Chinese Travelers are in the whole world today!
Digitally strolling on USAToday's site, today, 01.02.2012, I noticed that US Travel Industry couldn't be happier.
President Obama has eased visas for chinese travelers to come into US.
Chinese travelers (rich people, of course) usually spend a bunch of money wherever they go.
US site says: In New York, Chinese spent on average $3,197Templarium Ministries - Brazilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11808383480704421199noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5421858.post-61673991885945558382011-11-12T18:57:00.001-03:002012-02-01T17:04:25.388-03:00
Berlusconi resigns in Italy
Berlusconi finally goes home (or elsewhere!).
He was actually the main cause of Italy to be in troubles on the Euro Zone until today.
Money is not everything, reported my grand-mom a few days ago. Berlusconi has lot of money, but less brain year-after-year...!!!
Italy and the Euro Zone hope things gradually fit to the right place.

DALAI LAMA SAID TO BE MARXIST!
This week, at University of Minessota (USD), Dalai Lama said to 150 chinese students that "He is marxist"!
In fact, no big deal for those who actually follow Lama's steps.
He keeps being political & spiritual leader to millions all over.
He is very good at marketing himself, when needed!
Compassion & love are not actually marxist's philosophy...

Good or bad? Do not know, you do? Maybe it all depends on one's point-of-view!
Hum... anyway, grandmom used to say that every point-of-view is a unique view of just a mere point... and so, in fact, should not be taken for granted...
One way or the other, good or Templarium Ministries - Brazilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11808383480704421199noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5421858.post-1097065386807501162004-10-06T09:12:00.000-03:002004-10-06T09:45:55.893-03:00Elections in Brazil - 2004
Last October 3, 2004, we had elections all over 5.000 counties. Democracy had its way up, someone should say. Maybe yes; maybe not! How is that? Simple: one should spend about USD 400.000,00 to get to be elected in this poor country of Brazil.

Matter of fact, Fortaleza (sea city in the northeast Brazil) is flooded with tourists in July...
It seems that the whole country of Brazil plus thousand tourists from Italy, Holland, Spain, Portugal, etc., they have all decided to come to spend a "few days off" in Fortaleza. As a consequence, prices of hotels, bars, food, etc., all go up!

This week, the world was shocked by the nomination of Bush & Blair for the Nobel Peace Prize - among other candidates. Hum... there is definetly something wrong with the committee that evaluates (judges - more appropriate word) the actions of some world leaders...
