Albania, a country full of Bunkers

Enver Hoxha ruled Albania from 1944 – 1985, and during the 1960, he built many bunkers for the “survival” of Albanians in case the country was ever invaded.  To say the least, the country was never invaded, and presently about 750,000 bunkers are scattered around the country.  Bunkers are in people’s backyards, gas stations and in burial areas. 

So, what are Albanians to do about these structures?  Some people are painting them, using them as a café, taking iron to sell, and some people are even using them for eco-tourism.  Wow!

Ethiopia – It’s 2012 in 2019

The Ethiopian Calendar is different from the Gregorian Calendar and the latter is what most of the world goes by.   The Ethiopian Calendar has thirteen months in a year, while the Gregorian one has twelve months.   Currently, the year in Ethiopia is 2012.   The following links may be helpful in shedding more light on this.

Brazil – Home of the most “Uncontacted People”

I really don’t know the reason why. However, whenever I hear about an uncontacted group of people living in the forested area, my mind is always blown.  There are so many questions that run through my mind about them. Nevertheless, this is not about me. It is about Brazil, and in this country’s forested areas, there are about 100 tribes or groups of people living there.  Brazilian National Indian Foundation is responsible for their care from the outside world.    Note https://www.survivalinternational.org/tribes/uncontacted-brazil https://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-politics/brazils-funai-calls-army-to-help-protect-isolated-indigenous-tribes/
