Prestoze je Australie po USA nejvetsim znecistovatelem zivotniho prostredi na osobu, je aktivni v boji proti japonskym verlybarskym korporacim, ktere jsou bohate dotovany japonskou vladou.
V poslednich tydnech byl kolem toho docela poprask. Japonsko na natlak Australie a ostatnich zemi upustilo od lovu jednoho druhu verlyby – Humbacka ( Keporkak), dal ale pokracuje v ilegalnim loveni ostatnich druhu, jako je plejtvak maly a mysok.
Oduvodnuje to udajnymi vedeckymi ucely – a ted se podrzte – podle Japoncu je pry nutne vylovit 950 verlyb rocne na vedecke ucely. A to co po tomto „vyzkumu” zbyde – rozumej ty tuny masa – putuji na pulty obchodu, coz je vysmech. www.reflex.cz/Clanek30408.html
Ale s tim znecistovanim, soucasny novy environment minister P. Garett planuje od pristiho roku zakazat igelitky. Ja s tim souhlasim, protoze si nemyslim, ze je nutne kazdou 2$ p******u obalovat tremi vrstvami igelitu. Maji je pry nahradit platene tasky, ktere jsou recyklovatelne (treba v Coles nebo Woolworth). Diskuze na toto tema probiha i v CR – viz www.reflex.cz.
Co se moji situace tyce, ohrozen uz si nepripadam. Kdo zna druhy dil „Wang dang American slangu” „Wang dang American thang”, tak ten zacina tim jak Sidney a Fred leti z USA do Prahy zacit novy zivot. Fred ma porad obavy, ze je to jako blbost, ale Sidney ho nakonec prekeca a leti. Tady je jejich rozhovor hned po priletu:
Fred: „This is where the struggle begins, Sid”
Sidney: “I know, I feel it too. But lets think of it as a game. We both feel afraid, but lets be above the fear and consider this a game. So, what do you need in order to win this part of the game?”
Fred: “A place for my stuff”
Sidney: “And if you had no stuff?”
Fred: “A place for me to sleep”
Sidney: “Exactly Fred. Since we humas have begun thinking, our first thoughts were probably about two things: food and shelter. The third thing was sex, but not until we had a full belly and a bed. Fred, lets try to enjoy this feeling of needing food and shelter, this cave man fear. O.K., bend over a little and try to look like a primitive man, then repeat after me: “Unga, food, unga, shelter.”
Fred: “Sidney, this is not funny, we are really in deep shit, I am beginning to wish I had not listened to you, this is crazy. What the hell are we going to do ? What the hell are we doing here?”
Sidney: “First, we are going to enjoy our fear. So, do your best to look and feel like a cave man.”
Fred: “That is stupid , Sidney, how is that going to help anything?”
Sidney: ”Its fun, just try it.”
Fred: “Oh, all right, if it will make you happy, but this is stupid (he bends over). How is this ?
Sidney: “Good, now say, “Unga fooood, unga shelter”. And try to think like a primitive man”.
Fred: “Unga, food, unga, shelter”.
Sidney: “O.K., good, but try to say it more like a cave man”.
Fred and Sidney: “Unga, food, unga, shelter, unga, food, unga, shelter.”
Sidney: “Very good, Fred, but stop because there is a policeman behind you and he is looking at us like we are dangerous.”
Fred: “I told you it was stupid to act like an ape. Is he coming over here or not?”
Sidney: “No, but relax, would you? I doubt if it is illegal in this country to behave like an ape. The communists have been doing it for years. Shall we go?”
Fred: “Go? Go where?”
Jako bych mel v sobe kus Freda, ale Sidney nakonec vitezi.
Ale to je minulost. Konecne jsem vyridil visa a skolu. Behem minulych dvou tydnu jsem zaplatil skolu (1.term + depozit UNI) –1750$, pojisteni OSHC na rok –350$ + poplatek immigracnimu za prodlouzeni visa – 430$. Celkem tedy 2530$. Ale ulevilo se mi, protoze visa jsem dostal hned a do roku 2011. Tzn., ze vsechny velke vydaje jsou uz na nejakou dobu uhrazeny a do budoucna snad i neco usetrim. Dalsi vydaj bude az za 3 mesice skola, dalsi term (1250$), ale jeste mam mesic prazdniny.
Tak ted, kdyz se vratili flatmati, je nas v tom malem byte zase hafo. Jeden byl 3 tydny na Zelandu, druhy v NSW+Victorii a treti v Tasmanii. Jenom ja a posledni mate jsme zustali tady v Kensingtonu, na rohu dopravni tepny Anzac parade a Todman avenue, u benzinky, coz je vyhoda – nafouknes tam kolo.
