Haitians "take over Santiago streets"
A former Migration director in Santiago, Sabas Burgos, has warned about the mass migration of Haitians entering Dominican territory illegally at a greater rate since the 12 January earthquake. Burgos told El Nacional that in the past, the authorities used to pretend that they were doing something to curb illegal migration, but now Haitians are entering and leaving freely. He said that the streets, barrios and rural areas of the province are full of...

You thirsty, Gertie'
From BretonDiary, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I’ve bought them a proper water dispenser you know!
And make sure that it’s always topped up!
But Gertie thinks she’s a human….
And makes a point of escaping from the chicken run and….
Waddling all the way up the garden to the front door.
Just so she can drink from the watering can…
Just like all humans do!

Parisian of the Month: Samantha Carter
From i prefer paris, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I met Samantha Carter at a restaurant last week and we immediately hit it off. I like her warmth and outgoing personality. Samantha is the manager of the premier Pilates and Gyrotonics exercise studio in Paris, Element. She was kind enough to invite me for a Gyrotonics session yesterday and I felt like a million bucks afterward, with my spine straightly aligned. The studio is modern and spare but the atmosphere is warm and inviting and Samantha made me feel right at home.
Where were you...

Many have been wondering what I've been up to. It seems as though the last, three-part article was a little bit much for some readers. Other readers wonder if something is wrong and that I'm relying on ?back-up, just in case' articles to fill the void.
Rest easy, dear readers: I'm fine, and all is well. I am currently taking a little vacation. As the title says, it's a ?Vacation from a Vacation.? Let...

Avoid Parent Stress while Travelling with Older Kids or Teenagers
From Tales of a polyglot traveler, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Travelling with older kids or teenagers is a particularly stressful experience. Older kids (above 7 years) or teenagers (if they do decide to come with you on a holiday) have a much more sense of individuality and hence they also want to have a say in the way the holidays should be spent. This creates a lot of parent stress as there could be differing needs of parents and children and also some other slightly smaller kids (if there is significant age difference between siblings). Following are...

Rome, Lazio, ItalyThe last two days here Kat and I have been taking a much more relaxing approach. We've spent a lot of time just sitting at major hub areas and just talking and enjoying the day. As a result there isn't a lot of interesting things to talk about, or many pictures. But, I figured it was still worth writing an entry if for nothing but reflection on the entire trip. Me being the...

From Serge the Concierge, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I always liked playing Petanque with my friends and my cousins during my many summer vacations in the Pyrenees Orientales.
I did not have much success in the tournaments.
I was a bit amused to find out that Petanque is becoming a hit with actors and models alike.
That's what Jon Henley reports in How boules got cool (Guardian, July 28) illustrated with a photo of model "Karolina Kurkova (second left) beside actors Joshua Jackson and Diane

MBAs Growing on Trees'
From The Wild Wild East Dailies, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I had an interesting experience this last year in Germany with an MBA acquaintance who was looking for a job. After a month of searching and calling she was only offered executive assistant work or possibly reception or other general staff work - and with 45,000 students and over 1500 Ph.D. candidates matriculating from LMU in Munich each year, it's no wonder that MBAs seemed to be growing on trees there. One of the world's most affordable tuition structures (EUR 500 per year) doesn't hurt...
