Text 1: 5 amazing landscapes in Chile that you’ve probably never heard of
Isla Grande de Chiloé:
Fifth-largest island of Chile.
Home to independent and seafaring people.
Bright green forests and marine fauna including blue whales, dolphins, sea lions and
sea otters.
16 wooden churches that have been declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO.
Traditional dish is Curanto, including seafood, colorful potato varieties (is the island
famous for).
Conguillío national park:
Attractions in the park include the Llaima volcano, Sierra Nevada and wild
landscapes characterized by island of vegetation surrounded by vast areas of lava
flows.
Activities to do include trekking, horseback ridings, bicycle ridings, high mountain
tours, ski, sport fishing, picnic, swimming, flora and fauna and photography.
Lago Budi:
Saltwater lagoon formed after Valdivia earthquake and tsunami.
Locals turned it into a ‘ethno-tourism’ destination where visitors can sleep in
traditional ruka homes, work hand-in-hand with local people and eat food of the locals
(Mapuche foods).
Parque Nacional Torres del Paine:
Place of lakes, rivers, waterfalls, glaciers, forests and wildlife.
Destination for hikers, ecology lovers (wildlife observers) and sportsmen.
Reputation by snow-capped mountain peaks, cascading rivers, waterfalls, glaciers
and mirrored lake.
The Elqui Valley:
The heart of pisco production in Chile.
Famous for its futuristic observations, seekers of cosmic energies, frequent UFO
sighting, poet Gabriel Mistral and quaint villages.
Puclara Dam is a 595 meters long wall, ideal for windsurfing.
Monte Grande, national monuments like Casa Escuela and Gabriela Mistral’s tomb
are things you must have seen.
Text 2: Life around Gibraltar: one line, two very different worlds
While Britain is involved in the easing itself out of the EU, Gibraltarians are criticizing
the warmongering (=oorlog zoekende) and demanding that ‘The Rock’ (area around
la línea) is left out of the equation. They want to close the border between those two.
La línea lacks industry and its hotel and services sector are dependent on Gibraltar.
The economy of Gibraltar is robust and powered by financials services and
technology. While Gibraltar thrives and fortunes are invested, La Línea is dealing with
conflictive gangs and drugs. However, they both fear the results of the Brexit.
The border was, once closed, la línea, but this had negative effects, like separation of
families and caused tensions.
Text 3: Mexico doubles downs on pivot away from U.S.
, Mexico is about to turn his back on trading with the US and Trump.
They will be talking to the EU as soon as possible (negotations).
Brazil and Argentina will be their main supplier (of corn and soy) instead of the US.
This is a win-win situations, since Argentina just got out of a recession, and is going
up slowly. And they are helping Brazil with decreasing the unemployment rate.
Mexico has always been welcome in Latin America, but they are not feeling so
welcome in North America, because Trump threatened to use tariffs against Mexican
import.
Text 4: Peru’s President says Climate-Change and flood prep is more urgent than ever
Preparing against the coming floods is more urgent than ever due to climate changes.
The last month 100 people were killed due to flooding of town and thousands of
people are homeless. President expects that the reconstruction plan will be ready in
three months’ time and may include 150,000 new homes. They need to provide
temporary housing for 15,000 people that are left homeless.
After that, Peru is going to start a three-year rebuilding program that includes
construction of thousands of earthquake-proof houses in areas less prone to flooding.
Peru also needs to invest in defense systems for the 30 rivers flowing down from the
Andes mountains.
Flooding have killed more than 100 people this year, destroyed more than 18,000
houses, 50 schools and more than 2,400 kilometers of highways.
Text 5: Pueblos Mágicos not immune to violence
Pueblos Mágicos have special features and are designated with the intention of
sending tourists their way.
Town councilors warn of growing presence of criminal gangs, increasing drugs
traffickers, and witnessing more kidnapping and extortion.
There were even found bodies of three tourists in this area, and counselors say that
such incidents are becoming coming in their part of the state.
Text 6: Residents of Latin America’s oldest city fearful of gentrification (=verbetering)
Plans for investing, renovating, installing, cleaning, repairing etc. in/of the colonial city
center.
Residents are nervous and fearful that there rent will be too high. They aren’t sure
about what will be the benefit for them, ‘it looks like there is aim to let residents leave.’
Advocates of the program say such fears are misplaced, and the government is
dedicated to creating not just economic development, but better lives for residents of
the colonial center.
Text 7: Unique meals these 8 seasoned foodies will never forget
Opinion of the eight world’s best-traveled eaters that describe each one meal that
stands out from all other they have experienced.
Stefan Chomka: In Spain, at a meal at Etxebarrie is all about the senses. Their
specialty is baby eels and ice cream you smell it before you see it. (10 courses of
sensory brilliance)
Andrew Zimmern: Dining with Samoan tribespeople on barbecue bushmeat etc. The
tribal experiences are special, singular and unique.
Amy Chen: In Spain, at a smartphone-free serendipity, ‘eat like a local’. That meal
was one of those rare time when we truly felt we achieved that without anyone first
showing the way. First it was a disaster, but the charming waiter and foie gras made
the experience.
Susan Ungaro: In the US, at a black-tie evening in Four Seasons in New York where
several of America’s best award-winning female chefs cooked up a feast.
, Phoebe Smith: In Nepal, it wasn’t the food that made the meal memorable, but the
location. She was looking out at the Himalaya stretching endlessly onwards from my
tent.
Katie Lee: In the French Caribbean, at lobster time. She agrees that memorable
meals are less about the food and more about the people.
Chris Dwyer: In the Philippines, his perfect experience was the trinity of perfect food,
atmosphere and company at Antonio’s, a beautiful colonial-style mansion not far from
the jaw-dropping lake volcano of Taal in the Philippines.
Qin Xie: In Chile, it was special, because when the owner came over to explain that
they had been only open for three days, a small earthquake struck.
Text 8: Venezuela brain drain: I miss mom, but don’t want to go back
Alejandro Nava:
He is leaving his home in Venezuela for the US, and he doesn’t plan on coming back.
He left because of the economic crisis, triggering violent crime and basic health care
and food shortage crisis.
The biggest issue was their safety. Their constant fear was to get robbed or shot,
each day again. There is no stability.
Nearly 2 million people have left the country since 1999 of the 30 million citizens.
In the past, Venezuela welcomed a lot of immigrants, but now, it is suffering from
mass emigration.
Nava is fortunate to be able to go to the US where he believes he can get a job, but
many are going wherever they can go as soon as possible.
Analiz Suarez:
She moved to Buenos Aires to escape the crisis of Venezuela and she had to leave
behind her ill mother.
She earned enough money in Venezuela, but after taxes, rent, food, savings for
medical treatment of her mother and flight to move to Argentina, she has barely
enough to get by.
She has to save money and this does this by cutting her own hair, and she stop
coloring it. She buys minimum amount of food. Watch little movies. Spend Friday
nights drinking cheap beers.
‘You have to turn off a mental switch to make yourself strong and not fall into
depression.’
Diego Hernandez:
He left Venezuela as crime skyrocketed and the economy spiraled into crisis.
He won’t go back either and moved to US and tried to get accepted at university, but
she wasn’t. Therefore, he eventually moved to Argentina.
He, together with his brother, lived in poor circumstances.
He works at a clothing shop, and at night, he studies at the University of Buenos
Aires, hoping to become a nutritionist.
He doesn’t want to go back, if Venezuela doesn’t change, even though he misses his
family a lot.
