Tribute to Anthony Bourdain

I've just read the news that Anthony Bourdain died at the age of 61. The cause of death is suicide. 
He did this travel in Brazilian's Amazon state. Thank you Anthony Bourdain.
May you R.I.P.

Winter in Pakistan and Leading US Companies in the country

Snow fall in Valley Kalaams, Pakistan.What do you know about Pakistanis?

English and Urdu are the official languagse so it's very easy to talk to them since many start learning at a very early age.

Of course the middle class has more access to schools that teach English.

I spoke to some Pakistanis over the internet and they are very bright. Most of those I knew were under thirty years-old.

They dream about having a good job in a multinational company.

Welcome to Fucking

Fucking, pronounced "Fooking", is an Austrian village 33 kilometres north of Salzburg  with a population of 104 people.

English visitors used to steal traffic signs but in 2005 they were modified and now are set in concrete making it impossible to be removed.

Police chief Kommandant Schmidtberger said: "We will not stand for the Fucking signs being removed,"
"It may be very amusing for you British, but Fucking is simply Fucking to us. What is this big Fucking joke? It is puerile."

Local tourist guide Andreas Behmueller said it was only the British that had a fixation with Fucking.

"The Germans all want to see the Mozart house in Salzburg," he explained. "Every American seems to care only about 'The Sound of Music' (the 1965 film shot around Salzburg.) The occasional Japanese wants to see Hilter's birthplace in Braunau."

I searched for photos of the village that might be beautiful but found nothing but the signs. Only at this site I found some pictures.
