more-than-american-congressmen/2011/04/13/AFhCsrYF_blog.html"&gt;Washington Post&lt;/a&gt; says that the politicians in Brazil make even more money than in the US! For the US figure click &lt;a href="http://moneywinks.wordpress.com/2009/05/21/how-much-do-politicians-make/"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually the strongest remembrance is really this: how things are so so so expensive down there, while the salaries are so so so low. A state teacher earns about 1000 reais, or 600 usd for a 25 hour-week, for instance. And there are strikes all over. And the firemen were asking for a decent wage (current salary at about 900 reais / 550 usd a month!), and were arrested for that! All of them! Etc etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the banks, ah the banks. Check the internet. Banks and profit. WOW! Here in &lt;a href="http://en.rian.ru/business/20110411/163470295.html"&gt;Russia&lt;/a&gt;, here in &lt;a href="http://uk.reuters.com/article/2011/04/08/skyebank-idUKLDE7371LZ20110408"&gt;Nigeria &lt;/a&gt;, and here &lt;a href="http://uk.reuters.com/article/2010/10/26/banks-brazil-idUKN2612076120101026"&gt;Brazil&lt;/a&gt;. And so it goes. All over the world. What a wonderful financial crisis. I guess if I were a banker, I'd love to be part of such a crisis, ending up being so profitable, with my losses taken over by the "government", meaning everyone's taxes. What a smart recipe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hum, what else should I tell you my readers? Well, you wanna the positive news?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were demonstrations for the decriminalization of the &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Canabis Sativa&lt;/span&gt; (I learned that the name &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;marijuana &lt;/span&gt;was given by &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Randolph_Hearst"&gt;Hearst&lt;/a&gt;, who led a campaign to make it a crime in 1930 in the US, and to link it to the Mexicans, Latinos e other "minor" people. Which really worked).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, and the police instead of protecting the demonstration arrested and beat the people. People then demonstrated for "freedom" (in Rio and São Paulo, at least). Well, that people are getting organized for political reasons is a novelty in Brazil. After the great demonstrations for the end of the military rule in the late 1980's, the majority went quiet to earn their day to day and be able to buy their mobile phones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I stop here. Too much to tell you, and I must go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enjoy! (and save water, and do not consume so much plastic, and beware the E. Coli, and use your bicycle!)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-5485916268567978144?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/5485916268567978144/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=5485916268567978144&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/5485916268567978144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/5485916268567978144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2011/06/summertime.html' title='summertime'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-4019053698117808308</id><published>2011-04-23T00:55:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2011-04-23T00:57:43.447+03:00</updated><title type='text'>um resumo</title><content type='html'>A título de notícias, aqui vai um resumo do meu projeto de doutorado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.wordle.net/show/wrdl/3504938/Untitled" title="Wordle: untitled"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.wordle.net/thumb/wrdl/3504938/Untitled" alt="Wordle: Untitled" style="padding:4px;border:1px solid #ddd"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-4019053698117808308?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/4019053698117808308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=4019053698117808308&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/4019053698117808308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/4019053698117808308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2011/04/um-resumo.html' title='um resumo'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-7546985283996123855</id><published>2011-04-07T22:49:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2011-04-07T22:55:31.692+03:00</updated><title type='text'>gone with the wind</title><content type='html'>hum... pity, the blog abandoned.

Meu primeiro filho que se vai oficialmente. Dançamos até! Marina ainda campeã de organizar as melhores festas! Beijo grande Marina e Fernando!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- os franceses contra a mudança da legislação, que estabelece a idade mínima para a aposentadoria (reforma, em Moçambique) em 62 anos (hoje 60), e da idade para receber uma pensão completa em 67 anos (hoje 65). O presidente (aqui chamado de Monsieur Sako) força a situação. Os sindicatos e grupos da população forçam um retrocesso. Até agora o Governo ganha, com a lei praticamente aprovada. Por outro lado, refinarias estão bloqueadas há algum tempo, e o povo não tem combustível. O ar deve estar bem mais limpo nos últimos dias. Nosso carro está parado há uma semana. Ontem 25 km de bicicleta. Na saúde, efeitos colaterais positivos e inesperados da mudança da lei da segurança social. Quarta-Feira é aprovação final. Vamos ver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- já nos vamos deslocar de novo, e o próximo post deve ser da África do Sul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- O projecto POEMA encerrou uma de suas fases mais difíceis: conseguimos completar a elaboração dos módulos, que contêm não só conhecimentos de muitas pessoas sobre muitas partes dos processos de Gestão do Estado Moçambicano, como conseguimos colocar no papel metodologias de capacitação inovadoras. Hurray! Feliz e orgulhosa da equipa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- O frio chegou aqui com o Outono europeu. Hoje chuvinha e céu cinza. Ontem inauguração da reabilitação da Fonte dos Anjos, uma fonte do século XVII aqui pertinho de casa, que voltou a funcionar, e com água potável! Inauguração à Francesa, com vinhos e petiscos. Primeira vez que vimos o prefeito. Monsieur le Maire. Lembro de Bonn, uma beleza vermelha do Outono!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- E as eleições brasileiras estão à porta. Recebo todos os dias montes de emails pró-Serra e pró-Dilma. Devo confessar que os emails pró-Serra são mais chatinhos, porque são em geral contra-Dilma e não apresentam nenhuma proposta que não seja essencialmente ficar na mesma, e se possível melhorar a vida da classe média e moralizar o país. O PT entra mais no campo das idéias, especialmente seus defensores, que criticam a excessiva privatização, a falta de investimento na educação etc. O páreo é duro quando se entra em algumas áreas em que o PT nunca foi assim forte, como das políticas de saúde pública. Todos os políticos se renderam ao discurso moralista de serem contra o aborto, por exemplo, quando todo mundo sabe que se o pratica na casa de todos, mas com risco somente para os pobres, que o fazem na cozinha. O PT vendeu a alma para ganhar a eleição. Talvez seja melhor assim.

The news, the same. Working and working. The big things of &lt;a href="http://www.poema-educacao-mocambique.blogspot.com"&gt;this project&lt;/a&gt; are coming to an end. The end of a phase. Gratifying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Never more than 2 weeks in a place. Moving from one continent to another so often is taking its toll. I look older, sure. Looking forward to some holidays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;in other news...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Summer in France is quite mild, pleasant. Although I do nothing more than sitting in front of my computer when I'm here, I have the view. And what a view. Biking a bit from time to time, tomorrow for instance: the bike has to go to the workshop to have the gearbox regulated. Reglé. Two days ago, we had HUGE fireworks here, but we are still wondering why... Ah, and a championship of &lt;a href="http://www.boulepertuisienne.fr/"&gt;pétanque&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My favorite news of the week is that there is a &lt;a href="http://politicsrespun.org/2010/08/how-we-and-the-french-keep-ripping-off-haiti/"&gt;movement in France &lt;/a&gt;for the devolution of the money that Haiti had to pay to France when it became independent. It's a lot of money. Imagine, to become independent, you pay a huge fine, and start your life in deep debt. Typical. I would support this if I were you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See:&lt;br /&gt;"The open letter to the French president says the debt, now worth more than €17bn (£14bn), would cover the rebuilding of the country after a devastating earthquake that killed more than 250,000 people seven months ago."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, if I start like this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I like as well:&lt;br /&gt;"through the UN [and your tax payer money], rich countries are about to fund 20 new coal-fired power plants in China and India [and South Africa] — and if the applications are approved, the UN's Clean Development Mechanism will become one of the largest funders of new coal power plants."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isn't it great?? Check the data &lt;a href="http://planetgreen.discovery.com/tech-transport/new-coal-plants-china-india-built-under-un-clean-development-mechanism.html"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope you are all fine.

Meus passaportes têm uma vida útil MUITO baixa, por causa do meu trabalho em Moçambique. Cada entrada em Moçambique come 2 páginas do passaporte. Este durou um ano e 3 meses, mas foi bom porque a foto minha no passaporte foi tirada às 5 da manhã numa dessas cabines de fotos automáticas, no caminho para ir esquiar em &lt;a href="http://chamonix.mydestinationinfo.com/"&gt;Chamonix&lt;/a&gt;! Eu estou toda de preto, de casaco e de cara de cama, eu heim! Isso porque quando eu vi que a cabine podia fazer fotos 5x7 cm eu aproveitei, porque poucos fotógrafos fazem este formato exigido pelo passaporte brasileiro.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas agora parece que o Brasil entrou no mundo informatizado também em suas representações no exterior: é tudo centralizado no Brasil, etc etc. Nem sei que cara vai ter o &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.ipcdigital.com/var/ipcdigital/storage/images/vida-no-japao/documentos/passaporte-com-novo-design-custa-quase-o-dobro/presidente-luiz-inacio-lula-da-silva-durante-lancamento-do-novo-passaporte-brasileiro-mais-moderno/80471-1-por-BR/Presidente-Luiz-Inacio-Lula-da-Silva-durante-lancamento-do-novo-passaporte-brasileiro-mais-moderno_fotogaleria_h.jpg&amp;imgrefurl=http://www.ipcdigital.com/br/Vida-no-Japao/Leis/Consulado/Passaporte-com-novo-design-custa-quase-o-dobro&amp;h=300&amp;w=450&amp;sz=20&amp;tbnid=lN8MR7llqDOIzM:&amp;tbnh=85&amp;tbnw=127&amp;prev=/images%3Fq%3Dnovo%2Bpassaporte%2BBrasil&amp;hl=&amp;usg=__17tCe-IZATlZwQAtI3KsHRoDmcM=&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=EcQQTO_dEM_Fsgbll93JBw&amp;ved=0CD4Q9QEwBw"&gt;passaporte&lt;/a&gt;, mas com certeza vai ter o mesmo número ridículo de folhas! E agora o bicho custa 120 dólares!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lá no centro da cidade tem um pouco mais da atmosfera de Copa do Mundo. O Peter resolveu comprar várias bandeiras para representar os nossos muitos países: Alemanha, França, África do Sul, Brasil. Pelo menos. Não compramos nem de Moçambique nem da Tanzania, mesmo porque a China esqueceu de fazer bandeiras destes países. A China? SIM, tudo tudo da Copa foi feito na China, excetuando os &lt;a href="http://www.makarapa.co.za/"&gt;makarapa&lt;/a&gt;, uma invenção local. O resto é tudo chinês!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De volta ao assunto, compramos as bandeiras por muitos e ridículos rands (eu me recusei, mas o Peter não me deixou estragar a festa!). Agora podemos torcer de forma mais nacionalista ou, no nosso caso, internacionalista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Falta uma TV em casa, temos uma velhinha bem pequenininha. Vai ser difícil ver onde anda a bola...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Hilda me escreveu lá da &lt;a href="http://www.worldofmoldova.com/"&gt;Moldova &lt;/a&gt;(acho que em Português é Moldávia)e me disse que ela está tendo the time of her life down there!

They even did not celebrate when they scored the second goal (I missed the first, it was raining cats and dogs here today... we got &lt;a href="http://www.quilombobrazil.com"&gt;there &lt;/a&gt;late...). Only the 4th and 5th goals were celebrated, but I'm afraid they were celebrating the match coming to a close as I heard that they would go straight from the stadium to the airport, to their special chartered plane...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It all ended up at 5 x 1 with the Tanzania team (led by another Brazilian, Marcio Máximo, whom I met once in the airplane, off course he flying business class and I the cattle class. But he was friendly, as Brazilians are ;-) very happy to have scored at least one goal!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It still rains cats and dogs...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-3415110045064813705?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/3415110045064813705/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=3415110045064813705&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/3415110045064813705'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/3415110045064813705'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2010/06/tanzania-x-brazil.html' title='Tanzania x Brazil'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-5757837553789392257</id><published>2010-06-06T21:11:00.009+03:00</published><updated>2010-06-10T13:30:23.068+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Cape Town and the Football World Cup 2010</title><content type='html'>Here we are, part of the "twenty ten", as the South Africans call this "mega-event", an adjective they do enjoy a lot. People like "mega" things here. Have you ever heard the sound of a vuvuzela (Wikipedia calls it a "stadium horn"!), the "mega" trumpet-like noise-maker secret weapon of mass distraction used by South Africans to destroy opponents by irritating them to the extreme? Ixe, I'm a bore saying this. I guess I'm getting too old to enjoy so many decibels!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, we're here. But Cape Town is not South Africa and some friends have already called it "the last refuge of whites in South Africa", which is sort of true, although a tough thing to admit. Demographically speaking, the Western Cape Province is the whitest of the South African Provinces, with most of its population being "coloured". 54% of people describes themselves as Coloured, 27% as Black, 18% as White, and 1% as Indian or Asian (2001 Census). The province is the only one led politically by the opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, which is led by a white (although extremely good in dancing the African dances) woman, Helen Zille.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having said that, I must tell you: when one talks about "World Cup" here one means nothing else but RUGBY! Yes, rugby is the sport in the hearts of the people, and they're crazy about it. I've seen finals, and it's indeed impressive! I do not know much about rugby, but after watching "Invictus", the film (sort of) about Nelson Mandela, I got to understand it a bit. This is because the film tells the story (Clint Eastwood tells the story) of Mandela's release from prison, his taking power, the whites' fear of retaliation by the blacks and his using the South African rugby team during a World Cup to "unite" the country. Cute. Mandela is always great, even when played by an American.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using sports to "unite" people and creating a national identity is an old political card, and it works well enough to get repeated often times (oh... Brazilian Lula's also great on that, as "he" got Brazilians the Olympics AND the Soccer World Cup for the next runs!). I remember my first Football World Cup. 1970. The hight of the military dictatorship in Brazil. People disappearing in prisons. I was a cute little innocent girl. It was the first time ever that we'd have colour TV broadcasting. ("Men" had just landed on the Moon the year before, remember?) Brazilian generals needed a victory. The Brazilian football team got it: three times world champions! Pele's team! etc etc&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was a slogan: Brazil, love it or leave it! wow! That was democracy. I actually heard it here today on the news too. The chairperson of the so called opposition party COPE (the Congress of the People!) said that they are a very democratic party: one must love it or one can leave it! Just right!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway. I'm diverting here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wanted to tell you that in Cape Town there is not so much of that football atmosphere as there is in Johannesburg. There will be only 8 matches here, and people are quite cool about it all. Maybe this is because they read newspapers. The construction of 10 Stadiums in the country was supposed to cost usd 200 million but ended up costing usd 2 billion, just 10 times what Government told the people they would cost when South Africa bid to host the tournament in 2004 (source: The Sunday Times of today). It seems that tourism is expected to bring about usd 1 billion to the economy, and one can only guess where this 1 billion is ending up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, but I'm spoiling the fun!!!! Hurray! Viva Bafana-Bafana! Talking about the guys (Bafana-Bafana is the national team), you know that their coach is the Brazilian Carlos A. Parreira, who makes some millions (of rands) every month to make an impact? He actually is making an impact in the last weeks, as Bafana-Bafana has been winning on a string of 11 matches. They open the Cup on the 11th of June, playing against Mexico (as everyone probably knows!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah! And more about soccer! Tomorrow "Brazil" will play "Tanzania" in Dar es Salaam, in the Stadium called President Benjamim Mkapa (the former president before the incumbent, Kikwete). I read that the Tanzanian Government had to foot a bill of usd 2.5 million (I'll never get used to so many "millions" being spoken so easily!) as an incentive to the Brazilians to come... And tickets of course are only for the elite: prices between 20 and 120 usd each. Nice Brazilians. The guys mean business!!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, in other news, President Zuma continues projecting the image of a very open South Africa, creating a lot of food for the red press: it seems that his second wife is pregnant of his body-guard, who allegedly killed himself. This second first lady was the one accompanying him to his last week's  visit to India. She's also said to have paid him a goat last week as compensation for her bad behaviour when he announced that he's gonna get married to his fifth wife soon - see below... And I thought I would have a good time with South Africa, Brazil and India playing a strong body of emergent countries to lead the world into a new era of social justice, when they formed IBSA some years ago!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, guys, I have the newspaper in my hands, and I must tell you, as it's really juice! The prez Zuma is said to have already paid lobolo (the dowry, for non-African experts) to his fifth wife to be, the one mentioned above. Mama Gloria Ngema, with whom he has already a son!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OK, I'll stop now with this Zuma thing, as it's too easy news.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More of other news? Guess what? I work and work and work but got motivated to come here and write because Nina sent me a quick nice message telling me that she read my posts and liked them, saying that I should write more. So, Nina, here's  South Africa to you!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-5757837553789392257?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/5757837553789392257/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=5757837553789392257&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/5757837553789392257'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/5757837553789392257'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2010/06/cape-town-and-football-world-cup-2010.html' title='Cape Town and the Football World Cup 2010'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-5555895410042372124</id><published>2010-05-31T11:54:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2010-05-31T12:07:11.258+03:00</updated><title type='text'>ai ai ai</title><content type='html'>Meus leitores estão me abandonando já que eu não escrevo mais aqui... Que vida maluquinha essa de não ter tempo de contar histórias!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depois de montar a casa na França, com todas as pinturas (só a garagem ainda precisa de tabalho...) nos preparamos para mais uma viagem. Antes de sair, fomos fazer o passeio inaugural de bicicleta, e foi tão bom que eu acho que dessa vez vai pegar, como nos tempos da Alemanha, quando andar de bicicleta era básico, primário, normal, rotina.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minha amiga Rita me conecta com as fotos do passeio dela de bike, por muitos e muitos quilômetros, e num bando alegre. Essa minha amiga, sempre me surpreendendo com sua energia. Ela diz que eu não posso só pensar em trabalho. Bom, não é que eu "pense" em trabalho, eu trabalho o trabalho, por assim dizer. Isso porque eu me comprometi com um projeto GRANDE e não tenho como fugir... As pausas têm que ser curtas pro tempo funcionar e eu poder ir relaxada pro casório do Anand (imagine se eu tenho que trazer trabalho pro Brasil!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esse fim de semana foi de curtir minha amiga Claudia e participar da Virada Cultural em Bonn, um evento atrás do outro e a gente correndo de um lugar pro outro. Conseguimos nos manter até as 3 da manhã, num show de ska, mas eu já tava morta, porque já tínhamos festado no dia anterior! Ufa!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agora no aerporto, em trânsito. Mais um.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Copa do Mundo (claro, de futebol, mas se fosse falar só assim "copa do mundo" na África do Sul, eles pensariam sempre em rúgbi!) começa em 10 dias, temos que procurar os public viewing lá em Cape Town.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É frio aqui, uma peninha, porque na França já estava o maior verão.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faz tempo que não falo com minhas amigas. Kate, I haven't talked to you for a while!!! I phoned Annette though, and the good news that a baby is coming made my day!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Claudia faz anos hoje, parabéns pra você!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meu preto chegou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have heard of that before, but never really got it internalized. Now, I live (at least part of the time) in France, and people say wow, you live in France. That's indeed interesting! Actually, the people in Brazil, when I say I live in France, say, ah! Paris! It's like if saying I'm Brazilian, people would say Ah! Rio de Janeiro! Garota de Ipanema!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, we know very little of this little big planet Earth. We know very little of our neighbours. We know very little sometimes even of our partners and family, and sons and daughters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's good to have a flat rate paid for the telephone as I can phone again a lot of people I almost do not talk to... and it is indeed so good to hear how happy they are when I phone. It's been a bit hectic here (a bit is an euphemism, as we have been unpacking 125 boxes!).  But WAIT! You'll be called soon!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess life's gonna be normal (??) again in some months. Commuting between the south of France and the Cape in South Africa is not an easy thing to do. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You think it's all flowers in France? No way. A piece of news from my friend Michele (it's a newspaper cut without reference, sorry!): The number of people whose revenues surpasses 100.000 Euros net per year has increased 28% between 2004 and 2007. And the number of those whose revenues amount to more than 500.000 (per year)Euros increased 70%!. This means 84.000 Euros a month. And this is real revenues, and not accumulated fortune or assets. Within the same period poverty increased 22% (8 million people in 2007), that is people living with less than 908 Euros a month.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The French seem to be politically engaged. At least, our little community has an association, and we intend to participate in the next meeting. On the TV, there are quite a few political debates, and not the extremely superficial programmes broad-casted in Brazil and South Africa. Although they have debated a lot recently about the alleged love affairs of their president's (they call him Sako) and of his wife's (la belle de jour, Carla B-S), they do debate as well who should be the next candidate with some change to represent the socialists, in a weak phase in Europe as you all know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wait for more exciting news at any time!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-1827665494331670056?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/1827665494331670056/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=1827665494331670056&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/1827665494331670056'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/1827665494331670056'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2010/04/la-france.html' title='La France'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-8342979331045604786</id><published>2010-03-01T20:21:00.004+03:00</published><updated>2010-06-06T21:11:03.004+03:00</updated><title type='text'>milk and homosexuality</title><content type='html'>One of the philosophical issues / questions that arise from time to time in debates between Peter and me is the question of tradition. Even more strange when this "issue" is put into opposing terms: tradition and modernity. Irk!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've actually read a very interesting interpretation from the feminist studies' point of view (&lt;a href="http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/feminism-epistemology/#standpoint"&gt;standpoint feminism&lt;/a&gt;) about the patriarchal dualistic thinking: "Hilary Rose argues that caring work potentially engages thinking and feeling, bodily and cultural dimensions, autonomy and relatedness in ways that undermine fixed oppositions between nature and culture, reason and emotion and self and other. It is potentially the basis in women's lives for an alternative rationality to the polarizing, abstract, and destructive rationality of the patriarchal world" (in Benton and Craib,Philosophy of Social Science, 2001).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it that I'm up to here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, I watched &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvey_Milk"&gt;Milk &lt;/a&gt;(actually, Sean Penn rehabilitated himself in my eyes, as I found his performance in "The interpreter" with N. Kidman, so so superficial - despite Maputo's dilapidated stadium showing there...) this week. Well, isn't it that the persona that is Harvey Milk / Sean Penn does have this non-dualistic standpoint? This is to say that through these insights one can really understand the difference between sex and gender (although sex is also engendered but this is too complicated for this post), meaning a man can be feminine and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my life, I came to terms with my complete absence of need for a clear and dualistic view of the world. Excuse me? Black and White? Good or Bad? Right or Wrong? Modern or Traditional? National or Foreign? You don't get me there. Exu não precisa de casa, no doubt.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dualism has given birth to so so many problems and suffering in this (male dominated) world. As it happens, I also watched &lt;a href="http://www.timeout.com/film/reviews/87380/Skin.html"&gt;Skin &lt;/a&gt;this week. Wow! I really feel sorry for South Africans, who still have so much racial talk around here. I feel sorry for so much suffering, and Skin also shows how much patriarchal is morality.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, oh, sorry men, I must commiserate for you, as only compassion can give you peace of mind... No, I'm joking. Duality is not a gendered thinking only, although it is, a lot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let us see, for instance, the issue of homosexuality in Africa (Africa, what's that?). In my Master's thesis I had already tackled the subject, which was quite innovative, but as everybody knows few people read Master's theses... I asked various young political leaders in Tanzania what did they think about homosexuality and sexuality (among other "issues").&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In our Master's course at Wits University some weeks ago, I was quite surprised with my own emotional attitude related to the same topic. A man in the group hinted at a "problem": it is difficult to relate to other men (we were playing a group game). So, I just managed to say some very emotional words about our duty in opposing what's happening in Africa (see mostly &lt;a href="http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/blog/show/4717"&gt;Uganda's legal bill&lt;/a&gt; criminalizing sex between same sex people) regarding the lack of rights for people who want to love / have sex / whatever with another person without lying. Yes, because lying is ok, as everybody knows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the Mail&amp;Guardian this week, there is an &lt;a href="http://www.mg.co.za/article/2010-02-26-not-safe-to-come-out"&gt;article &lt;/a&gt;("not safe to come out"), showing quite a few examples of hate, prejudice, intolerance and radical ignorance in a few countries in "Africa" (although this is not to say that intolerance is worse here than in some other parts of the world).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some weeks ago, I also wrote a comment to a magazine that published an article about one's reaction when one finds out that one's son or daughter is gay (I cannot find the reference just now), coming back to the same "issue".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, WHY do I care about all this? Am I an homosexual? A lesbian? Imagine, myself getting into this trap, defining myself by a hetero/homo duality. NO WAY! But why do I care?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I guess it's because I care so much about breaking dualities. About repudiating traditions. I can't help it but laugh when I hear about tradition and modernity. I argue with Peter: this is a useless duality, they're useless categories, why would one need such a thing as separating what is "&lt;a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=tradition&amp;searchmode=none"&gt;tradition&lt;/a&gt;" from what "&lt;a href="http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=modern"&gt;modernity&lt;/a&gt;" is.&lt;br /&gt;African philosophy has a lot of dualities: just see one example &lt;a href="http://www.nhinet.org/ciaffa21-1.pdf"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

I write in English after a while, as a friend of mine complained that the news have been only in Portuguese recently. So, my dear, here we are!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A little bit of plagiarism, as my son Daniel wrote about his Christmas and New Year's Eve on his blog. Christmas was in Cape Town, with friends. It was a great time, and thanks for Rob and Helen's great roast, Michael's supportive words towards practicing to roll coins between my fingers (he says this is a basic skill necessary for all candidates to being magicians), Hans-Peter and Claudia wonderful company for Christmas eve. And we were not robbed this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to work non-stop, including Christmas days, and this is sort of becoming a weird tradition that I plan to break in 2010!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Immediately after Christmas, we headed for Brazil, for my first visit to "my" contry in this time of year since 1996. Wow! We went to a very comfortable place, with rooms for everybody (although Marilia was sharing with Anand and Iara), a swimming pool, a great view, entertaining area, a big TV screen for the obsessed with Guitar Heroes, and easy access. It was really good. The weather was perfect, and everybody ended up well tanned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I enjoyed a good time with my friend Rita and Lucho. Rita is my sister, and it's amazing how it's becoming even more so. She's sweet and caring. To go away is always difficult.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The kids are all fine, family altogether fine. Anand remains in Campinas, and André has moved there. André wants to continue his work with "After Effects", a final edition application for video and TV, which he mastered while working at TV UFOP in Ouro Preto. If anybody has hearded of something, please, let me know. Caetano started his Masters, Davi is nearly his undergrad studies in Economics. Denise started her new job and has a new house. Carol is almost there with her Masters. Anand and Iara announced that they're going to get married in 2010! I'm hoping for a good party!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marilia continues her success with her TV programme. Carol won the Biblioteca Nacional's prize for best editorial design of the year. Helo is almost realizing her dream... the house on the island is ready now. The list of achievements is long...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just now, I'm working in Johannesburg and in 10 days Maputo again, for 2 weeks. Life continues. The big resolutions of 2010 are: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;well, I don't believe in big resolutions, more in daily resolutions. So, I will go earlier to bed tonight!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-1045317830924996403?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/1045317830924996403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=1045317830924996403&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/1045317830924996403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/1045317830924996403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2010/01/in-english.html' title='in English'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-5022120762593449934</id><published>2009-12-26T19:27:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2010-01-28T15:52:53.642+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Happy 2010!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/S2GILSOfvxI/AAAAAAAAA0g/TU75nqor5dA/s1600-h/Happy_2010.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 290px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/S2GILSOfvxI/AAAAAAAAA0g/TU75nqor5dA/s400/Happy_2010.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431772353038106386" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-5022120762593449934?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/5022120762593449934/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=5022120762593449934&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/5022120762593449934'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/5022120762593449934'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2009/12/happy-2010.html' title='Happy 2010!'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/S2GILSOfvxI/AAAAAAAAA0g/TU75nqor5dA/s72-c/Happy_2010.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-4113378569697862275</id><published>2009-12-15T17:21:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2009-12-15T17:25:11.230+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Conferência de Copenhague bate recorde de emissões de gás-estufa</title><content type='html'>Com este título, precisa falar alguma coisa??

Isso se deve ao fato de Peter e eu sermos doidos o suficiente para, em meio a muitas obrigações, nos propor a fazer um doutorado. Ele escreve sobre Tanzania e Gana, eu sobre Moçambiqe, meu país de adoção. Não que eles tenham me adotado porque vocês sabem que os Estados em geral colocam muitas barreiras para o amor entre pessoas e países. É muito complicado se viver no país que você ama. Isso vale para Brasileiros e o Brasil, para Alemães e o Brasil, ou para Brasileiros e Moçambique, Holanda ou Portugal ou mesmo a Papua Nova Guiné. O único país que ainda parece ser mais ou menos amistoso em relação à migração é a Austrália, e mesmo assim...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Enfim, se não Moçambique os Moçambicanos aceitam meu amor, e assim vamos vivendo maritalmente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma de nossas pernas já está também de mudança para a França, onde um dia pretendemos seguir a família materna do Peter e aproveitar a vida com a tradição fascinante dos bons vinhos - simples vinhos, mas às vezes, perfeitos -, dos tomates cheirosos, do melão maduro, da ratatouille, do peixe fresco de Marseille.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Há mais novidades mas escrevo em trânsito.

Um resumo rápido seria cheio de viagens, novos desafios, pessoas interessantíssimas, grupos de trabalho, alguns sucessos muito significativos, novas portas se abrindo, poucas se fechando!&lt;br /&gt;Mas como é muita coisa, e talvez não venha ao caso, vale dizer que o tempo de Tanzania está quase no fim e que nos preparamos para novos ares na África do Sul e na França, não sabemos bem em que ordem, e qual a proporção do tempo em cada um destes países.&lt;br /&gt;Dezembro sera o mês da grande mudança. Até cerca de 10 de Dezembro, ainda estamos fechando as últimas pastas, caixas e encontros desta fase.  Depois, uma tentative de pausa por umas semanas. Brasil para o Ano Novo depois de muitos e muitos anos.&lt;br /&gt;2010 promete. O trabalho com a Universidade de Wits, no nosso Professional Certificate in Education Finance continua, com as primeiras duas semanas de curso já iniciando no dia 18 de Janeiro. O trabalho com a InWent também continua em 2010, com o lançamento dos Módulos de capacitação em POEMA por volta de Abril ou Maio. Alguns trabalhos extras estão discutidos, vamos ver o que acontece mesmo: gestão de risco de calamidades, educação em Benin na África Ocidental, onde nunca trabalhei antes, visita a Rwanda, talvez uma cooperação com uma Universidade em Moçambique, talvez mais desenvolvvimento de formação de lideranças, na trilha em construção há tantos anos. Para coroar este interessantíssimo universo de possibilidades, tem o projeto de doutorado, já aceito pela Universidade da Cidade do Cabo, na África do Sul.&lt;br /&gt;Em casa, muito progresso academico, com muita gente avançando nos estudos, descobrindo caminhos, criando história: Peter com Nyerere, Caetano com José Siqueira, Davi com Becker e os filhos. Mas tem histórias também do Ricardo, com o mestrado em engenharia, a Carol, com o fim da pós na FAU e muita aventura pela frente, o Gabriel, com o job de limpar o solo de Sampa. Tem a Marilia de casa renovada, tem a Helo de casa nova. Tem a copa do mundo - claro, de futebol! - na África do Sul - quem vem?&lt;br /&gt;Tem muitos amigos esperando pelo mundo: vai dar? Em Shangai, China, em Uganda, em Benin, em Portugal, no México, no Chile, na França, no Vietnam, no Paquistão, na Austrália. Tem amigos em Natal, Maceió, Salvador, Manaus, São Paulo, Rio...Tem Visconde Mauá pra rever, tem a Grécia pra conhecer.

É compreensível, uma vez que é mais fácil dirigir onde não há carros, num trânsito caótico como o vosso aí no Brazil-zil-zil. MAS, uma solução muito simples - esta é minha sugestão para as vossas demonstrações populares reclamando uma solução JÁ - é reservar cerca de 4 metros imediatamente após as faixas TODAS da cidade, em áreas de maior trânsito, e talvez 2 metros em áreas de menor trânsito, para MOTOS e eventuais bicicletas - parece que o número de bikes está também a aumentar progressivamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;É só uma questão de parar os carros um POUQUINHO antes... UAU, parece mesmo fácil. O resto é só educação, o que parece a parte fraca da coisa, pois li que somente 0.4 ou 0.6% das multas hoje aplicadas em Sampa se referem a carros ou motos avançando sobre a faixa do (POBRE!) pedestre! Bem, é claro que precisa educar o pedestre também para não avançar para a rua!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, e o trem-bala? Este li hoje; e lembrei de uma conversa há uns dias atrás: perguntei a brasileiros o porque de se chamar este trem entre SP e Rio de trem-bala. Bom, só a pergunta meio que assustou os gajos: por que alguém questionaria isso?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu penso que a denominação BALA é muito violenta, militar, e lembra algo que vai ferir etc. Pelo menos pra mim, pra você não? Minha sugestão é chamar o bicho de TREM-RÁPIDO, ou TREM-EXPRESSO, ou mesmo adotando a mineirice chamar de TREM-BÃO, já que o "desenvolvimento" brasileiro acabou com qualquer possibilidade de transporte ferroviário para poder ajudar a consumir o petróleo do mundo (Viva JK!), e qualquer trem agora já é um trem-bão!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-1942906126415319691?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/1942906126415319691/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=1942906126415319691&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/1942906126415319691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/1942906126415319691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2009/10/trem-bala-bicicletas-e-os-pedestres.html' title='trem-bala, bicicletas e os pedestres'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-8300741498081866920</id><published>2009-10-11T11:36:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2009-10-11T11:44:45.216+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Verão no sul</title><content type='html'>O verão está chegando na Tanzania, de repente. Há duas semanas atrás ainda era possível dormir tranquilo. Agora, já sem ventilador é quase impossível. Hoje o dia todo sem eletricidade. O verão chegou.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lembro de  Outubro na Europa. Vermelho, muito vermelho nas árvores. Quando o tempo está bom, azul no céu. Frio sem congelar. Um dos meus períodos favoritos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outubro é mês de aniversário duplo, protegido pelos Ibeijis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muito, muito trabalho e pouco tempo para contar as coisas. Um resumo rápido seria cheio de viagens, novos desafios, pessoas interessantíssimas, grupos de trabalho, alguns sucessos muito significativos, novas portas se abrindo, poucas se fechando!&lt;br /&gt;Mas como é muita coisa, e talvez não venha ao caso, vale dizer que o tempo de Tanzania está quase no fim e que nos preparamos para novos ares na África do Sul e na França, não sabemos bem em que ordem, e qual a proporção do tempo em cada um destes países.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dezembro será o mês da grande mudança. Até cerca de 10 de Dezembro, ainda estamos fechando as últimas pastas, caixas e encontros desta fase.  Depois, uma tentativa de pausa por umas semanas. Brasil para o Ano Novo depois de muitos e muitos anos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2010 promete. O trabalho com a Universidade de Wits, no nosso Professional Certificate in Education Finance, continua, com as primeiras duas semanas de curso já iniciando no dia 18 de Janeiro. O trabalho com a InWent também continua em 2010, com o lançamento dos Módulos de Capacitação em POEMA por volta de Abril ou Maio. Alguns trabalhos extras estão discutidos, vamos ver o que acontece mesmo: gestão de risco de calamidades, educação em Benin na África Ocidental, onde nunca trabalhei antes, visita a Rwanda, talvez uma cooperação com uma Universidade em Moçambique, talvez mais desenvolvvimento de formação de lideranças, na trilha em construção há tantos anos. Para coroar este interessantíssimo universo de possibilidades, tem o projeto de doutorado, já aceito pela Universidade da Cidade do Cabo, na África do Sul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Em casa, muito progresso academic, com muita gente avançando nos estudos, descobrindo caminhos, criando história: Peter com Nyerere, Caetano com José Siqueira, Davi com Becker e os filhos. Mas tem histórias também do Ricardo, com o mestrado em engenharia, a Carol, com o fim da pós na FAU e muita aventura pela frente, o Gabriel, com o job de limpar o solo de Sampa. Tem a Marilia de casa renovada, tem a Helo de casa nova. Tem a copa do mundo - claro, de futebol! - na África do Sul - quem vem?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tem muitos amigos esperando pelo mundo: vai dar? Em Shangai, China, em Uganda, em Benin, em Portugal, no México, no Chile, na França, no Vietnam, no Paquistão, na Austrália. Tem amigos em Natal, Maceió, Salvador, Manaus, São Paulo, Rio...Tem Visconde de Mauá pra rever, tem a Grécia pra conhecer. O que sera que vai rolar?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Tanzania virando passado, mas amigos ficando no peito, poucos e queridos.&lt;br /&gt;Moçambique continua minha casa, se os Moçambicanos continuarem abrindo as portas.&lt;br /&gt;A França vai virar casa? Michele e Lis preparam a festa?&lt;br /&gt;E a vó vai fazer 93 anos? E o Caetano 30?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quanta coisa possível, e isto é só 2010!

What's to be a facilitator? I just recall another story: a person working for the German Development Bank looked at my business card and said: "oh, I would never hire you with this title: social development facilitator? What's that? I would hire an economist, for instance".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think a facilitator has one major role: to link. To marry. What? People, processes, procedures, instructions, orientations. Funders with funded. Plan and budget. Data producers and data users. Writers and readers. Central and decentralized level.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In facilitation events, the facilitator has to be very good in three things:&lt;br /&gt;1. To do a thorough preparation, getting ready to promote varying moments of opening up, and consensus making, opening up, and consensus making...&lt;br /&gt;2. To calculate well the time. The time needed for people to read, to listen, to reflect, to talk, to share. Start on time, finish on time. No pressure. Fun. And mission accomplished in the end.&lt;br /&gt;3. To link and marry, as I said. How? Paying attention to the people. Listening. Connecting. Deconstructing individual discourses to cook a collective understanding. Relating the local and the global.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, that was my quick recipe for good facilitation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One more picture of our group last week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/Sh-tCCCRjDI/AAAAAAAAAtE/R_B3FsA5dAI/s1600-h/POEMA-equipa.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 152px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/Sh-tCCCRjDI/AAAAAAAAAtE/R_B3FsA5dAI/s320/POEMA-equipa.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341177933502450738" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Até!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-4468664889196080792?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/4468664889196080792/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=4468664889196080792&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/4468664889196080792'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/4468664889196080792'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2009/05/facilitation.html' title='facilitation'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/Sh-tCCCRjDI/AAAAAAAAAtE/R_B3FsA5dAI/s72-c/POEMA-equipa.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-4866141395301008565</id><published>2009-05-24T14:07:00.005+03:00</published><updated>2009-05-29T12:27:01.077+03:00</updated><title type='text'>maio esvaneceu-se</title><content type='html'>De repente, visito o blog da família e vejo que o Anand escreveu no seu blog que Maio quase se foi sem post. percebo a mesma coisa! Como pode ser que um mês passou assim tão rápido?!?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Escrevo de Maputo. Montes de trabalho passaram por baixo da ponte desde o último post. Minha mãezinha Marilinha fez seus 70. O Peter já comemora seus anos de novo na próxima semana, e meus 50 estão a virar a esquina. Esta coisa toda dos números redondos na idade é cheia de significados nesta nossa cultura decimal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vou abrir um blog novo, agora destinado ao trabalho. Este vai ficar reservado para a - pouca e irregular - atualização da vida em geral. Muita viagem ainda pela frente no ano de 2009. E muita mudança no ano de 2010. Será que um dia sossega - quer dizer, antes da morte? Assim, como disse o Anand, mais tempo para ver os amigos e engajar-se em longas conversas moles pelo fim de semana? Sei não...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foi uma semana onde realisamos um trabalho incrível: educação, educação, educação. Conto mais quando sossegar...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não vou resistir e vou colocar a foto da minha equipa de trabalho desta semana, com jornadas diárias das 7 às 21 horas.

A foto traz sorriso de dever cumprido pois foi tirada já no último dia do trabalho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/ShkuSGEN46I/AAAAAAAAAs8/LMubWVSJc1A/s1600-h/trio+ternura.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 283px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/ShkuSGEN46I/AAAAAAAAAs8/LMubWVSJc1A/s320/trio+ternura.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5339349721625256866" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Até.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-4866141395301008565?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/4866141395301008565/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=4866141395301008565&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/4866141395301008565'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/4866141395301008565'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2009/05/maio-esvaneceu-se.html' title='maio esvaneceu-se'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/ShkuSGEN46I/AAAAAAAAAs8/LMubWVSJc1A/s72-c/trio+ternura.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-8431698598860715751</id><published>2009-04-25T12:21:00.009+03:00</published><updated>2009-04-25T13:06:28.548+03:00</updated><title type='text'>a perfect day to write a report</title><content type='html'>It seems that the South Africa's election results are consolidated now. I feel good about the ANC having "fallen short" of the 2/3 majority in Parliament. I get scared every time a party has so great majority, because then any crazy changes in the Constitution - made so so progressive in times of dreaming democracy - can take place, decided by "representatives" of the "people".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course, my beloved country Brazil has managed to overcome such problem (the ruling party not having a 2/3 majority) buying votes (PARLIAMENTARIANS!!) with public money, but in South Africa this practice is not so well accepted yet, since the parties are sort of enemies, and floor crossing is not well regarded.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's such a rainy day, that it is not bad that I have to spend my whole day writing a report. Although report writing is a very brain enlightening activity, it is not very healthy - sitting in front of the computer for hours.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I read today on the news that the worst of the "global downturn" is over. Funny. I always had the impression that the whole big crisis was mostly an excuse to sack as many people as possible from formal job posts, inflating the unemployed people's numbers, to have salaries brought down, before hiring those people again, or at least some of them, as soon as they're needed again. With public money subsidizing it all. As my granny used to say, if you have to steal something, do not go for a bread, go for a huge fraud. No, it's not true, my granny does not know what a fraud is, do you granny?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And Mom turning 70 next Sunday!!! Unbelievable! A picture of her new TV show. It's a weekly show, and she recorded her Workers' Day special last Tuesday, about the intellectual workers. It will air next Saturday, May 1.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/SfLagxJBjpI/AAAAAAAAAs0/E038eze_CE0/s1600-h/Marilia+programa+1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/SfLagxJBjpI/AAAAAAAAAs0/E038eze_CE0/s320/Marilia+programa+1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328561565614575250" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-8431698598860715751?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/8431698598860715751/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=8431698598860715751&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/8431698598860715751'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/8431698598860715751'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2009/04/perfect-day-to-write-report.html' title='a perfect day to write a report'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/SfLagxJBjpI/AAAAAAAAAs0/E038eze_CE0/s72-c/Marilia+programa+1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-990436868180158321</id><published>2009-04-16T13:26:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2009-04-16T14:12:01.788+03:00</updated><title type='text'>winter, elections and philosophy</title><content type='html'>The weather has changed in Cape Town. Since yesterday, Autumn started showing its face, with a cool wind sweeping the False Bay. Today the sky is no longer blue and the mountains are barely visible on the other side of the bay. The view from where I write remains the same amazing view that delighted me often when I wrote my Master's dissertation back in 2004-05. I have mixed feelings in respect to South Africa and Cape Town. It's indeed beautiful, one of the most beautiful places in the world, or at least of the places I've visited. But South Africa resembles so much my native country Brazil in all its inequalities, violence, macho and conservative regulations that I have this mixed feelings about preferring my own country's social illnesses. Not sure though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I realized that when I went to the old University of Cape Town this week, to discuss the possibility of engaging myself in a doctorate program, and found myself saying that "no", I was not intending to take the step towards being a citizen of South Africa. After all, why not?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thinking that has so much to do with reflecting on what democracy truly is. Democracy - the rule by the people - can end up not being FOR the people, in the social concept of what people are. My rights end up when yours start. Everybody's rights. Social &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;versus &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; individual rights.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All this conversation about rights is a complicated one. I'm tackling this issue just now, while I write my evaluation report for Oxfam, a wonderful organization, whose values I can share: a fairer world; end of poverty and injustice; human rights.&lt;br /&gt;South Africans will vote in national elections on the 22nd of April, the day Pedro Álvaro Cabral is said to have arrived and "discovered" Brazil, as such, 509 years ago. The Portuguese influenced a lot of the culture here in Africa as well. Angola, Guiné Bissau, Mozambique, and for some time many other natural harbors, such as Zanzibar and the Cape itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;South Africans will elect Jacob Zuma on the 22nd. I do not know what South Africans think about it, but I find it a real waste of money to hold elections if the results are so certain and known. I guess the country needs a certain separation between the State and the ruling party to make it worthy to hold elections. The same applies in Mozambique, Tanzania and ... well, many other places. THE party controls everything (or tries hard to control everything): the judiciary, the electoral commission, the press, the tax authorities, the trade unions, the women's movement, the youth whatever name one gives it. In South Africa, it's not so much the case, but it's getting more and more the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, philosophically speaking, yes, of course, we must have regular elections. YES. What does that mean though? Amartya Sen proposes development as CHOICE. Without a choice, what are we voting for? What sort of human rights can one hold when there are no choices? One world, a global world, whose world?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-990436868180158321?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/990436868180158321/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=990436868180158321&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/990436868180158321'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/990436868180158321'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2009/04/winter-elections-and-philosophy.html' title='winter, elections and philosophy'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-395212931549295310</id><published>2009-03-23T13:42:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2009-03-23T13:54:48.298+03:00</updated><title type='text'>14 anos em África</title><content type='html'>&lt;a style="font-weight: bold;

 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;E quem diria que são 14 anos de África! Mas é uma ilusão, com certeza. É como dizer “tantos” anos de Brasil, depois de ter morado apenas em alguns estados brasileiros. Ainda tanta coisa a descobrir.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Os países aqui são todos meio bebês, quase todos definidos na famosa Conferência de Berlim em 1884-1885 (sim! Durou meses!), que ficou conhecida como a Conferência em que se fez o “scramble for Africa”. Quem convidou foi um gajo muito esperto, o Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, da Alemanha, ele mesmo não muito &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;interessado em colônias na África. Reuniram-se 14 países europeus mais os Estados Unidos e negociaram ali mesmo, entre champagne e caviar, como é que iam dividir a África entre eles.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Estas fronteiras divididas em Berlim pelos europeus são as (mais ou menos) fronteiras atuais. Pode-se imaginar a confusão. Tribos inimigas ficando obrigadas a prestar obediência ao mesmo poder colonial enquanto famílias ficavam divididas e separadas legalmente por fronteiras.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;É engraçado que depois nas décadas de 60 a 80, quando quase todos os países conseguiram a sua independência, resolveu-se não questionar aquelas fronteiras, assim mantendo a confusão. Na verdade, os governos depois da independência mudaram muito pouco as estruturas e instituições coloniais, com algumas exceções. As prisões e a violência do Estado, a burocracia da papelada interminável, a peruca nos Parlamentares do Quênia, a toga dos juízes, e por aí vai, tudo herdado e mantido dos tempos coloniais. Quando alguns locais ousam dizer que era melhor nos tempos coloniais, eu entendo que eles querem dizer isso mesmo: pelo menos era de verdade. A violência. A burocracia. A pose. Agora, tudo brincadeirinha. War lords e não uma ideologia do Estado. Confusão.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Mas então. Vim pela primeira vez em Março de 1995. Maputo, Moçambique. Não tinha idéia de onde era. Tinha visto no mapa, sem tempo de pesquisar, ainda não havia internet. Chegada no aeroporto. Ainda muitos helicópteros e tanques como carcaças mortas ao longo da pista de pouso e decolagem (eles dizem “descolagem”). O acordo de paz tinha sido assinado em 1992, depois de uma guerra sangrenta, uma das mais cruéis do mundo, que durou mais ou menos 12 anos, dependendo de onde a pessoa estivesse.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Moçambique é hoje minha casa, mas sofro. Quanta coisa superaram mas ainda tanta coisa por fazer! Enquanto o próprio Ministro da Educação manda os filhos estudarem na Inglaterra, o Ministro da Saúde trata a família na África do Sul, a população tem que se contentar com um serviço que melhora aqui e piora ali. Mas nem vale a pena esta conversa, é complicado demais, a pessoa tem que viver uns tempos por aqui. Mas no Brasil, como é que é? O Ministro da Saúde opera o coração nos Estados Unidos? O Ministro da Educação manda os filhos pra Harvard?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;São 14 anos e quase no fim da história, porque no próximo ano só estaremos na África no curto prazo, por razão de algum trabalho meu, ou porque usaremos a base de Cape Town. Mas parece que a vida está fazendo uma curva em direção à França, com cara de longo-prazo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Este ano, para celebrar esta espécie de pré-retirada, trabalho como louca. Muitos feedbacks positivos, muito carinho, muitas perspectivas. Aqui em Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, gosto de ouvir estes muitos passarinhos a me contar histórias na janela, enquanto reclamo da internet sempre ruim. Amo relaxar na piscina, sempre morna, enquanto reclamo da falta de energia elétrica. Adoro a cervejinha em frente à praia, enquanto me lambuzo de repelente contra os mosquitos transmissores da malária. Assim são os muitos lugares do mundo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Lembro agora de uma cantiga da umbanda, que me dá alegria de viver da mala entre aeroportos:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;“Exu fez uma casa, de 7 portas e 7 janelas&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Exu fez uma casa de 7 portas e 7 janleas.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Exu não precisa de casa&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;Pomba-gira é que mora nela.”&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;E Caetano...&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;“Terra!

It's a long story. The roads have been "repaired" recently but anyone who wants to see can see: the repairs are cosmetic and the whole thing is simply useless. I promise to post some pictures here, although my internet does not work any more in that region since last week. The "new" roads will come down the drain built along the houses.

Sorry, my friend Bartholomeus Grill, you must be great as well, at least considering all the prizes you have won, but you know how few opportunities I had to read your articles, mainly written for the German speaking audience (pity!).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, Robert Fisk returned to Afghanistan after a 5-year absence. One &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/fisk/robert-fisk-once-more-fear-stalks-the-streets-of-kandahar-1026330.html"&gt;must read him&lt;/a&gt;. He says in the end of the article:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Barack Obama wants to send 7,000 more American troops to this disaster zone. Does he have the slightest idea what is going on in Afghanistan? For if he did, he would send 7,000 doctors."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afghanistan has come to haunt me in the last 2 years, through different books, articles, talks (the one other place that did it to me: Rwanda). It IS an amazing place. One of the books I'd suggest is Christina Lamb's (herself a good journalist) "The sewing circle of Herat".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember the day of the NATO invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. We used to live here in Tanzania, before we moved to South Africa. That day, I had breakfast with my friend Nazrin, a person who knows much about people's suffering. I remember we wondered how could Bush's American government be so quick in bombing a country to revenge the attack to the towers in New York. The discourse was that bin-Laden was the culprit of the attack in NY and he was hiding in Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talking about him, Mr bin-Laden. I had heard about him some months before the 09/11 when "coincidentally" he was put on Time Magazine's cover, as one of the biggest world dangers. In Afghanistan, the Taliban was becoming out of control, more and more criticism to US relations with a government that ran public executions on a daily basis was mounting up. Taliban's activities close to the border of Tajikistan was making Russia nervous. A coalition of the willing was already set-up when the towers in NY went down. It seems that an attack was already ready to be launched in October that year. I found a quote of Tony Blair's saying that:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To be truthful about it, there was no way we could have got the  public consent to have suddenly launched a campaign on Afghanistan but for what happened on September 11."  July 17, 2002&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And now, I see the news on the &lt;a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/"&gt;Independent&lt;/a&gt;: girls being punished more regularly for going to school in Kandahar, everywhere. The Taliban is back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As my friend Álvaro says, Karzai, the mayor of Kabul, has not enough power - even to call a meeting with the Taliban's leaders. The latter call the shots.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Robert Fisk recommends 7,000 doctors instead of 7,000 troops. Will Mr president elect Obama listen?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For more voices on sending more care and less violence, you must read &lt;a href="http://www.threecupsoftea.com/2008/09/12/illume-mag-climbing/"&gt;"Three Cups of Tea"&lt;/a&gt;, by Greg Mortenson.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-6538776726027217259?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/6538776726027217259/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=6538776726027217259&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/6538776726027217259'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/6538776726027217259'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2008/11/afghanistan.html' title='Afghanistan'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-7284887144141679211</id><published>2008-11-18T16:00:00.005+03:00</published><updated>2008-11-18T16:16:33.268+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Prioridades políticas brasileiras</title><content type='html'>O Anand disse que é mal, estúpido, e eu acredito.

Assim, o BM e o FMI se retiraram do país para &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;puni-los &lt;/span&gt;e 3 anos mais tarde o Malawi está se dando super bem em termos de produção agrícola, exatamente dando subsídios pros agricultores. Os países da região visitando pra ver como é, etc etc. Imagina, receitar não dar subsídio pra agricultura num lugar onde os "agricultores" não tem nem uma vaquinha, um boizinho, uma mula. É demais, vai ser ruim de receita assim lá longe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu estou morrendo de vontade de ir a Rwanda, por exemplo, já há alguns meses quando eu li vários livros seguidos sobre a região. O país saiu daquele massacre absurdo do famoso genocídio de 1994 (o primeiro genocídio foi em 1959, e foi seguido de vários outros), e agora é modelo na região. É o único parlamento no mundo que tem mais mulheres do que homens, 44 de 80. Mudou de língua de ensino de Francês pro Inglês - como segunda língua, porque a primeira é Kinyarwanda -, que as crianças aprendem já no terceiro ano primário. O papel da França durante o genocídio é uma verdadeira vergonha para o planeta, apoiando os &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;genocidaires&lt;/span&gt;. Tá cheio de novidades boas em Kigali, a capital de Rwanda. Kigali ganhou o prêmio UN-Habitat pela limpeza da cidade, sem plástico, lixo e baixa criminalidade! Além disso, eles vivem ganhando outros prêmios nisso e naquilo, é impressionante, um paizinho daquele, e que povo sofrido!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na bela África do Sul, continua o circo. Depois do partido ANC ter "retirado do mercado"(como fala em português "recall"?) o presidente do país e colocado lá um outro enquanto o mr. Zuma se prepara para ser eleito, tem várias divisões internas no tal partido do famoso Madiba (Mandela). Parece que para evitar mais divisões vão apressar as eleições pra ganharem logo...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ixe, e o Zimbabwe que continua na mesma, mesmíssima coisa. É só olhar as notícias velhas que tudo bem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E um ex-ministro aqui da Tanzania, pego com a mão na massa com um milhão de dólares que não podia explicar, disse que aquilo eram "migalhas"!!!!! Qual terá sido a mensagem de sua excelência?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E a rainha da Inglaterra, pobrezinha, que perdeu 47 milhões de (dólares? libras?) xxxx em Outubro, com a "crise" financeira... ops, disse que não ia falar nisso!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;etc etc&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-2121307625552477539?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/2121307625552477539/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=2121307625552477539&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/2121307625552477539'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/2121307625552477539'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2008/10/um-ms-depois-o-que-mudou-mesmo.html' title='um mês depois - o que mudou MESMO?'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-4077545894246718803</id><published>2008-09-23T11:04:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2008-09-27T19:30:57.725+03:00</updated><title type='text'>SPRING!!!!!</title><content type='html'>As far as I remember my school times, the Spring starts today, at least officially. We have here in the hotel lobby a lit map showing the daily sunny/dark zones of the Earth, on a &lt;a href="http://science.nasa.gov/Realtime/rocket_sci/orbmech/mercator.html"&gt;Mercator&lt;/a&gt; projection, and today the lines are straight up. In winter or summer, for the non conversant with this topic, the lines show as parabolas: lots of shade in one hemisphere and lots of sun in the other.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have just checked Wikipedia for that and the English version says that Spring in the south goes from September 1 to November 30!  The guys do not know it: Wiki's a democratic and participatory encyclopedia! The version in Portuguese, however, shows the culturally defined Spring (&lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primavera"&gt;primavera&lt;/a&gt;) to be in the southern hemisphere from September 23 to December 21.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here in Maputo this is very clear. Yesterday, socks and jacket and shoes and today 36 degrees C! I remember that in Dar es Salaam the water in the swimming pool was in one day cool and in the following day the summer soup temperature again. There is no seeing the tree buds slowly coming out. No. They literally burst open.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The major news is the shake (??) of capitalism (who really believes the right guys/things/ companies will be covered by the bailout? Even the US congressmen are openly saying they do not want the CEO of the broken companies walking out richer than ever. And usually they're all friends), represented by the adrenaline high in Wall Street. We've got friends whose daughter is a financial broker over there and get end of the year bonuses with 6 figures. And she's less than 30 years of age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other news: there was a coup in South Africa and nobody is calling it so. How can the party remove the president AND choose another person? I even cannot find on the net who's supposed to be the Constitutional successor! The Parliament's spokes-person? I'm open-mouthed. So the people elect the party and then the "party" does whatever it thinks it's ok. That was all I found, in a quick research: "a&lt;span class="article_body"&gt;ccording to the South African Constitution, Parliament elects the president from among its members, dominated by the ANC since 1994". So, there we go. The party elects the president. Actually, in elections one does not vote on candidates, the people vote on the party, and the party chooses the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And still in another news: the inflation rate in Zimbabwe, according to the latest estimates, reached the 123 zeros after any figures that keep changing anyway. Of course, transactions with money are simply not physically feasible anymore. A friend showed me a bill of 50 billion Zim dollars, and said that on that day (about three weeks ago) it could buy a bread loaf or a newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And what are the leaders doing? Discussing how many ministries each party of the "deal" - ZANU and MDC - will "have". Yes, HAVE. People around here and there HAVE government ministries - very much as in Brazil, really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Mozambique, people working in education know for quite a while that many (most?) children can not read and write and count and calculate after primary schooling (5 years). It seems that some weeks ago a TV channel showed those schooled children "not reading" - not being able to read - simple texts. The power of TV! The Government acted as it was a great revelation, meaning, it acted with great precipitation and great visibility. And all the others watch speechless or deliberately mute.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Brazil, well, I have no idea, I know the same as you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the other hand, watching BBC on TV  is like watching only a police documentary: killings and killings and of course the US quick enrichment tricksters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had a little break in work today, to change my mind from one assignment to the other. Weekend was working throughout. &lt;span class="article_body"&gt;I have to work now.

This is because in my most most most cynical days - which fortunately occur quite rarely - I say that the poverty reduction policies that very poor governments are supposed to subscribe to to get some debt relief from IMF / World Bank is more like... well... let us let the poor die fast that the "poverty" will reduce. I actually don't say that - although I have said it - anymore because it is too trash, but I confess that I think it - as I said, in my most cynical days.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And then I read this week Mail &amp;amp; Guardian and there the &lt;a href="http://www.mg.co.za/article/2008-08-16-zulu-king-takes-the-cake"&gt;following story&lt;/a&gt;: "  Zwelithini laments poverty of his people at lavish birthday bash". Zeelithini for the ones who do not know him (I did not know it before I &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodwill_Zwelithini"&gt;wikied &lt;/a&gt;him, blessed ignorance!) is the reigning king of the Zulu nation in South Africa, under the Traditional Leadership clause of that country's constitution.  I mean, ok, Mandela is also a son of a king, and so on and so forth. My problem is NOT with his kingship - although I'm definitely NOT a royalist -, but with his very touching way of being concerned with the poor while drinking champagne.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You must read it. A little piece is: "&lt;span class="article_body"&gt; Zwelithini also called for greater attention to be paid to the economic plight of the Zulu nation. 'I am humbled by the way you respect me, but my people are hungry. I'm leading a dying nation. People starve because the money is not being used properly', said Zwelithini".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There we go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-7059443786779919882?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/7059443786779919882/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=7059443786779919882&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/7059443786779919882'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/7059443786779919882'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2008/08/zulu.html' title='Zulu'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-4115835132177917074</id><published>2008-08-12T10:14:00.003+03:00</published><updated>2008-08-14T14:48:20.597+03:00</updated><title type='text'>o mundo de novo</title><content type='html'>Em Dar es Salaam, abandono o blog. Com este calor, não dá vontade de nada, e ainda não é um calor terrivelmente suficiente para queimar as reservas mundiais de combustível fóssil ligando o ar condicionado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sim, a Tanzania usa muitas estações de geração de eletricidade através de óleo diesel. Dá medo de acender a luz e aumentar uns graus na temperatura do pólo norte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E os jogos olímpicos a concentrar muita atençao do mundo, mas no pacote de acesso a canais de TV aqui em csa não tem um só canal que transmite os jogos. É ridículo. Teríamos que fazer um upgrade e pagar mais 30 dólares pro mês. Ainda estamos pensando no assunto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E guerra. É inconcebível, é ridículo, é cruel e mesmo assim não é surpreendente que Georgia e Rússia se ataquem sem pensar e sem avisar a população que de repente tem mísseis explodindo no seu quarto, na sua cozinha no meio do almoço. Uma semana de guerra e cerca de 4 mil mortos! Sem palavras. Para entender bem a questão, o ideal é visitar a &lt;a href="http://www.aljazeera.com/english"&gt;Al Jazeera&lt;/a&gt;, meu jornalismo preferido (em inglês somente).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Minha internet está ridiculamente ruim. Conecta e desconecta todo o tempo. Mesmo agora enquanto escrevo ela está me avisando que não pode salvar este texto, cuidado, etc. Uma meleca, sorry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nosso carro também está doente. Na verdade, eu hoje também estou doente, desde ontem. Vou sair agora para um teste de malária, muita dor de cabeça, uma febrinha, e dor no corpo. vixe!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fora isso, a África do Sul continua amando Jacob Zuma, as pessoas em Darfur continuam a ser estupradas e mortas e sequestradas - especialmente as crianças, para lutar. As guerras por aqui usam muito as crianças que, raptadas, não tem o que fazer mas obedecer aos adultos para poder sobreviver e comer. Isto inclui serem os primeiros a atacar quando há ataques armados. A explicação é que as crianças ainda não têm valores morais desenvolvidos e daí matam sem problemas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No Zimbabwe (que bom que não nos aceitaram!) continua a palhaçada das negociações para fazer um governo de coligação entre sua excelência que não quer desgrudar do trono e a outra sua excelência que está a ver algumas perspectivas de poder. Não é uma solução decente. A União Africana está mediando esta conversa, mas para mim não tem conversa. Tem que fazer eleições de novo, e tem que parar de matar as pessoas antes das eleições para meter medo nelas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;enfim.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-4115835132177917074?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/4115835132177917074/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=4115835132177917074&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/4115835132177917074'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/4115835132177917074'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2008/08/o-mundo-de-novo.html' title='o mundo de novo'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-2767951951717297219</id><published>2008-07-29T14:52:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2008-07-29T15:05:41.357+03:00</updated><title type='text'>fim de semana em Amsterdam</title><content type='html'>Upa, upa! Fim de semana em Amsterdam! Nada mal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estou aqui ainda na Alemanha, depois daquelas 3 semanas de fazer nada na &lt;a href="http://www.beyond.fr/villages/pertuis.html"&gt;França&lt;/a&gt;. Daí resolvi passar o fim de semana sozinha em Amsterdam (minha amiga, na casa de quem eu estou, foi viajar com o namorado para outras paragens). Foi ótimo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Andei andei andei. Visitei uns museus diferentes, onde não havia ainda ido (visitei Amsterdam pela primeira e última vez, penso, em 1993 ou 1994). Andei bastante de ônibus e de metrô de superfície - os trams. É baratinho andar de transporte público, eu achei. Aqui em Bonn custa 2,30 euros qualquer andadinha de mais de 4 estações. Lá em Amsterdam você pode andar por 1 hora com os mesmos 1,90 (na zona do centro, que é bastante grande já). Eu comprei um bilhete para 15 horas por 6,20! Justíssimo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sim, sim, fiz tudo o que deveria fazer em &lt;a href="http://www.amsterdamtourist.nl/en/visiting"&gt;Amsterdam&lt;/a&gt;, mas não vou ficar dando canja aqui. Claro que visitei o famoso Red Light District, assim como milhares de velhinhos e casais fingindo que aquele monte de lojas de sex toys eram a coisa mais normal do mundo!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando chegar em Dar - depois de amanhã - vou baixar as fotos e postar algo aqui.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E Feliz Aniversário minha avó! 91 anos de idade!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-2767951951717297219?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/2767951951717297219/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=2767951951717297219&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/2767951951717297219'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/2767951951717297219'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2008/07/fim-de-semana-em-amsterdam.html' title='fim de semana em Amsterdam'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-7387814258980776305</id><published>2008-07-05T14:24:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2008-07-05T14:28:55.131+03:00</updated><title type='text'>alive</title><content type='html'>traveling a lot...on the way from Johannesburg in South Africa to Frankfurt in Germany to Pertuis in France.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Few good news on the news.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-7387814258980776305?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/7387814258980776305/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=7387814258980776305&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/7387814258980776305'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/7387814258980776305'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2008/07/alive.html' title='alive'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-8448382277924174015</id><published>2008-06-11T10:11:00.005+03:00</published><updated>2008-06-11T11:17:26.309+03:00</updated><title type='text'>polícia?</title><content type='html'>Manchete da &lt;a href="http://www.folha.uol.com.br/"&gt;Folha &lt;/a&gt;de hoje: polícia do Rio matou 358 pessoas no primeiro trimestre do ano. Nos meus momentos mais cínicos, eu dizia que a política de redução da pobreza de alguns governos é reduzir os pobres, matando-os mais rapidamente de fome e violência institucionalizada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como se faz para evitar o cinismo em relação às políticas públicas (and, for that matter, to the public opinion)?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Segundo o &lt;a href="http://www.iraqbodycount.org/database/"&gt;site &lt;/a&gt;que conta não-oficialmente os mortos no Iraque (porque oficialmente ninguém conta) , no primeiro trimestre de 2008 houve cerca de 2.700 mortos em todo o país. Assim, um cálculo rápido nos diz que somente a polícia - um organismo chamado de &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;segurança do cidadão  &lt;/span&gt;-, somente a polícia de uma cidade brasileira matou cerca de 13% do número total de mortos num país massacrado pela guerra, guerrilha, ataques suicidas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The issue of statistics is a tricky one. Todos sabemos como é possível ver o copo cheio ou o copo vazio, dependendo de como se tratam os números.  Há vários exemplos recentes, mas um é interessantíssimo de acompanhar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vocês TODOS devem saber como a AIDS e o HIV determinaram a existência de fundos internacionais de "combate" a esta "ameaça". Alguns de vocês devem saber que houve um barulho MUITO grande das correntes dominantes quando o presidente Mbeki da África do Sul, disse que a &lt;a href="http://hivskeptic.wordpress.com/"&gt;causa da AIDS é a pobreza&lt;/a&gt;, e não só o vírus HIV. Foi atacado de todos os lados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muita água já rolou debaixo da ponte desta história, que é muito comprida para contar aqui, mas o facto é que há cerca de 2-3 anos começou-se a construir um novo discurso - nada novo para os brasileiros de mais de 40 anos de idade -, de que a "verdadeira" causa das muitas doenças é a má-nutrição (really?), e que era preciso atacar as causas (?) desta, e que a causa desta é (guess what) a falta de comida e que a falta de comida é porque a produtividade é baixa e - tcham, tcham, tcham! - PORTANTO, precisamos de uma revolução verde liderada pelas corporações multinacionais que se engajam tanto no nosso &lt;a href="http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2008/05/monsanto200805"&gt;bem-estar&lt;/a&gt;, tais como a &lt;a href="http://www.organicconsumers.org/monlink.cfm"&gt;Monsanto&lt;/a&gt;, a &lt;a href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2465/is_2_31/ai_71634862"&gt;Cargill&lt;/a&gt;, a &lt;a href="http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/344277_diacetyl21.html"&gt;Unilever&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma série de dados discursivos estão a nos ser apresentados, mas precisamos ter OLHOS PARA VER. Nesta semana, por exemplo, veio às manchetes o "fato" de que o número de novos casos de infecção pelo HIV foi "superestimado" (again, really?) nos heterossexuais (?), e que de "fato", o número é mais baixo, e que portanto, provavelmente, reduziremos os fundos para o "combate" à doença etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Já desde o ano passado começou a diminuir o dinheiro internacional para HIV/AIDS (os fundos dos laboratórios para a "busca" de uma vacina não reduziram), e começaram a aumentar os fundos para (surpresa!) a agricultura, e as culturas geneticamente modificadas (GM), como solução para a fome (desta vez, o presidente Mbeki entrou de cara no apoio ao GM).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ah, mas que interessante! Ontem recebi o &lt;a href="http://econ.worldbank.org/WBSITE/EXTERNAL/EXTDEC/EXTRESEARCH/EXTWDRS/EXTWDR2008/0,,menuPK:2795178%7EpagePK:64167702%7EpiPK:64167676%7EtheSitePK:2795143,00.html"&gt;novo relatório do Banco Mundial&lt;/a&gt; para o desenvolvimento 2008.

Simbabwe auf Deutsch. Zimbábue em português.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este era o país para o qual nos iríamos mudar, não a Tanzania. Aceitamos a posição em Dezembro de 2006. Contrato em Fevereiro de 2007. Esperando uma permissão de entrada até Setembro de 2007. Decisão de mudar para a Tanzania no mesmo mês. Permissão negada em Novembro de 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quando aceitamos o posto lá, sabíamos que a situação era difícil. Mas sabíamos que haveria eleições em Março de 2008, mais uma vez. Pensamos:  uma ótima oportunidade para viver um momento tão importante do país, mais uma possibilidade de mudança, apesar da pouca esperança.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Não pudemos fazer parte daquele momento. Que está acontecendo agora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O &lt;a href="http://www.sergiosakall.com.br/africano/materia_zimbabue.html"&gt;Zimbabwe &lt;/a&gt;sempre me fascinou. Apesar de tão mal falado entre "nós",  ocidentais, e apesar de tão fragilizado por uma economia que nem sei se tem remédio (só os que viveram inflação astronômica acreditam que dá pra superar - o que é o meu caso, apesar dos traumas do tempo do nosso Collor / Zélia como-é-mesmo-o-nome-dela?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Uma população com boa escolaridade, grandes intelectuais, uma tradição antiquíssima de poder. Boas experiências alternativas na área da preservação do meio ambiente.  Um discurso de legalidade. Sempre me impressionou que toda a repressão da oposição política tem um ar de legalidade.  De fato, mudar as leis era fácil, se o Parlamento era quase todo do partido no poder.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eleições no último sábado. Um receio grande de violência, depois da &lt;a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/portugueseafrica/news/story/2008/03/080317_kenyaviolencelv.shtml"&gt;promoção do ódio&lt;/a&gt; pós-eleições no Quênia. Na verdade, a situação é incrivelmente tranquila até agora, segundo todas as fontes. Somente isso deve ser contado MUITO em favor do Zimbabwe. Até agora.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ainda há receio e expectativa. Só foram anunciados os resultados em relação ao Parlamento, e estes dão a vitória à oposição, pela primeira vez na história. Os resultados para a presidência estão ainda no ar. Segundo os analistas, há muitas conversas a portas fechadas com os militares e a polícia - que já disseram várias vezes no passado que nunca iriam se submeter a um Governo que não fosse o Governo deles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tudo isso dito, fica a minha admiração pela população, que se comporta sem violência. Pelo Governo, que até agora está controlando a violência oficial do Estado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isso dito também, fica o meu pessimismo usual com a possibilidade de um governo não corrupto. A rede de compra e venda de "favores" globalizou-se demais e é quase impossível escapar. Parece que Tsvangirai não é exatamente um &lt;a href="http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_qa5391/is_200705/ai_n21288051?tag=rel.res1"&gt;primor da democracia&lt;/a&gt; quando se trata da própria casa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mas Morgan Tsvangirai vem da tradição dos sindicatos. Nosso Lula zimbabweano.&lt;br /&gt;............................................&lt;br /&gt;Chove em Dar. Brasil em dois dias.

Gillani, empossado pelo sr. Musharaf, que não foi eleito, mas deu o golpe. O sr. Gillani é do partido da Benazir Bhutto, que morreu assassinada por um homem bomba há poucos meses, e que viveu no exílio uns bons anos antes de decidir voltar pro Paquistão num momento delicado, mesmo sabendo que poderia ser assassinada. Lá se foi virar mártir. Deu na eleição do Gillani.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;é a dengue no Rio de Janeiro, que cada vez que eu penso que eu vivo no terceiro mundo eu lembro que eu nasci e tenho todos os meus filhos e parentes num dos países mais injustos do mundo. Sim, vem melhorando, mesmo. Posso ver nas estatísticas. Mas para melhorar aquela injustiça toda, precisa muita melhoria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;é que ainda tem mais de 50% da população (segundo uma destas pesquisas de opinião americanas, como todas - suspeita) americana achando que a guerra no Iraque tinha que ter rolado mesmo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;é o absurdo dos filmes que passam nos barcos que fazem o trajeto Dar es Salaam-Zanzibar. Sangue e sangue. Tiros, violência, tortura. E eu reclamando todas as vezes. Mas se um dos filmes tiver um beijo na boca? OH escândalo. Olha, eu admiro e respeito a cultura, mas isso é demais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;é o friozinho na barriga de visitar o Brasil daqui a duas semanas. Reencontrar meus amores.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;é um dos meus amigos, que eu sempre amei, a me mandar umas coisas estranhíssimas, cheias de Deus é perdão dos pecados e quetais. Fico de boca aberta. me pergunto: que pecados??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;é saber que no Quênia, no meio daquela matança toda, e promoção do ódio pelos dois candidatos - agora dividindo o poder - à presidencia, os parlamentares - símbolo da democracia - ganham em média 8000 dólares por mês, coitadinhos. Parece o nosso brasilzinho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;é coqueiro dançando aqui na minha janela. e o mar turquesa. e as cores extravagantérrimas das mulheres. e outras extravagantes de preto, tudo preto, só os olhos me olham com o prazer de se saberem protegidas e defendidas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;é a manga, todas as manhãs. Bem que Osho, de todas as frutas, preferia a manga. que delírio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;é a definição do Émerson, o dono dos mais exclusivos hotéis em Zanzibar e criador dos festivais de cinema, de música e agora da Ópera de Zanzibar. Com Tharab, a música local. Émerson disse, e eu concordo:&lt;br /&gt;sou um otimista local e um pessimista global. na verdade ele disse "I'm a micro optimist and a macro pessimist".&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-1658743780891811739?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/1658743780891811739/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=1658743780891811739&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/1658743780891811739'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/1658743780891811739'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2008/03/deixa-eu-ver.html' title='deixa eu ver...'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/R-kV1rdFm4I/AAAAAAAAAOU/yOE6yfn7lJM/s72-c/grupo+tete.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-2404062147555289196</id><published>2008-02-26T14:37:00.002+03:00</published><updated>2008-02-26T14:43:37.354+03:00</updated><title type='text'>settling</title><content type='html'>Since the house now became so so nice that we do not want to leave anymore... well, life's back to normal and I have to travel tomorrow for 3 weeks...

Even then, that's pretty much late in the year already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I have been blog-away for a while, more than a month. This happens in phases when I have enough of computer writing as my main job-related task. No will remains to come back and write something.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, I checked the statistics of viewers to this blog in the last three months, and only 12 visits were registered.  Of course, once one visits and there is nothing new, one gives up.  Even me, as our landlord says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's a good address to check internet statistics, &lt;a href="http://www.alexa.com"&gt;alexa&lt;/a&gt;. I was having fun finding out this and that about internet surfers' habits. See, for instance, how many people visited Anand's site recently. His site is the &lt;span class="descBold"&gt;3&lt;span class="c49d"&gt;,7&lt;/span&gt;9&lt;span class="c163"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;1,233&lt;span class="c646"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="cb79"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; rd in the internet ranking viewing! Google is the 18,674th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The main news is that our house is nearly ready for enjoyment. Peter's hanging the last pictures today, and I got a shelf for my office. And we're making bread and cakes, and tonight eating out - prawns til you die - , of course hoping the restaurant does not mean it literally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;High in the ranking of good news is our recent visit to Zanzibar to the &lt;a href="http://www.zanzibar.net/zanzibar/sauti_za_busara/"&gt;Bi-annual Music Festival.&lt;/a&gt; We did have a lot of fun while there. The major negative point of going to Zanzibar is the trip by boat. Which could be really nice if it were not by the violent, bloody, ridiculously loud films they insist in broadcasting on the internal TV circuit, with no chance for passengers to escape. I've already asked, and then begged, and petitioned - many times, in many trips, mind you - for something more suitable for a 2 hour-trip between a place considered to be the "paradise"and the "harbour of peace", Dar es Salaam. On the boat, many people who are shocked with a woman in bikini, but who find dripping blood and torture quite ok. It's beyond me to understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had to go to Mozambique quickly last week, and now am working quite a lot, preparing for the next trip, in 10 days. Peter's preparing for Germany (brrrrrrrrr, pretty cold over there just now).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Around us, Kenyans are still suffering the result of a tribe-and-hatred-based elections' campaign propaganda, which produced much loss and many refugees. One cannot start telling this story without having to have some chamomile tea before - to keep the heart rate down. In Mozambique, while I was there, the "youth" - I don't know yet what was behind it - caused havoc, burning buses, tyres and breaking and robbing shops, allegedly because of the bus ticket price increase (if one can call a "chapa" a bus). Last week the riots were spreading to other cities, but it does not look so bad. Some dead people, the same as, say, one day visit of the police to any favela in Rio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In South Africa, the power cuts continue to make headlines, and by now our timers in the house must be all crazy, switching the lights on during the day and going off in the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Tanzania, the Prime Minister was sacked and the whole Cabinet disbanded. Fight against corruption. The minister for public works was reinstated. huh?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ippmedia.com/ipp/guardian/2008/02/16/108499.html"&gt;Mr. Bush is supposed to arrive tonight&lt;/a&gt;, for a "good will" visit. We saw a nice banner today. "His Excellency, Mr. Bush, welcome to Tanzania. We cherish Good Governance." Is it to scare him?

I arrived yesterday and had my first sip of the news during breakfast this morning, and that was enough to cheer me up. (Am I becoming cynical, goodness? No, please...)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The headline reads Mphanda Nkuwa avanca em 2009, meaning the Mphanda Nkuwa progresses in 2009. Mphanda Nkuwa is the name of a prospective dam to be built on the Zambezi River, in the province of Tete.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the &lt;a href="http://www.irn.org/programs/mphanda/"&gt;International Rivers Network&lt;/a&gt; (IRN) website, more than 30 large dams have already been constructed throughout the Zambezi basin. Now, the Mozambican government is proposing to build the Mphanda Nkuwa Dam 60km downstream from the Cahora Bassa Dam. It is seems that it will "progress in 2009", whatever that means.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According the IRN, the dam would produce as much as 1,300MW of electricity while the newspaper says 1,500. The IRN says the cost of the dam will be $2 billion while the newspaper says 1.6. The proposed dam is a priority infrastructure project under the New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD), which is promoting Mphanda Nkuwa for increased supply of the regional electricity grid, primarily for industrial supply.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brazilians are present through the Camargo Correia company, which has a very interesting history of involvement with dam construction during the military dictatorship (see &lt;a href="http://72.14.205.104/search?q=cache:L2X-nohKD2EJ:www.social.org.br/denuncias_1.htm+%22camargo+correia%22+corrupcao&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ct=clnk&amp;amp;cd=7"&gt;casos de denuncia&lt;/a&gt;) in Brazil.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Besides environmental concerns, there seem to be great economic risks. If the Mozambican government finds it difficult to secure buyers for Mphanda Nkuwa’s electricity, it is unclear who will foot the bill. The worst–case scenario could be the same fate as Cahora Bassa: selling the dam’s hydroelectricity to South Africa’s utility, Eskom, at below cost because there is not enough local demand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Another pearl found during the same breakfast reading was the caption of a picture of the demonstrations in Myanmar: "military personnel advising people to remain at home". Advising???&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;And a reader's letter tittled "Abduction of minors must be discouraged". It is about the need to "discourage" the selling of children in Maputo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="left"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I could go on and on, but I have to work!

Nem acreditei! Eu tinha ido visitar uns amigos que eu não via desde 2003, dos tempos da Tanzania. Eles têm dois filhos, e às vezes íamos juntos para a praia - a South Beach - em Dar es Salaam. Voltei quase meia noite, andando devagar, curtindo a noite morna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Rio Spree fica num antigo vale glacial, quer dizer, foi criado quando as geleiras derreteram depois da última era glacial há cerca de 10.000 anos. Um povo criativo, os berlinenses cercaram uma parte do rio para fazer uma piscina pública. Aqui na foto, o cais Leste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2a/Spreebad_kl.jpg/288px-Spreebad_kl.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/2a/Spreebad_kl.jpg/288px-Spreebad_kl.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Daí, pronto, ontem amanheceu chovendo canivetes (ou em inglês, cachorros e gatos - as in "it´s raining cats and dogs!), mas de tarde abriu o maior sol de novo. E frio de Outono! As folhas amarelando e avermelhando aqui também.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fui visitar um lugar me dado como dica por umas brasileiras que eu encontrei aqui no hotel. Tem um mooonte de brasileiros aqui no &lt;a href="http://www.hotel-berlin.de/default-en.html"&gt;Hotel Berlin&lt;/a&gt;. É uma loja de departamentos chamada KaDeWe (fala-se cadevê), mas a coisa não era a minha praia. Uma loja de produtos de marca, 7 andares de luxo, um horror! Dior, Bulgari, Yves Saint Laurent e todo o resto. Coisas em liquidação, coisinhas, tipo meias, por 50 euros (cerca de 130 reais). Havia muitos brasileiros lá também.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;À noite fui encontrar uma outra amiga também dos tempos da Tanzania. Ela trabalha para o ministério do exterior. Fomos a um japonês e ficamos entre conversa fiada e sushis entre 5 e 10 da noite!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje, além do trabalho - tenho trabalhado cerca de 4 horas por dia aqui no hotel -, vou tentar ir a uma exposição do Salvador Dali. Se voces quiserem ver um pouco das obras dele, visitem a&lt;a href="http://www.daligallery.com/"&gt; galeria.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-5190838223476226420?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/5190838223476226420/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=5190838223476226420&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/5190838223476226420'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/5190838223476226420'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2007/09/dia-de-sol-em-berlin_19.html' title='Dia de sol em Berlin'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-3301340114578456118</id><published>2007-09-14T11:38:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2007-09-14T11:58:54.575+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Outono em Bonn</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Dias como o de hoje fazem a vida em &lt;a href="http://www.bonn.de/index.html?lang=e"&gt;Bonn &lt;/a&gt;quase um paraíso. Está perfeito. 17 graus, sol, e as folhas das árvores começando a amarelar e a chover nas ruas e parques, numa chuva dourada que vai continuar até todas as árvores ficarem sem folhas lá pro fim de Novembro. É uma mudança incrível para os meus olhos tropicais, para quem mudanças de estações são uma espécie de fé na ciência, com pouca experiência real. Miuta gente fazendo jogging ao longo do rio Reno. O tempo certo para andar de bicicleta, assim, solta, pelos últimos momentos, até a próxima oportunidade.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foi tão bom não ter carro por quase 3 anos! Além do bom sentimento ecológico, nossas pernas estão muito mais felizes também.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Últimos dias - mais uma vez - como residente por aqui. No domingo, viagem a &lt;a href="http://www.berlin.de/english/"&gt;Berlin&lt;/a&gt;, ver amigos e administração de embaixada. Saio no dia 26, para trabalhar em &lt;a href="http://www.mozambique.mz/"&gt;Moçambique&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apesar de eu não ter querido vir por somente estas três semanas, valeu a pena. É bom estar junto do meu amado por um tempinho, mesmo que seja nesta correria. E profissionalmente foi bom também. Neste momento, trabalho com a &lt;a href="http://www.inwent.org/index.en.shtml"&gt;InWEnt&lt;/a&gt; e com a &lt;a href="http://www.gtz.de/en/weltweit/afrika/mosambik/7655.htm"&gt;GTZ Educação&lt;/a&gt;. Sou responsável pela parte do "participatory planning and monitoring".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoje é aniversário da minha amada irmã Kate. Kate, happy birthday to you, meine liebe!!!! Kate é irlandesa de nascimento, dinamarquesa de nacionalidade, e mora neste momento em &lt;a href="http://www.visituganda.com/"&gt;Uganda&lt;/a&gt; - a terra dos gorilas das montanhas, e o berço do Rio Nilo. Nos conhecemos na Tanzania e nosso carinho só cresceu de lá para cá.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-3301340114578456118?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/3301340114578456118/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=3301340114578456118&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/3301340114578456118'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/3301340114578456118'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2007/09/outono-em-bonn.html' title='Outono em Bonn'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-6470877070801625136</id><published>2007-09-09T21:28:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2007-09-11T12:19:27.451+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Preparação para a Tanzania</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Espero que os amigos no Brasil tenham usado a chance para pensar no significado da independência. Isto porque filosoficamente falando prefiro o espírito ancestral africano da interdependência (&lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(ideologia)"&gt;Ubuntu&lt;/a&gt;), que tem mais a ver com os &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partido_Verde_(Brasil)"&gt;verdes &lt;/a&gt;e os não nacionalistas. Mas este espírito africano quase já acabou, porque a pressão para "globalizar" é grande. E a &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/GlobalizaÃ§Ã£o"&gt;globalização &lt;/a&gt;começa pelas coisas mais importantes para o desenvolvimento humano: cola-cola, o telefone celular, muitos canais na TV, comunidades virtuais - não que qualquer outro país possa bater o Brasil nesta coisa orkutiana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanzania"&gt;Tanzania&lt;/a&gt;, este país para onde vamos em Outubro, ficou "independente" em 1961, em um dos poucos movimentos pela independência em África sem banhos de sangue. Mais tarde teve um banho de sangue na ilha de &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zanzibar"&gt;Zanzibar&lt;/a&gt;, in 1964, quando os "africanos" tomaram o poder dos "árabes" (para mim, todas as nacionalidades deveriam vir assim entre aspas, porque afinal o que significa esta coisa aleatória de ter nascido aqui ou ali, ou assim ou assado?) que dominavam a ilha desde que a ilha era parte do sultanato de &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oman"&gt;Oman&lt;/a&gt;, no Golfo Pérsico.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A parte do continente que forma a Tanzania era chamada Tanganyika e quando juntou com Zanzibar ficou tudo conhecido como Tanzania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na verdade, a situação ainda é meio estranha. Existe a constituição da União e de cada parte do país. E tem o presidente da Tanzania mas também tem o presidente de Zanzibar. Enfim...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A língua &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/KiSwahili"&gt;kiSwahili &lt;/a&gt;tem sua expressão mais original em Zanzibar. Foi de lá que a língua se espalhou pelo continente (hoje cerca de 50 milhões de pessoas falam Swahili em vários países). A expansão foi mais rápida quando a ocupação colonial alemã adotou o kiSwahili como a língua da administração colonial e portanto também para educar os nativos que trabalhariam na burocracia do regime.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O primeiro presidente depois da independência, &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Nyerere"&gt;Julius Nyerere&lt;/a&gt;, traduziu duas obras de Shakespeare para o kiSwahili, O Mercador de Veneza e César. Na verdade, o espertinho traduziu como "o capitalista de Veneza"...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Tanzania tem coisas que muitos de vocês devem conhecer. O Monte &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kilimanjaro"&gt;Kilimanjaro&lt;/a&gt;, reservas naturais incríveis, como Selous e Serengetti, tem o Rio Rufiji, por onde Livingstone &lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;adentrou &lt;/span&gt;o continente para "descobrir" montes de coisas, e botar nomes europeus nas coisas africanas, como a Victoria Falls - em homenagem à rainha Vitória da Inglaterra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Este &lt;a href="http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Livingstone"&gt;Livingstone &lt;/a&gt;- um missionário - (David) merece um capítulo à parte. O cara foi um pioneiro da "catequização" no continente e cunhou o conceito dos três Cs: cristianismo, comércio e civilização. Deu no que deu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por hoje é só.

This is a mixed feeling-post because I want to give you all some words on what is going on and do not know: in English? Em português?. Eu quero contar um pouco do que tem acontecido. Julho foi um mês incrível, com muita emoção lá no Brasil, ver toda a família e a vó Nair fazendo 90 anos e todo aquele monte de gente bonita! July was a very sentimental month for I visited Brazil and the whole family. Although it was extremely cold - really cold, one would not believe it! – we had a lot of fun and real emotions running loose in my granny´s birthday. After all, it is not every day that a person turns 90 so healthy!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="PT"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="PT"&gt;Peter and I packed our stuff in Bonn on the 30th of June. We filled up a 20-feet container, expecting to move to Zimbabwe on the 18th of July, as stated in Peter´s contract. However... things have been a bit different from the plans, and we´re still in the limbo, waiting for a Zim permit, which is not likely to come. The latest news? Well, we´ll have to wait a bit more and ... by next week we´ll know. That will be September. So, for 2 months now we´ve been living out of the suitcase. I mean ... I have been doing so, because Peter stays in Bonn with some boxes, pots, books, plates and cutlery, things that by now must have grown somehow.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="PT"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="PT"&gt;So... after a 10 day successful job in Johannesburg – cold, very cold -&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;here I am in Fish Hoek – still in the cold, I´m actually tired of it now, freezing all the time... -, enjoying the view: whales and the dark rainy bay. Rainy, quite so. And lots of things to do in the house: we´ve got an array of workmen here: telecom guys, plumbers, electricians, painters, locker smiths, and other variety of professionals. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="PT"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="PT"&gt;Anand my son arrived about 12 days ago, and is settling well, although he´s also getting tired of the cold too. There is hope that September will bring a milder weather to the Cape. He´s gonna stay for 6 months and are looking forward to enjoying the famous Cape summertime.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="PT"&gt;&lt;!--[if !supportEmptyParas]--&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p  class="MsoNormal" style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;span style="" lang="PT"&gt;I write while the plumbers break the floor of the house´s entrance. Trying to finish all this week because on Sunday I´ll fly back to old Europe and stay some weeks in Germany with my beloved man before knowing which country is gonna be our next destination.

O Governo propôs uma Lei que controla as comunicações e obriga os provedores de Internet, por exemplo, a instalar tais sistemas de "monitoria" e propõe a criação de um grupo de controle do cidadão. Mas como em outras Leis que o Governo preparou, ainda não foi proposta ao Parlamento.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isto significa que é uma tática do Governo. O Governo faz uma lei tenebrosa, todos sabem que se a Lei for proposta no Parlamento ela vai ser aprovada, porque o Parlamento tem maioria do partido no poder, e assim o país nem precisa aprovar a Lei que fica todo mundo caladinho e a auto-censura vai aumentando cada vez mais.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Há duas outras leis neste mesmo caminho, escritas, mas não propostas ainda, as duas aterrorizadoras. Uma diz que todas as minerações vão ser nacionalizadas em 51%, para Zimbabweanos. A outra diz a mesma coisa para bancos, e outras empresas. Então fica todo mundo assim bonzinho para não irritar o Governo, para o Governo não fazer leis cada vez mais hostis à vida por lá.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A situação não é nada boa, e estamos felizes que, seja como for, nossa estadia por lá será apenas até Dezembro de 2009, o que não é muita coisa. É uma vergonha pensar num país em que as pessoas vivem esta situação, mas comparado com outros países em situação calamitosa MESMO, o Zimbabwe ainda é um paraíso. Compare por exemplo com o Sudão, o Congo, Somália. Eritréia, ou mesmo o Mali, Guiné Bissau ou Libéria. Tem um monte de mau exemplos!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A inflação está nos 4000%, é verdade, mas nestas alturas ninguém mais sabe o preço de nada, porque quando chega neste nível os preços não fazem mais sentido. Um cafezinho pode custar  a mesma coisa que um vestido por exemplo. É o caos econômico. Mas o Brasil sobreviveu à inflação, por que não o Zimbabwe?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E o desemprego é de 80%, oficialmente. Sim, mas este é apenas o emprego formal, porque o que é um emprego afinal? Quantas pessoas têm emprego formal no Brasil? Com carteira assinada etc e tal? E mesmo quem tem emprego por lá, a inflação come o salário diariamente. Tá todo mundo na pior.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;E como existe toda esta campanha internacional contra o Zimbabwe, mais a terrível e incompetente administração, mais a ditadura cada vez mais militar, ninguém investe por lá, quer dizer, são poucas as empresas que ainda vêem uma oportunidade para o futuro. Assim, eles não têm dólares ou moedas fortes para comprar coisas que o país não tem, como petróleo por exemplo. Por isso, a maior batalha é conseguir gasolina ou diesel ou querosene ou gás. Cozinhar vai ser divertido. Solar?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Também não tem eletricidade, porque a maior parte da eletricidade deles vinha de termoelétricas a carvão, e não há mais dinheiro para carvão. Enfim, uma *%#"**%!!.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Os estrangeiros vivendo por lá vão se virando, porque têm dólares, piscinas, quadras de tênis e queijo francês, e os chefões do país vivem MUITO bem, obrigada. Muitos estão envolvidos, diz-se, na compra de gasolina no preço oficial subsidiado e venda no mercado paralelo, ganhando em torno de 1000 % de lucro. Bom negócio! Quem se f***** é sempre o povão, oprimido e a passar dificuldades.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eles também criaram uma milícia paranóica, chamada Bombardeadores Verdes (Green Bombers). É um serviço militar obrigatório para os jovens. Eles vão lá e tem um processo de lavagem cerebral (e aparentemente um sofrimento físico também, incluindo algum treino de machismo e estupro das meninas - não é generalizado, mas parece que é comum), e aprendem a odiar os brancos e os membros do partido da oposição que estariam "implantando o terror e tentando derrubar o estado".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Na semana passada, 6 pessoas foram presas alegadamente tentando um golpe de estado. A sentença para quem faz isto (treason) é a pena de morte.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vamos ver.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-8808866384271933373?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/8808866384271933373/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=8808866384271933373&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/8808866384271933373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/8808866384271933373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2007/06/mais-zimbabwe.html' title='Mais Zimbabwe'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-2201444807111988951</id><published>2007-06-07T12:42:00.001+03:00</published><updated>2007-06-07T12:49:19.272+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Zimbabwe</title><content type='html'>Just now, two days of preparation for Zimbabwe.

A so called popular bank, by the way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What did your day look like?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-8088973738369239492?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/8088973738369239492/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=8088973738369239492&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/8088973738369239492'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/8088973738369239492'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2007/05/mozambique.html' title='Mozambique'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-5863271668676278531</id><published>2007-04-22T17:50:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2007-04-22T17:54:32.273+03:00</updated><title type='text'>Sunday</title><content type='html'>French elections' day and the winner will be seven years in office!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4709849722601672196-5863271668676278531?l=valeriasalles.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/feeds/5863271668676278531/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=4709849722601672196&amp;postID=5863271668676278531&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/5863271668676278531'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4709849722601672196/posts/default/5863271668676278531'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://valeriasalles.blogspot.com/2007/04/sunday.html' title='Sunday'/><author><name>Valeria Salles</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16796004434947178327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4709849722601672196.post-8834956458462852567</id><published>2007-04-21T18:07:00.000+03:00</published><updated>2007-04-21T18:15:09.428+03:00</updated><title type='text'>All so quick!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp3.blogger.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/RioqG4_cv_I/AAAAAAAAAIQ/SXWiwqOcmag/s1600-h/Elsies+Peak+04.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_UcR9C-YRi4E/RioqG4_cv_I/AAAAAAAAAIQ/SXWiwqOcmag/s320/Elsies+Peak+04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5055899829542895602" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've spent the last days in Cape Town, South Africa and I'm now in Maputo, Mozambique.  I don't think this is much healthy, crossing continents in such a quick way. Of course, my environmental footprints went up really bad with those flights, but what can one do? Living in Germany with a job in Southern Africa?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cape Town was sunny and beautiful. Maputo is warm. Lots of work ahead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The view is from Elsie's Peak, in Fish Hoek, Cape Town. That was the day we saw a HUGE yellow and black snake crossing the path... and I went out of breath and paralyzed.

Agora que a Heike comprou um teatro, está trampando que nem louca. O show é muito bom. Tem uns apresentadores, dois, que são bem engraçados. Tem mágicos, dançarinos de rap, tipo robô, tem trapezista, uma gostosona chamada Andrea que faz um número super lindo no meio de uns panos pendurados no teto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Voltamos ontem. Hoje estou aqui no trampo, preparando as coisas pro workshop que começa amanhã. Em uma semana, viagem para Cape Town. Nossa, quanto tempo! Desde Dezembro! De lá, para Moçambique até Maio. E assim vai...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Notícias do Zimbabwe são más, nada animadoras. Mas ainda tem tempo, vamos ver.

Davi, the READER, became Davi, the prospect ECONOMIST. Yes, he's got a place at the University - UNESP -, and we are all very happy for him. He also started working (slightly), teaching English on Saturdays. According to him, now he's a complete man: he's got a purpose, a job, a house and a partner.

Vários projetos interessantes ao mesmo tempo, e eu numa correria para poder ver como encaixar as coisas junto com a nossa mudança para o Zimbábue em julho.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;O Zimbábue está mal. Um conjunto de grupos da oposição ao governo do Robert Mugabe (que está no poder desde 1981 e ele já tem 83 anos de idade e quer concorrer de novo - significa ganhar - às eleições agora em 2008) resolveu fazer o que eles chamaram de "prece coletiva" no domingo passado num estádio em Harare. Como as reuniões políticas estão proibidas, eles tentaram esta tática de "prece coletiva".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foi duramente reprimida, e mais de 100 pessoas foram presas, incluindo o líder da oposição, que foi fisicamente torturado na prisão. O chefe de projetos da Fundação que o Peter vai dirigir foi preso também.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A situação está ficando mais difícil por lá.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Talvez também haja mudanças nas datas. Talvez o Peter já tenha que assumir o escritório no meio de julho, e não no fim, por causa de outras mudanças aqui no escritório na Alemanha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eu mantenho meus planos de vir ao Brasil. Provavelmente para a segunda metade de julho, talvez chegando um pouco antes.
