De sigaar

June 28, 2007

Ze zijn er weer eens in aan ‘t vliegen daar in Rio.  Het valt elke keer op hoe veel Belgische wapens er daar circuleren in de favella’s.
Opmerkelijk in de video: die PM met stofbril die aan z’n dikke Cubaanse sigaar lurkt.   Geef toe, ons Belgendlandje verdronken in het politiek correcte -we mogen begot de staartjes [...]

Megacities: the eye of the beholder

June 28, 2007

Weer zo’n halfbelegen artikel in De ; deze keer over de explosieve groei in steden.
De volkerenorganisatie rept van een “revolutie in het denken” die nodig is om deze historische ontwikkeling in goede banen te leiden. Volgens Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, baas van de VN-afdeling voor bevolkingsgroei Unfpa, moeten beleidsmakers in de wereld zich niet langer verzetten [...]

Twitter + Facebook = productivity ? como?

June 27, 2007

“I see a combination of Twitter and Facebook as having the potential to replace 90% of the email I receive while improving my personal productivity.”
Seriously people, the dynamics of Facebook or Orkut are for 90% dating driven and so will they remain.  The few business contacts I have on Facebook are heavily web2.0 connected.  The [...]

Rio in 1967

June 26, 2007

in this Roberto Carlos clip.  Amazing to recognize all the spots.  Must have been an absolute amazing city in that era -it still is of course-.

The world is changing… fast

June 26, 2007

“New economic tigers Brazil, Russia, India and China overtake U.S. in dominating global energy industry, new study says.”
“If you think about the global resource industry typically being a leader in terms of global trends, we’re starting to see this replicated in the mining industry where 20 percent of the top 20 companies are now from [...]

South & Central America

June 23, 2007

Daniele is in Nicaragua since yesterday.  I was jealous seeing her in Malpais, one of my favorite spots on earth where also Mike sets often foot.   We’ll be back there end of November.
Ine is also setting of to a spot somewhere in Latin America, probably Bolivia.  I was exactly 2 days in Bolivia and I’ll never go [...]

Brazilië: feiten

June 21, 2007

Mijn vrouw begon knipsels aan te leggen over alles wat ze in Belgische pres over Brazilië leest; ik bladerde er vandaag even doorheen; indrukwekend.

Todo dia…

June 20, 2007

Counting… I think we know enough Brasilians in Belgium by now to throw a real Brasilian party.
Jeffry: in to shake Caipirinha’s with me?

Beautiful Life

June 20, 2007

I lived 19 months in Brasil and it’s been 6 months that I’ve been back in Belgium now.
Going to Brasil was the best thing I’ve ever did; I learned speaking and understanding the most beautiful language in the world and learned seeing a kind of beauty we Belgians forgot noticing.  We lost the kind of [...]
