week 160

 

Mon: Barter, the old way of exchanging goods between parties, still could be a way away from the current wasteful consumerism.

Tue: The rain forest hills of northern Guatemala are a very off the beaten path place to set up a profitable bed&breakfast.

Wed: Moruroa nuclear tests of the ’90s are a flagrant example of neocolonialism at its worse that compounded with the rising sea level mean doom for the atoll.

Thu: The highlands of Lesotho, above 2000 m., provide a refuge for a hard life style based on growing sorghum and raising goats.

Fri: The Buginese people of Borneo, fishing anchovies and sardines from platforms standing out in the sea at the wee hours of the night to lure them into illuminated nets, extract barely an income.
