Tradesies!

For the last month or so my old Xbox video game system has been rattling around the back of my car. I tried to trade it in at a store for an Xbox 360 but somehow my Xbox’s serial number was smudged out, thus it was tainted and dubbed “un-tade-in-able.” Around the same time my roommate mike moved out, taking with him his toaster. I never realized how much I enjoyed warm bread. It’s funny how you don’t realize what you have until it’s gone. Sad.

Anyway, one of the local radio stations hosts a buy and sell show appropriately titled “Tradio.” Thus I put in my somewhat one sided trade request and now I am happy to say I am the proud owner of a toaster that is possibly from the 70’s. It’s clean and browns bread. What more could a guy want?

An eco-break at Piran Meadows, Darwin Escapes: REVIEW

Image
I’m what you may call a ‘holiday intruder’. If any family members or friends announce that they’re going away; I’ll try my best to ensure that I can go with them. So apologies if you know me and you’ve planned a cool trip that you don’t really want me to come on… I’ll probably find a way to be there I’m afraid. It’s just what I do. So, when my dad told me he was planning a week in Cornwall with my gran and great aunt, I immediately booked three days off work and decided to visit for half a week. (Which I think they were pleased about…) We got an amazing deal at Piran Meadows Resort and Spa; just £250 for a week’s stay in a luxury three-bedroom caravan. It’s the kind of place that obviously comes alive in the school holidays, with lots of kids’ activities and sun lounging opportunities! But there’s plenty to enjoy out of season too. The scenery around is absolutely breath-taking and there’s lots of activities and adventures to be had in Cornwall. The caravan park is kitted out wi...

La Chureca: Living In Garbage

Image
Toxic Fumes at La Chureca Landfill Near Lake Managua Managua, Nicaragua La Chureca is the largest garbage dump in Central America. It’s located on the outskirts of Managua, the capital city of Nicaragua and covers over 4 square miles (7 sq. km). One thousand people live & work on the “City of Trash” every day. Getting here was not easy, and traipsing through burning, rotting garbage wasn’t exactly a picnic either. But the hardest part of all was bearing witness to the way of life these people have to live. They are called Churequeros . Their homes are made of trash. They scavenge through the garbage for food. Every day they search for scraps of plastic, cans, and glass to sell for recycling. This is how they make a living. There is an elementary school located on the dump with 6 classrooms. But once kids have graduated, they don’t have many options. Most start working long hours in the landfill every day with the rest of the family. The peo...
