Melbourne, “Truly English it looks as yet, at first sight at any rate.” Arriving from London, John Martineau reaches in November 1866 the city of Melbourne after a 3-month journey on board of a sailing ship. “After a long, wearisome voyage, the first impression is almost one of disappointment at having come so far only… Read more …

A dangerous and failed landing in Cuzco, a closed airport in Arequipa: welcome to Tacna
From a distance, Tacna could be called a border town. Close to the Chilean border, there is little escaping the sand of the coastal desert of Peru that surrounds the city. The city is clearly the economic center of the region and home to a significant mining industry. Using its last breath, the Caplina River… Read more …

De week van Bert: de wereld is een schouwtoneel
Het radionieuws. Nieuwe versoepelingen, lang leve de vrijheid. Tussen de opgang van de taliban en festivals met meer dan 75.000 bezoekers is er kort aandacht voor de Corona cijfers.

This entry could be really short, or said differently, my (ad)venture turned out to be very short. After getting up at 5:30 in the morning and a lonely trip to Brussels, I reported to the front desk around 8:30am (just in time for my appointment).

Aquí
Los árboles que dibujan la frontera del camino esconden el pasado griz ya no más pronunciado. Aquí la historia luchó contra el olvido del libro escolar. Aquí el pasado lucha contra la historia hasta perder la esperanza del futuro. Aquí testigos medievales pasean por las ciudades eternas. Aquí la libertad se aplasta bajo los pilares…

La Originalidad
“No concebimos el perfeccionamiento social como un producto de la uniformidad de todos los individuos, sino como la combinación armónica de originalidades incesantemente multiplicadas. Todos los enemigos de la diferenciación vienen a serlo del progreso; es natural, por ende, que consideren la originalidad como un defecto imperdonable.
