Jared Diamond: Great Author!

Jared Diamond is an awesome author, and I really enjoyed his book 'Collapse'. I have also been reading his book 'Guns, Germs and Steel', and found it to be just as enjoyable as his last offering. It is a shame that his books are seen airport novels, and as a keen traveller, I see his stuff on offer a lot. Note: Please do not confuse Jared DIAMOND with Jared Taylor, who is an extremist author I wouldn't give the time of day to. Some people seem to have mixed up which Jared I am a fan of, and you'd better believe its Diamond and not Taylor.

African puppets song

Most of you have seen the African puppets dancing in the street viral video. Most people want to know the song in the background. You're welcome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8XnNMjAgjo&feature=relmfu

World Trade Centre being rebuilt

Good to see progress is coming along nicely on the new World Trade Center. I look forward to standing on it one day http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/september-11-attacks/9536698/Webcams-capture-two-years-of-World-Trade-Center-reconstruction.html

South Africa

I'd quite like to visit there one day. However I am concerned about the crime situation. However, at least the inhuman and immoral system of apartheid is gone. One thing I'll say about South Africa is they produce great music, such as the offering below.

This never gets old...

America: you have done the world a great service

African Food

Had African food for the first time ever in the Matonge district of Brussels last night. Little bit heavy on the lemon, but otherwise an ok meal.
