A month backpacking in Latin America ?
August 29, 2010 by admin
Filed under latin america travel
Just a vague idea i have for summer 2012/13. I plan to spend around in a month in Latin America travelling from Britain. I have a couple of places down as definite visits; The Galapagos Islands, Machu Pichu and the Angel Falls and would love to visit Venezuela, Brazil, Columbia, Peru and Ecuador.
However as this is my first trip to Latin America, I would like to know whether I’m fitting too much in and my tour would leave me exhausted and regretful having missed out of exploring the final details of the countries I’m travelling to ?
I would also like to know an around about cost of all this, it would be on a budget and I wouldn’t wish to splash out on anything grand of course.
Thanks in advance.
I recommend you narrow down your travel to just one or two of those countries.
A single country in Central America could easily fill up more than a month by itself. Visiting five large South American countries in one month is going to leave you missing out on a lot of the wonders that the countries offer — there’s much more to Ecuador than just the Galapagos, and there’s much more to Peru than just Machu Picchu.
Latin American countries can be done reasonably on a budget — they’re not as expensive as popular European destinations, for example — however, it also depends on where you go. Often times, all of these countries offer a wide range of accomodations: from basic rooms to luxury, so it shouldn’t be too hard to stay in a budget.
If I were to choose one of those countries, it would be between Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador.
Brazil is amazing, but I found the other three countries closer to my budget (but remember that Brazil also has its fair share of budget accomodations).
Venezuela is also beautiful, and I enjoyed my time there, but it’s not the best country for a first-time traveler to Latin America.
In short, choose one or two countries. Research them very well — learn about opportunities to explore the main attractions, along with the local cultures, and exploring the natural beauty as well.
News Update: Latin American Shares Drop On Worries Global Economy Is Stalling

Latin American stocks eased, with Brazil’s Bovespa falling for a fifth straight session on fears the global recovery remains on very fragile ground. In the United States, July durable goods orders rose a less-than-expected 0.3% and new home sales plunged to an all-time low in July. In Europe, Ireland saw its credit rating cut one step by Standard & Poor’s to AA-, the lowest since 1995, on concern the rising cost of supporting the country’s struggling banks will swell the budget deficit. In Mexico, the unemployment rate rose to 5.7% in July after shrinking the two previous months. Fears that the global recovery is stalling pressured commodity prices, which hurt shares of commodity producers in Latin America. The Bovespa was last down 1.31% at 64,304.19 and Mexico’s IPC down 0.77% at 31,123.23.

What would happen if I started a TV Network called W.E.T. (WHITE Entertainment Television)?
August 26, 2010 by admin
Filed under hispanic entertainment
would that be ok? Would it be allowed on the list of tv channels for cable and satellite and all the types of tv things you could watch from?
I mean, the Hispanics get to have Univision
The Blacks get B.E.T
The Asians get LA18
The Jews get the Jewish Channel
ect………………
Why cant the white race get our own tv channel? How is this fair? We cant even have our own month either! Why are white people getting discriminated like this?
The people that advocate "White Entertainment Television" are oftentimes hardcore racist conservatives that complain about what they perceive as a double-standard without considering the history and reasoning of BET’s formation in the first place. Also, considering the fact that the average American television show already contains White-majority casts, a network centred around "White entertainment" will only contain racist material broadcasted and/or suggested by people that advocate "WET." In other words, since regular television is already White majority to begin with, what do you think a possible station advocated by far-Right conservatives will broadcast? Racist far-Right material. For that reason, WET would not last long anyway because in the 21st century, racism is not tolerated by mainstream America such as during the Jim Crow days. BET, on the other hand, formed in the 80′s, which was, believe it or not, a time when Black people were rarely featured on television. Robert L. Johnson, Black billionaire, wanted to open a station that would appeal to a majority of viewers. Considering the fact that Black people were rarely featured on television, Johnson created "Black Entertainment Television" to not only feature more Blacks on TV, but to also make a profit. In comparison, why create WET for any reason other than a perceived double-standard, considering White people already tune into a majority of American TV shows in the first place and comprise the majority of cast members?
