russia

After so many years I will be in Moscow for a few hours as i go back to Kenya. Somehow I have all these comments from Russians and most are not quite understandable. My best guess is that a russian English class used my blog as a teaching tool. But on September 22nd i will arrive in Moscow on my way to Dubai and then Nairobi. So what does an airport tell you about a country. It give you a glimpse of how the society looks at visitors. Singapore was the best and Mumbai the worst. Singapore gave to the visitor internet, butterfly sanctuary. Mumbai no Atm's and rude airport agents and Military guards. Lets see how Moscow stands up. Let me not forget Qatar where they put me in a four star hotel and fed me. It took me an hour to figure out how to flush the toilet. So i will stop at three new airports, Moscow, Dubai and Bahrain. 3 days on the move, i love it as i will see new people and adjust my attitudes with a dose of reality.

As ever i remain

The debt crisis

Wow what an experience watching the congress juggle my ssi check. But such sadness  as the callers to cspan not once touched on the salient points. I can't comprehend how the people of the usa are so opinionated and run around with blinders. The debt is 14trillion dollars. When the grand children are ready for social security the 14,000,000,000,000 will be worth about 14,000,000,000 new dollars. As at some point the value of the currency will be devalued as each 1000.00 will become 1 new dollar. or maybe worse 1,000,000 dollars to one new dollar. US citizens live in a glass bowl.In Peru they went from sole, inti, nuevo sol. The 1000 sol became 1 inti. 1,000,000 ints became one nevo sol. Thus since my first trip to Peru the money has been devalued by one billion. If the same were to happen here the national debt would be $$14,000 new dollars. I have seen the value of my money decrease 100% in one day. Americans need to understand the real world. Inflation will continue. Look at gold $35.00 troy ounce now $1650 per troy ounce an increase of 4,714 percent. So cash will destroy u. Buy land, gold, diamonds things which have a finite supply and let congress play tiddle winks.
