I definitely don't judge anyone for that, but I guess we all need to try a bit harder.<br />@Anthea: I guess Aids and Unemployment are pretty central and need a lot of attention. Actually though, South Africa gets a lot of mention in my Climate Change course, because apparently Durban has been really pioneering about Climate Change adaptation and Cape Town has designed some fairly forward-thinking townships. But I agree it's frustrating when things like recycling are so difficult...Emily, Ruby Slipper Journeyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071938485961109157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-41534954326809819082011-03-17T16:22:09.942+01:002011-03-17T16:22:09.942+01:00All of what you say is true and very scary.

For example, the nearest recycling point is very far from my house. Perhaps the government focuses on other issues like Aids, unemployment etc.Antheahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388058871319333095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-4837869042188637312011-03-17T13:14:17.721+01:002011-03-17T13:14:17.721+01:00Natural History Museum is so far my favourite one ...Natural History Museum is so far my favourite one in London, though I still need to check many out. But definitely need to see this exhibition, maybe tomorrow or in the weekend. The pictures are amazing!<br /><br />I am angry about the way Planet Earth is being treated and earthquakes and other natural disasters are only the planet itself trying to kick us out for all the devastation humans are doing. I completely agree with you on that we are not thinking too much. I am very sorry for the situation in Japan, though as we say in Portuguese we're lying in the bed we made :(<br /><br />Anyway, away from the sad subjects, you look very cute and cheery, so bright that makes me forget the grey sky outside!<br /><br />Ah and about Brick Lane, yes I did enjoyed it very much, though I think I would have liked it better if I had money to spend haha. <br />Anyway I am going to check out that charity shop that we talked about in Battersea this Sunday and also the Battersea car boot sale (that I just learned about yesterday in a blog!). I'm going with my friend but you are more than welcome to join us and your boyfriend too if he wants :)<br /><br />PS: Oh and I didn't know you had Portuguese classes! (I forgot to ask you about it last weekend), but yeah, "saudade" can be described as homesickness but your teacher was right, it's much more that that, sadness for being away but at the same time the feeling of hope to see someone or something again.Raquelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918827667257218558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-72771478270372007232011-03-17T12:02:39.990+01:002011-03-17T12:02:39.990+01:00Me encantan los museos de ciencia.

I've been thinking so much lately about how much we're doing to this earth, and how badly we're damaging it. It's scary to think about, which is probably why I try not to think about it too often (not exactly the best solution), but I think posts like this are really important!<br />Anyway, I love the museum of natural history here in new york, so I would totally love to visit this one! Also, you look so lovely. Your blouse and hat are too cute :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13238461790610178211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-9125799584503934212011-03-16T20:18:27.945+01:002011-03-16T20:18:27.945+01:00I know it does make me ponder, me boyfriend volunt...I know it does make me ponder, me boyfriend volunteered in the Thailand tsumnami a few years ago and he always berates me for not recyling so he has turned our little household into eco warriors!<br /><br />By the way whenever I log onto you bloggy (which isn't as often as i'd like due to ridiculous working hours and botched internet connections!) i always have to scroll down a few pages to see where on this earth you are haha!
