Posted my travelstories. Working on other stories now. Independence of the Mozambiquan television. Doing research on that. Besides: enjoying the good life in Maputo. Contrasts like all the cities I´ve been in Africa. It is getting dark now and still a lot of women are selling their goods in the streets. Collecting a small income to feed their families. When I have guests in Nairobi people tend to say: ´Look at this poverty, it is so bad´ My answer always is, that on a world scale only 25 percent of the people are living a so called Western life. The other 75 percent is struggling in poverty. The difference is that you notice the contrast in Africa within 20 meters, you can see people dying in the street and others enjoying a croissant with an espresso while they check their agenda in their PDA. What is the difference between contrasts within 10 meters and within 2000 kilometers?
