stavrinho: The curse to be rich
http://stavrinho.blogspot.com/2006/08/curse-to-be-rich.html
A blog about travelling and the environment. The curse to be rich. The distribution of resources in Brasil (land, income, minerals etc.) is ridiculously unequal. Some people talk about the following figures: 7% of the people own the 93% of the resources of the country, while 93% of the people live with the remaining 7%. I am not sure if the above figures correspond to reality, but what you can easily see if you travel in Brasil is the existance of 2 worlds:. The world of the rich people and. They drive h...

http://stavrinho.blogspot.com/2006/08/mst-bottom-up-agrarian-reform.html
A blog about travelling and the environment. MST: a bottom-up Agrarian Reform. In the beginning of our long trip in Brasil, an old black man in Bahia told us:. Tem muitos Brasis em Brasil". Meaning there are many Brasils within Brasil. After 2 months of exhausting travelling, spending more than 6.000 Km in buses and changing 10 different states, only 2 things are in common within this immense country:. Are big (better say enormous) pieces of land that belong to powerful people, the. Some 22 years ago the...

stavrinho: The MST bourgeoisie
http://stavrinho.blogspot.com/2006/08/mst-bourgeoisie.html
A blog about travelling and the environment. At the Serra Gaucha, about 1 hour north of Porto Alegre lays the assentamento of Capela. When we arrived here, we could hardly believe our eyes. Nice. Fresh-painted houses, shiny cars and natural blond children playing with new bikes. Hard to describe our shock when they brought us to the special guesthouse for MST sympathizers that visit the assentamento. Our previous experience from the poor living conditions of other ass. These conditions favoured the devel...

A blog about travelling and the environment. How difficult is to watch a game. Amsterdam, September 2005. I did order another beer, which I drunk as slowly as possible (only to see the end of the game) and never went back. Salvador de Bahia, June 2006. Even in the end, when we asked for fresh juice -since he didn´t have any- he was happy to go to a nearby cafe, order and bring 2 juices for us. How simple things can be. In Pelourinho, from Friday to Saturday we were lucky to follow "As festas de Sao Joao"...

http://stavrinho.blogspot.com/2007/03/blog-post.html
A blog about travelling and the environment. Η Πράσινη Έρημος των Ευκαλύπτων. Το δέντρο του ευκαλύπτου «έχει τις ρίζες του στην Αυστραλία, όπου πάνω από 700 είδη βρίσκουν το υγρό και ζεστό κλίμα που χρειάζονται για να αναπτυχθούν. Το 1777 κάποιος Άγγλος βοτανολόγος φέρνει για πρώτη φορά τον ευκάλυπτο στην Ευρώπη, για ανάλυση και έκθεση σε μουσεία. Κάπως έτσι ξεκινάει η παγκόσμια καριέρα του ευκαλύπτου που τα τελευταία χρόνια πρωταγωνιστεί σκηνή της Βραζιλίας. Η Βραζιλία ανακαλύπτει τον ευκάλυπτο. Με το π...
