Merkozy ( or Sarkel, if you like ) completely lost the plot

Their latest idea is an ammendment of the EU-contract, resulting in better control of the so called GISPI - countries ( Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Irland ). I am afraid the people of these countries won´t accept further submission and the Euro runaway train stays firmly on course towards the abysm.  Happens, when you cram a lot of different cultures and
mentalities under one hat. Looking at those chiflados to the left you think Europe is in good hands ?  Me neither. Leaving for Bolivia tonight.
                            

Wish, Germany could shut up for 5 minutes

Seems to be impossible, since Germany has always to be in the middle of something. Financial crisis, dioxin scandal, a damn germ called EHEC and the ongoing Greece desaster, now temporarily replaced by right- wing terrorism. Politicians are argonizing, how to solve the problem and imo stop transfering billions of Euros to foreign countries and stop transfering competencies to Brussels would be a good start. Patriotism is the last thing on my mind, but when huge amounts of peoples money are spent for questionable purposes and sovereignty is partly handed over to eurocrats, who are not democratically elected and were sent to Brussels, because their homeland has no more use for them, some folks boil over. Germany these days is nuttier than a " Madness " - video.

Cheltenham 2012 Festival Antepost Treble

Champion Hurdle - Hurricane Fly @ 2.75 ( left )*** 3rd
David Nicholson Mares Hurdle - Quevega @ 2.50*** won
World Hurdle - Big Bucks @ 1.80*** won
All three are top-class performer and proven over course & distance. I expect them to make short work with the opposition and get on, before the odds shorten any further.

Destilled a fruit called pepino...

... for the first time. I am quite pleased with the outcome, as it  turned out to be a quality product.

Earthquake hits Peru

The shake occured in the coastal region near Ica with a magnitude of 6.9 and was felt in Cusco too. Scary stuff. Just read an interview with the Peruvian foreign minister. Made some good reading in my book, although Michael Palominos comment certainly bears some truth. I know some expats here, who run a business  and are harassed by authorities. Also most mayors seem to be kleptocrats and red tape in connection with corruption is widespread.

Need to vent more steam here

When chancellora M. and French  Pres. Sarkozy stick their heads together, German taxpayers know some more of their precious hard earned will be burnt for a country, that will not get his act together, as long it belongs to the eurozone. Thanks to a financial trick called " leverage " we are looking at a trillion  now and Germany guarantees for a large portion of it. Mind-boggling, isn´t it. German politics these days is nothing but appalling. Chancellora M. only tries to keep the financial markets happy, her finance minister Schäuble is a notorious liar, the oppositon is a complete drop out and the parliament is full with lazy dumbfucks, who voted for the euro bailout fund without knowing any details.

Few things are more entertaining,...

... than a birthday party with peruvian kids and a clown. Talking about unspoiled children, hard to find nowadays in the somewhat screwed up western society.

It is official now...

... seven billion butts are pushing and shoving on Planet Earth (don´t blame me ). Will the latest arrival has parents, which expect him to speak fluid Mandarin Chinese at the tender age of three ? Will he be born in an african refugee camp and never enjoy an halfway pleasant day in his life ? Was he born for the sole purpose, that his single mother wants to obtain some welfare money ? I will never know, why so many people keep reproducing, completely ignoring the circumstances their offspring has to live in.

Glamour twin is in town...

Mick Jagger arrived in Cusco and people are fallen over each other to get a glimpse of him. While i like some of the early " Stones " - stuff, my arousal because of his presence is confined.

The madness continues...

Actually i didn´t want to pollute my blog with another post featuring chancellora Merkel, also known as "IM Erika" ( that´s right, she was a Stasi mole, read more here ), the weather vane or Miss Energy Pirouette. But her recent annoucement to hand over more billions of peoples hard earned to banks in need winds me up. Germany a democracy ? I would rather call it a party dictatorship, whose government continues to ignore the will of the vast majorty of the people. M. demands more democracy in eastern european countries, but if a member of her own party has a deviating opinion ( not everyone in the CDU is a bootlicker ) she unleahes her bandog R. Pofalla to bring him back in line. Why she acts like that ? Simple. She is under the thumb from "Deutsche Bank" boss J. Ackermann.

Kamikase Bar closed it´s doors

An icon of Cusco's nightlife and well known among travellers from all over the world, it has ceased to operate now. One final beer and that was it.

Nice one. People take it to the streets  adressing the utter insanity inflicted by banksters and speculators. The organisation has my moral support.

Trip to Saylla, located just outside Cusco...

...and famous for a pork dish, called ¨chicharron ¨. Further down the road is Tipon, the guinea-pig capital. Hungry vegetarians should avoid this section.

Green Bay Packers to win Super Bowl XLVI

I am not a big fan of American Football, but that is secondary, if a good betting opportunity emerges. Green Bay has already won the Bowl last season making me some decent money, while the new season is well underway and the Packers are 3-0 after three games. Still there are odds of 5.6 on offer with Betfair, what will do for me.
