BENIN, NIGER, TOGO

Un dos dois autos de Vontkomm go no mo corectli. Lo firtet das el auto wad es bis Togo no shafen, e lo wole nach Togo. So wi mus remork en auto. Lo accelerate na front e mi breike na bak, o vise-vers. Mabon had cuereles co lo la touto temp et prefere voyag in "mai" voiture. Cantamos mucho samen, de rok a vanguard. Na fologare vecher, Mabon vole no mo dorme na mašina de Vontkomm, ela prefere dorm in "mai" mašīn. Mi fa nada, mi super timid.

One of the two cars dont work that wel enny mor. Vontkomm is afrade the car wont make it to Togo, and he wants to go to Togo. So we hav to tow one car. He accellerates in the front and i brake in the bak, or vice-versa. Mabon has been arguing with him all the time and prefers to travel in „my“ car. We sing a lot together, from rok to avangarde. In the following eevening Mabon doesnt want to sleep in Vontkomms car enny mor, so she sleeps in my car. I dont do ennything, i’m very shy.


Unser manjor get aus, wir aszen ale sardin e wir can caum encora "dush". E dat slimste: we’r running aut de cigarett, la cajis ar getting mor e mor, la daris fewer e fewer, until we hav one dari pro 19 cajis. Et dopo ta touto miser oni vit finalik a vilag, et sa ist non un mirag, sa ist a vero vilag. Bienvenid in Arlit, ta amable oasis na desert. In Arlit is pleni sardina canes, cafe, omelete, viski, cigarečių e bares.

We’r running out of food, we ate all the sardeens and we can hardly “shower” enny mor. And the worst: we’r running out of cigarettes. the cadgers ar getting mor and mor, the givers fewer and fewer, until we hav one giver for 19 cadgers. And then we see after all that misery a town, and this is not a mirage, it is a real town. Bienvenue a Arlit, cette aimable oase dans le désert. In Arlit thare is plenty of sardeen cans, coffee, omlett, wisky, cigaretts and bars.


Dopo tu viagou par blanco muslimare landes, is a relifio chegar in a negro muslimare land, Niger. Es is oso muslimar, mas is ben otre pople. Dat is oso a mega diferense tüshen american amishe pople e gaga jamaikis - meme si ali cristis sünd - e ai a mega diferense tüshen blanco muslimi landes e negro muslimi landes. OK, some capitales in blanco landes is relativli liberal, ma na sude de Nord Africa yu see no femas, solo clothes. Elas regardent a travers a mini hole na vel, as observi tu vit rien. Oi dia mi laik arabiano musik, speciali rai, la pop de Maghreb, ma mi laicou nad in akel temp, mi dejaba depresal. Arlit is bene más, a város co 10 000 lakossal, ma co több éjszakai élettel ke Manchester e Seattle samen, ami signifi no sokat, ma da idee. La bares ficam openee la todo noite, la fola rompe, la femas hit la manes co garrafas e al is super divertid. Es gibt pleni bir, e kidos bringe nu la ganze zeit meso spiszos. Wi sent as God in Africa. Al is so simple, e mi start injoyi Bob Marley, yu heer no something else around hir.

After yu hav traveld throu wite islamic cuntrys, it is a releef to arive in a blak islamic cuntry, Niger. It is stil islamic, but it is a compleetly difrent peeple. Thare is an enormus difrence between american amish peeple and crazy jamaicans - eeven if all ar cristians - and thare is an enormus difrence between wite moslem and blak moslem cuntries. OK, some cappital cities ar relativly libral, but in the south of North Africa yu dont see wimmen, just clothes. They look throu a little hole in the vale, as observer yu cant see a thing. Nowadays i like arabic music, especialy ‘rai’, the Maghreb pop, but i didnt like it at all at that time, it made me depressd. Arlit is quite difrent, a town with 10,000 inhabbitants but mor nite life than Manchester and Seattle together, wich doesnt meen much but givs yu an idea. The bars ar open the whole nite, the mob romps, wimmen hit men on thare heds with bottles and evrything is quite funny. Thares plenty of beer and little boys come around all the time with meet skewers. We feel like God in Africa. Evrything is so simple, and i begin enjoying Bob Marley, yu dont heer something else around heer.


Sa prova ke religion ha mino relacion co son creati ke co la tradiciones du pople ki adopta les. La nigeris is devoto muslimis, mas encora pensa ke oni shal injoi la vid. Na Coranot is no nаpishаnо ke nie shal no. La femas is bene legal de se olhar, e la carapinho her, ke perturb a pouco el estetica pro main olho, is cobree bai a cabessa scarf. So sist du solo la belo fases, e elas geben el imprecion de rainhait e frömmigkeit. Si Maria, la mama de Jesus, wer negro, den ela seeg ut as la femas hir.

This just proves that religion has less to do with its creator than with the traditions of the peeple who adopted it. The nigeriens ar devout moslems, stil they think we should enjoy life. It is not written in the Koran that we shouldnt. Wimmen look quite nice, and the curly hare, wich disturbs a bit the esthetics in my eyes, ar coverd by a hedscarf. So yu just see the butiful faces, and they giv an impression of purity and piety. If Mary, Jesus' mother, wer blak, then she lookd like the wimmen heer.


La girls in nashe convoi is no too prude co their sanitare nesesitis. Na desert elas simpli pissait ou elas etait, pro elas etait non importante si 10 personis etaient around, ou si elas pissait exactlik ou oni voulait fa nashe picnik. Había ke tomar cuidado. Issa in Arlit elas kisbux non aktar prud. Elas demanda triz amigi faz a murin, meme si is na sentro da centrale plas. Manchmal is no triz amig around, solo aini. Bon, den diss amigi mus fa la mur alon, en en-man-mur.

The girls in our convoy arnt too prudish with thare sanitary necessities. In the desert they just pissd ware they wer, they didnt care if 10 peeple stood around or if they pissd exactly ware we wanted to prepare our picnic. Yu had to be careful. Now in Arlit they didnt get mor prudish. They ask 3 frends to make a small wall, eeven if it is in the middle of la central square. Sometimes thare arnt 3 frends around, thares only one. Wel, then that one has to make the wall alone, a one-man wall.


Pocapoco we lase la desert. Mi go paseja na bush co Mabon. Mi demanda si ela nunca pensó na risco ke ela tak, bai paseja na foresta con a brasilo. Dat can bi periclare, mi sei. „Reali?“, ela pergunt, „e o ke la brasilos faze co meninas ki go paseja co los na forest?" Caca, nau wer mi dran, ma mi so shoi. Na noite wi beid is in el auto, el auto is wider awei af el anner autos, ali dorme. Mi have to sei it agen: „Et tu ist no preocupee, can tu dorme con a brasilo na same voiture?“ „Tengo el imprecion ke la brasilos is bene nescadal“. No, man, dat is for mye! La sitor rykes is nede uansett, mi snur mot ela og uten sei en ord mi starte tak of hennes naiti, dat take for longo temp e mi rip dat of. Agora solo resta rages in su corp, mi peg ela de tras e penetra ela. Ela can caum respir. Eer rounde corpo beevt sub mai wod e mai ranee stolt. Dat is com it canau hav bi. Com it reali was, yu ja sa: mi ha fini mai cigarett e dormei.

Graddualy we leev the desert. I go for a walk in the bush with Mabon. I ask her if she never thaut about le risk she’s taking, going for a walk in the bush with a brazilian man. That could be dangerus“, i say. „Realy?“, she asks, „and wat do brazilian men do wen they walk with girls in the bush?“. Shit, it would be my turn now, but i’m so shy. In the nite we’r both in the car, the car is further away from the other cars, evrybody is sleeping. I hav to say it again: „And dont yu get worried, sleeping in the same car with a brazilian?“ „I’v got the impression that brazilians ar quite harmless“. No, man, thats too much! The seet baks ar down ennyway, i turn to her and without saying a word i start taking her nity off, it’s taking too much time and i rip it off. Only tatters of it stay on her skin, i take her from behind and penetrate her. She can hardly breeth. Her rounded body trembles under my rage and my injurd pride. Thats how it could hav been. How it realy was, yu alredy know: i finnishd smoking my cigarett and got asleep.


Nosotros paramos in varios pueblos e injoi la nigeriano hospitalidee. La problem is la kidis: em vez lerne "mama" as la primeira vord na vida, lis lerne 'cadeau' (franciano pro 'present'), e wen lis seet a convoi cam, lis starte to shrin la word freneticli.

We stop at sevral villages and enjoy the nigerien hospitality. The problem ar the kids: insted of lerning to say ‘mama’ as the first word in thare lives, they lern ‘cadeau’ (french for present), and wen they see a convoy coming, they start shouting the word freneticly.


In Niamey, la capitale, we hav a break e continuh to la beniniano fronter. Na frontera la fonccionaris volet vi nashe colera vaccinacion certificat. El interesale is ke ese bando de alemanis e suizis no ha lo, mientras la brasilo hir tien un. Ali shal go bak to Niamey e să-și ia unu. Is solo some centenas kilometros. Mi blaibe na grenz e guk a bisschen como la leben hir so is. Mi laike ser el africano snakes, la sardin omelettes sünd fain, du shulst no cre dat. Od now mi wad alwen bin a fan de sardin omelett. Et sim ke mai co-voyagis oso. E la cafe: nеmцы nikogda ne sтаli бы drinke datу na dom, mа hir lis ama daty. Tu boil el acua, poe Nescafé, cuasi tod uma cane de dose condensee milk, den uns sucar cubos, e la ding ist redi. Clar, es is süsz. Lis hab oso ratis na spitt. Hopefuly lis wilde ratis, not citi ratis, meme so lis taste a bit strang. Ist as du lapin, mas il ha un arriere-gust bizar.

In Niamey, the cappital, we hav a brake and go on to the beninian border. At the border the oficials want to see our colera vaccination certificat. Funny enuf, this bunch of german and swiss peeple dont hav it, wile the brazilo heer has one. They all hav to go bak to Niamey and get one. It’s only a few hundred kilometers. I stay at the border and look a bit at life as it is heer. I love the african snaks, the sardeen omletts ar very fine, yu wouldnt beleev it. From now on i’l always be a fan of sardeen omletts. My co-travelers aparently too. And the coffee: the germans would never drink this stuf at home, but heer they love it: yu boil the water, por Nescafé, almost a whole can of sweetend condensd milk, then a few cubes of sucar and it’s redy. Sure, it is sweet. They also hav rats on the skewer. Hopefuly they’r wild rats, not city rats, stil they taste a bit strange. It is like rabbit, but they hav a funny aftertaste.


Main amigis ist bak. Lis had no vaksina contra colera in Niamey, ma had të paktën a vulë. La turisti pai, la funccionari carimb. Nau überqueren wir la grenze. Wi remorca jümmer encor en auto, la hele temp. Mabon e mi continuh jok e plei. Parfes un peu tro, so ke in el end oni caus a minim accidente co la remorcu cordo et la fares. Vontkomm se vuelve furial, lo nos shimp e sei Mabon que ela tiene ke continuh in el auto de Vontkomm, so ke mi can consentra mejor. Ela sei lo shal go to inferno, ma lo acorda no. Mi propone ke nos disembark e demanda carona to la capitale. Ela pensa wir sholte waita co Vontkomm go e go aus na nexte citi, ma da Mi acorda no. Mi pensa wi shalau go aut nau, o go co lo bis el end. We end up driving to Parakou, wo ela go of. Mi continuh co Vontkomm jusqua la togiano fronter. Mi ha non un visa pro Togo, tenemos ke convense la funccionaris de la do saide de la frontera para lase mi pasa la frontera pro una half ora, come Vontkomm can no conduce la dos auto na same temp, e lo solo ha la visa pro un entrad... Konec 2000 km longo vlečne poti proslavimo con a bir. Lo meme da mi some moni pro ha conducid. Den mi go bak, was is non isi, wail nau odre beamte is na togiano grenz, e lis wissen nix de mi. Mas in el end mi shaff dat. At la beniniano saide lis wole no to lete mi in cose mi hav a rucsak, e rucsacos is not permitee na “socialista” Benin. Mi can no go bak o Togo, parce que mi ha no visa, il sim kil fodra stei na resto de mai vie inter ces do land, in ta land de personne. ‘Ma main amigis, ustedes dejaron mi pasa la fronter e prometieron ke mi podría entra denov, e mi ja had ta mochil!" ‘Kyllä, mutta se oli na pre in el auto, joten se ei ollut reali rucsak, e nyt se is sellainen. Tu can go in, ma tuai mochila no'. Oni nesesit a bisschen paciens, kaine frage, und in el ende wird la problema gelöst. Mi mus demonta dat, mi neem ales of wat maakt la borsa to a rucsak, e steek la rör na bors. E mi carry it on la pans. Lis laset mi pas, et 100 metros dopo la frontera mi hai un infernale boulot pour monta la sak a dos de nouveau. De Cotonou, la capital, mi voy a Naijiria.

My frends ar bak. Thare wer no colera vaccines in Niamey, but they had a stamp at leest. The tourist pays, the oficial stamps. Now we cross the border. We’r stil towing a car all the time. Mabon and me keep joking and playing. Sometimes a bit too much, so that we end up causing a little accident with the towing rope and the lites. Vontkomm is outraged, he scolds and tels Mabon she has to go in his car, so that i can concentrate better. She tels him to fuk off, but he doesnt agree with that. I propose her that we get off and hitchhike to the cappital. She thinks we should go on in the car and get off at the next town, but i dont agree. I think we should get off now, or go with him all the way. We end up driving to Parakou, ware she gets off. I go on with Vontkomm to the togolese border. I dont hav a veesa for Togo, we hav to persuade the oficials on both sides of the border to let me throu for haf an our, since Vontkomm cant drive the 2 cars at once, and he’s got a veesa for only one entry... We cellebrate the end of a 2000 km long towing journy with a beer. He eeven pays me some money for the driving. Then i go bak, wich is not so eesy becaus at the togolese border they hav other oficials now, and they dont know ennything about me. But i end up mannaging it. At the beninian side they dont want to let me in becaus i hav a ruksak, and ruksaks ar not alowd in the “socialist” Benin. I cant go bak to Togo becaus i dont hav a veesa, it seems that i’l hav to spend the rest of my life between thees 2 borders. ‘But fokes, yu let me out and promisd me to let me in again, and i had a ruksak alredy!’ ‘Yes, but it was in the car befor, so it wasnt realy a ruksak, and it is one now. Yu can come in, only your ruksak cant.’ Yu need some patience, no dout, and eventualy the problem is solvd. I hav to dismantle it, i take evrything off wat makes a bag to a ruksak, put the pipes inside the ruksak. And i carry it at the belly. They let me throu, and 100 meeters after the border i hav a hel of a job to assemble it again. From Cotonou, the cappital, i go to Nigeria.

Benin is mittlere drittale welt, Togo subale drittale welt e Niger forale welt.

Benin is middle third world, Togo lower third world and Niger fourth world.

nigeriano/naijiriano - la regla is normali ke land nomes scrivs in el originale form, e la pronunciacion can bin el original o la pronunciacion segon el europix reglas. Ou seja, teria ke bi 'Niger' e 'Nigeria'. Ma den oni hette la problema con el adjectiv e la demonim, es wer 'nigeriano' pro la do land. Inglishe "copiet" la lös de franciano con en utneem, oni scrive 'nigerien' pro la pople de Niger (e nigerian pro Nigeria). Ma den oni can no fa la distinccion de ces nomes na spikee lingua, parse ke la terminaciones -en et -an sont prononcee co shwa. Entonces pro Nigeria mi tomé la spikee form e scribe Naijiria.

nigeriano/naijiriano - the rule is usualy that cuntry names ar written in the original form, and the pronunciation can be the original pronunciation or the pronunciation acording to the europix rules. So it would hav to be 'Niger' and 'Nigeria'. But then yu hav the problem with the adjectiv and the deemonym , usualy it would be 'nigeriano' for both cuntries. English "coppies" the solution from french making an exception, the peeple of Niger ar calld 'nigerien' (and nigerian for Nigeria). But then yu cant tel one from another in speech, since the endings -en and -an would both hav a shwa ennyway. So for Nigeria i took the spoken form and spel Naijiria.


borsa/saco - bag, purse, sack, case: bu kavramlar ni in inglishe ni de diğer dillerde net bir şekilde separee no, bu yüzden onları tanımlamam gerekiyordu. 'Borsa' is algo ke oni can fechar, con a ziper ou a similare ding, "saco" algo ke oni can no fechar. Und oni can sei a 'saco rizo' pro a ris sak - OK, wen du coope dat, dat is sluten, ma dopo oni openet dat, oni can no mo sluten. 'Ruksaco' in the otre said is something dat oni can clos, ma dat is a relativlik internacionale word, 'ruk' is la word pro 'bak', so ruksak is la saco pro la bak, dus dat remanes a 'sak', a ruksak. Pour a valise oni sei cofre, pour a portemonai oni sei 'monium' (plas o contenor pro moni), la poke na brюkах is a 'poke'. Evidentlik essas vordes can perde su finale vocal, si ai no consonante na dopo: bors, sak, pok.

borsa/saco - bag, purse, sack, case: thees concepts arnt cleerly seprated, neither in english nor in other languages, so i had to define them: 'borsa' is something yu can close, with a zipper or something simmilar, 'saco' is something yu cant close. And yu say a 'rizo saco' for a sak of rice - OK, wen yu by it, it is closed, but once yu'v opend it, yu cant close it again. 'Ruksaco' on the other hand is something yu can close, but it is a relativly international word, 'ruk' is the word for 'bak', so ruksak is the sak for the bak, thus it remanes a 'sak', a ruksak. For a suitcase yu say cofre, for a money purse yu say monium (place or container for money), the pocket in a pant is a poke. Of course thees words can lose their last vowel, if no consonant folloes: bors, sak, pok.


forale - ordenale numeros is la numero plus la sufixo pro el adjectiv, -ale: un - unale, doz-dozale, triz-trizale, for-forale, etc

forale - ordinal numbers ar the number plus the suffix for the adjectiv, -ale: un - unale, doz-dozale, triz-trizale, for-forale, etc


vord - no poco linguas ha no la son /w/, et /wo/ et speciali /wu/ sont bene difisile pro pople dont linguas ha no /w/, come /w/ ist in fact cun /u/ super court, meme si la /w/ son a peu diferent af el /u/ in a mot as 'would' /wud/. So cose eso, /wo/ e /wu/ se vuelven /vo/ e /vu/, as in 'vord' e 'vunda' (wonder).

vord - quite a few languages dont hav the sound /w/, and /wo/ and especialy /wu/ ar quite difficult for peeple whose languages dont hav /w/, since /w/ is actualy just a very short /u/, eeven if the /w/ sounds a bit difrent of the /u/ in a word like 'would' /wud/. So becaus of that, /wo/ and /wu/ become /vo/ and /vu/ in europix, as in 'vord' and 'vunda' (wonder).

EUROPIX FASE T

In ta faze, 85% das vordes is in europix, aominos in el occidentale linguas. Como hab ai hir od longo tempo no comentare, mi nem an ke no file le dat, si algi übahaupt, ma mi ha la drang, bringe to ende wat mi ha start.

In this fase, 85% of the words ar in europix, at leest in the western languages. Since thare havnt been comments for quite a wile heer, i guess not menny ar reeding this, if ennybody at all, but i hav the urge to finnish things i start...


Necte land bуdе Аndоrrа, ma dat is bene micro land, e mi can no skазаti prо nеї bаgаtо, за вiniatkоm tоgо, dat is enorme tоrgовi cеntro, e tam oni can oso ski. E ke lis spik catalaniano tam. Den caamt Angola, ma mi can no vertelle feel över ta land oso, mi sa solo el aeroport. Mersie to la petrol, dat is upale third world, wat is no bad pro Africa. Is distante de Seychelles, dat is baso premier mond, e tix negro africano landes is plu rico, ma triti oit is plu povre.

The next cuntry would be Andorra, but thats a very tiny cuntry, and i cant say much about it, except that it is a huge shopping mall, ware yu can ski too. And that they speek catalan thare. Then comes Angola, but i cant tel much about this cuntry either, i just know the areport. Thanks to the oil, it is upper third world, wich is not bad for Africa. It is far from Seychelles, wich is lower first world, and 10 blak african cuntries ar richer, but 38 ar poorer.


E den Argentina: la primeira vez mi estive tam pre a longo temp. In y ffordd to la wland mi ha go bai autostop to Erechim, in ne Brasil, et ymwelais a chefnder de mi. Na vecher mi wolou wida raisen, mai cusino ha go co mi to la servise stacion na begin du strad. Na restoran mi comandou a "plenu", a mini beca fild to la top co cachaça, dat is a sucar cana shnaps, ma non exactli rum. Mai cusino ha fai mega oyos, "Jesus Crist, tu drincou sa as sa etai acua!" Mi had tipet ano et er orgulare de mai capasitee de drink, so to impresa lo a bit plu, mi comandou un otro, pre la servo lasou. Mi bebi dat in un inglot oso, e comandou a terceiro. Mai cusino conte no cre dat, so mi bestelte plus ainen. Ta mal la kelner bringou a litro shnaps in a tason. Zer egiten nuen itxaroten zegoenez, drinke behar nuen...

And then Argentina: the first time i was thare a long time ago. On the way to the cuntry i hichhiked to Erechim, in suthern Brazil, and visited a cousin of mine. In the eevening i wanted to continnue my trip, my cousin acompanied me to the service station at the beginning of the road. In the restaurant i askd for a "full one", a small glas fild to the top with cachaça, wich is a sugar cane liquor, but not exactly rom. My cousin made big eyes, "Jesus Crist, yu drank that as it was water!" I was 15 and proud of my drinking capacity, so to impress him a bit mor, i askd for another one befor the waiter had left. I drank that in a sip too, and askd for a third one. My cousin couldnt beleev it, so i askd for another one. This time the waiter braut a jug fild with a leeter cachaça. As he kept waiting to see wat i do, i had to drink it...


Den mi marche na strata na noit, e plotslik ocure to mi ke mi sa non ou mi bi. Mi cuestion a paso, lo informa ke mi estoy in Passo Fundo, dat is sto kilometro af Erechim. Como mi cheguei hir? Mi can memore nix, ma mi mus hab autostop irgendwi. У lюbыm выpаdkу nа dаrозе mi trebа stop in a gasolinerie, mi pыtаюсia ў otre pasi, e lo sei mi prаistsі kаlia peta sto metro, sharpli pавiarnуts to leв e praistsi bolьsh за ti kilometro. Mi continuh wok, e como mi super fatigee - mi hartli slept na laste noit - mi dormei durli mi wok. Is late, dopo minoit, ai no multi trafico, mi marche na strada parse ke la margin lan is plu neregular. Cuando mi audi un auto, mi despiert e go to la margin lan. Is bene cold, plus o minu zero grado celsius, so mi usa shorts as hat e sokes as handshu. Mi lauf e lauf, e den mi se ke mi lif tipeta kilometro, la tipo ha sei ti kilometro. Mi muk wat eral? Hmmm, lo ha sei mi shalau turne sharpli left, e mi can no memore ke mi turnd sharpli left - to la raite mi felt as si mi was wok to front, con a legero curva to la rait. Това bеshе greshka, so chе triabва dа въrвia tipeta kilometro bak, e ti kilometro in el otre direccion. Mi llegué na gasolinerie in ora oito de la matin. Andar foti kilometro is no mundo record, mas andar foti kilometro durlik oni dorme, meibi dat foi a record!

Then i was walking on a street in the nite, and suddenly it ocurd to me that i didnt know ware i was. I askd a passer-by, he told me that i was in Passo Fundo, that was 100 km away from Erechim. How had i come heer? I couldnt remember ennything, but i must hav hichhiked somehow. Ennyway i had to go to a gas station on the rode, i askd another passer-by and he told me to walk mor or less 500 meeters, turn sharp left and walk mor or less 10 km. I kept walking, and since i was very tired - i had hardly enny sleep the nite befor - i got asleep walking. It was late, after midnite, thare wasnt much trafic, i walkd on the rode becaus the marginal strip was mor ireggular. Wen i herd a car, i woke up and went to the marginal strip. It was quite cold, around zeero degrees celsius, so i used shorts as a hat and socks as gloves. I walkd and walkd, and then i saw that i had walkd 15 km, the guy had sed 10 km. Did i do something wrong? Hmmm, he sed i should turn sharp left, and i couldnt remember having turnd sharp left - to the rite it just felt as if i was walking strate, with a slite curv to the rite. That was a mistake, so i had to walk 15 km bak and 10 km in the other direction. I arived around 8 oclok in the morning at the gas station. 40 km walking is not a world reccord, but 40 km walking asleep, maybe that was a reccord!


Den mi besuch a teto de mi, ki lebt in Artigas, in el urugiano saide der fronter. Sin fru is a profesa, lo a contrabando. Et in el end mi come to Buenos Aires. De labah mi go to Mendoza e den to Chile, e naturali na fin mi venou bak to Brasil. Sidst ke mi vas in Argentina vas in ta ano, in januar. Mi go to la sude to visit irmao e sista, e den de Porto Alegre to Resistencia in Argentina, de tam to Salta e den to Chile, ta vez to la Desert Atacama, la mais seco deserto do mund. Mi mach ales bai bus til Salta, mas ai solo un bus par dei ober el Andes to Calama in Atacama, e la buses is plenli reservee pro ain wik. Mai dama caamt bai fleger de Düütshland to Calama, e mi shal picap el in el aeroport - ela can no spik espanian, e shull bi bene perdee. E mi red ke mi nesess a PCR test to crosa la fronter, ma mi ha solo do dei to go to el aeroport in Calama. Mi ha trai get a PCR test con a result in pok ora, mas in ale clinicas ou mi etai lis donerai mi la resultat solo na prochain dei, den mi aurai solo un dei to arive tam. Is no super distante, mino ke 600 km, ma por el Andes et ai no bus. So mi loobun trai get PCR-test, e si lis demanda testi, mi mostra testi ke mai dama Saksamaal tehtud, dat is kirjutatud saksa keeles, so lis can no luged e can no sa ke dat is no mai. Mi deside take buses na direccion, e se como distante mi com, dopo tri bus mi sta strandet in Susques, a bit plu ke sto kilometro von der fronter. Keen bus go plu distant, et is noit. Na fologare matina mi go to la strada to autostop la laste piesa to la fronter. Solo pleno brasiliano picapes e SUVes pasa hir, pleni turis, e camiones. Ai a gasolinerie, mas el aut funccion, nadi stop, so ke mi can spik co la conductis. Dopo dos o tris ora, un auto stope to get informacion na mini locale turi ofiss na saide da strada, mi core tam e spik co la pari, mi explica ke dat is un emergens, ai no bus, e mai dama ficaria desperee si mi no labah to picap el. Lis oso pleno, ma tak of some ding από la πίσω sitor e presa ta na κορμός. Lis porta mi to la fronter, e tam la chiliano funccionaris fraagt si mi ha fruta co mi. Mi sei ke no, e lis let mi dru - no cuestiones abaut a PCR test. So mi veni to San Pedro de Atacama, ou mi can tak a bus to Calama. Mi llegué dos ora pre mai dama llegó. Apropoh, la pari era russki.

Then i visited an uncle of mine, who lived in Artigas, on the uruguayan side of the border. His wife was a teecher, he was a smuggler. And eventually i came to Buenos Aires. From thare i went to Mendoza and then to Chile, and of corse at the end i came bak to Brazil. The last time i was in Argentina was in january this yeer. I flew to Sao Paulo, went to the south to visit brother and sister, and then from Porto Alegre to Resistencia in Argentina, from thare to Salta and then to Chile, this time to the Atacama Desert, the driest desert of the world. I did it all by bus til Salta, but thare is only one bus a day over the Andes to Calama in Atacama, and the busses wer fully bookd for a week. My lady was coming by plane from Germany to Calama, and i had to pick her up at the areport - she cant speek spanish and would be quite lost. And i had red that i need a PCR test to cross the chilean border, but i had only two days to get to the areport in Calama. I tried to get a PCR test with a result in a few ours, but in all the clinics i was they would giv me the results only the following day, so i'd hav only one day to get thare. Its not very far, less than 600 km, but over the Andes and no bus avalable. So i gave up trying to get a PCR test, and if they askd for a test, i would sho a test my lady made in Germany, written in german, so they couldnt reed it and couldnt know that the test wasnt for me. I decided to take busses in the direction, after 3 busses i got stuck in Susques, a bit mor than 100 km from the border. Thare wer no busses going further, and it was nite. The following morning i went to the rode to hichhike the last bit to the border. Thare wer only full brazilian pikups and SUVs passing, and a lot of truks, thare was a gas station but it wasnt being oprated, so nobody would stop. After 2 or 3 ours a car stopd to get some information at the little local tourist office beside the rode, i talkd to the couple and explaned that it was an emergency. They wer full too, but took some stuf from the bak seet and squeezd it into the boot. They took me to the border, and thare the chilean officers askd me if i hav frutes with me. I sed no, and they let me thru - no questions about a PCR test. So i came to San Pedro de Atacama, ware i was able to take a bus to Calama. I arived 2 ours befor my lady came. By the way, the couple was russian.


Na start des seclo 20, Argentina was ains der rikeste landes der welt, la Teatro Colón aines der famosesten e Buenos Aires aine der erste citis con a metro sistem. Ma den dat had mikið de kreppum, dat varð no fátækara ma menny land verða rikari, svo nú a dei dat is efri annar heimurinn. Meibi la crises is causee bai la facto ke la populacion encora wole liv as si lis wer rik as na pre. In Latin America argentinis is sabet as arogant e pretencioz, ma lis ha bon grünn pro dat. Ela ha a super hai educale nivel, et un des plu hai numeros de psicologis par abiti - probabli lis le nesesa, con ale dat crises... In el otre said ai una bene forte corelacion inter rikitee e poco corupcion, dat is, la plu rico la land, la mino corupt, et Argentina ha una delle posiciones plu bass in relacion to su per capita incom. Super na contrar af Uruguay e Chile, dat is landes co super poco corupcion in comparacion co son incom. Segon Transparency Internacional, Uruguay is mino corupto ke Frans, Japan or USA.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Argentina was one of the richest cuntries in the world, the Teatro Colón one of the most famus and Buenos Aires was one of the first citties to hav a subway sistem. But then it had a lot of crises, it didnt get poorer but menny cuntries became richer, so nowadays it is upper seccond world. Maybe the crises ar du to the fact that the population stil wants to liv as if they wer rich as befor. In Latin America argentinians ar noen as arrogant and pretentius, but they hav good reesons for it. The cuntry has a hily edducated population and one of the hiest numbers of psychologists per inhabbitant - probbably they need it, with all those crises... On the other hand, thare is quite a strong corelation between welth and little coruption, that is, the richer the cuntry the less corupt, and Argentina has one of the lowest positions in relation to its per capita income. Very unlike Uruguay and Chile, that ar cuntries with very little coruption comparing to thare income. According to Transparency International, Uruguay is less corupt than France, Japan or the USA.


Geografie - Argentina is el oitale mas mega land del mund. Is no super largo, solo plus o minu mile kilometro, ma bene longo de norde to sud - la distanse do norde to la sud is plu mega ke de Ciudad Juarez in Mexico to Juneau in Alaska, bai crus USA e Canada. So es ha no poco clima zonas, de subtropicale to glacial. Meest de la land is extremli flat, ma na west ai el Andes, co la haieste mont aut Himalaya et adjasente montarum, el Aconcagua.

Geografy - Argentina is the 8th biggest cuntry of the world. It is not very wide, only about thousand kilometers, but quite long from north to south - the distance from north to south is bigger than from Ciudad Juarez in Mexico to Juneau in Alasca, crossing the USA and Canada. So it has quite a few climatic zones, from subtropical to glacial. Most of it is extreemly flat, but in the west thare ar the Andes, with the hiest mountain outside the Himalaya and adjacent mountan ranges, the Aconcagua.


Populacion: Dependli de la statistica, 65% to 90% af argentinis is blank, la rest is mestisis, amerindis et asis. La viš oni go to norde, viš amerndis oni vi, mas in Buenos Airesu et otre mega citis oni vi gotovo solo blankis, meme si ta change resentli coz imigracion de paragis, bolivis et af otre landes in el Andes. Un vez mi veí a negro in Buenos Aires, mi keria start a conversacion co lo, to sa como lo sent in a tale blanco land, ma lo era de Washington DC. Buenos Aires tem a super exitale noite vid, oni shal sair in ora tiun et oni vi como la citi starte plenei. Mi laike sei dat among la 4 citis co la beste noite leben na welt, aine starte co M, Madrid, e tri co B: Berlin, Barcelona e Buenos Aires.

Population: Depending on the statistics, 65% to 90% of argentinians ar wite, the rest ar mestizos, amerindians and asians. The mor yu go to the north, the mor amerindians yu see, but in Buenos Aires and other big citties yu see almost only wites, altho this is changing becaus of the imigration of paraguayans, bolivians and from other cuntries in the Andes. Once i saw a blak guy in Buenos Aires, i wanted to start a conversation with him to know how he feels in such a wite cuntry, but he was from Washington DC. Buenos Aires has a very exciting nitelife, yu hav to go out at 11 PM and yu see how the citty starts filling up. I like to say that among the 4 citties with the best nitelife in the world, one begins with M, Madrid, and 3 with B: Berlin, Barcelona and Buenos Aires.

catalanian - in catalaniano la region is nöömt 'Catalunya' et el adjectiv is 'català'. Ma la stem mus bin alwen la sam, e la stem pro la region varie a lot na third vocal: KatalÁnsko, CatalOnia, CatalUnya. El adjectif is regular, con A: catalan, català, katalanisch. Den nosotros tak A, la stem is CATALAN, la region CATALANIA, el adjectivo CATALANIANO. Is rada longo, ma reducendum la stem to CATAL in region CATALIA daturum, dat is hartli reconisable, certe minu reconisable ke CATALANIA.


catalanian - in catalan, the reegion is calld 'Catalunya' and the adjectiv is 'català'. But the stem must be always the same, and the stem for the reegion varies a lot in the third vowel: KatalÁnsko, CatalOnia, CatalUnya. The adjectiv is regular, with A: catalan, català, katalanisch. So we take A, the stem is CATALAN, the reegion CATALANIA, the adjectiv CATALANIANO. This is rather long, but redusing the stem to CATAL would giv CATALIA as cuntry, and this is hardly recognizable, in enny case less recognizable than CATALANIA.


La samo pro Russia, dat is Россия, Rossia in russki. El adjectiv is 'russki'. So wi mus desid inter O et U, e como la resto du weld U pro la land e pro el adjectivo ha, wi tak U: Russia/russki.

Same for Russia, wich is Россия, Rossia. The adjectiv is 'russki'. So we hav to decide between O and U, and since the rest of the world has U for cuntry and adjectiv, we take U: Russia/russki.


is - sted 'lu is' o 'dat is' - si oni start a frase con a verbo stem withaut a noun o pronome pre it, is imperativ. 'Veni hir' signifi 'Veni hir!", is a comand. Ma pro 'bi-n' el imperativo form is co 'bi-n', so 'is' can no bin imperativ, e can bin usee na start af a fras: Is gud. Is dobro. Is bon.

is - insted of 'lu is' or 'dat is' - if one starts a sentence with a verb stem without a noun or pronoun befor it, it is imperativ. 'Veni hir' meens 'Come heer!", it is an order. But for 'to be' the imperativ form is with 'bi-n', so 'is' cant be imperativ, and can be used at the beginning of a sentence: Is gud. Is dobro. Is bon. And it meens 'It is good'.


micro/enorme - Mi pensa ke no poco construit lingua solo izmantotu tale vordes as "ļoti" e den la normale vordes "mini" e "mega", to ietaupītu nenesesale vocabular. Mas europix tem extra vordes si la majoritee das línguas tem oso extra vordes. Et irgendwi tale wordes fa sprachen a bit plu coloral.

micro/enorme - i guess quite a few conlangs would just use a word like 'very' and then the usual word for 'small' and 'big', to save the lerning of unnecessary vocabulary. But europix has extra words if most languages hav extra words too. And somehow such words make languages a bit mor colorful.


tason - la sufix -on is pro la vergrootform, -it pro diminutiv. Si el originale word has a finale vocal, ta vocal comes dopo el -it sufix: cavali = horse, cavaliti = calf, cavalito = manale calf, etc. Ta sufixos can bin uset in un afectivo fason, ma solo si la mo is non ocupee. Normali la formas co diminutiv et aumentativo signifi no tolk a megal o mini form af algu, de certo manera los change la naturaleza de la palabra, dat is, otre linguas usa generalik otre palabras pro lo. Taigi "berit" is no beri kuri nelabai cresou - tokiu atveju oni vou sei "mini ber" - "berit" is a beri kid. A 'shopon' seria no traduit as a 'mega shop', dat is a departamento shop. Papon is ain opa, mamon ain oma. Mas enkels is no filitis, dat can bi bruuct bai mamas üm su filis to cal. oh mai filit! Pro 'grandchild' la word is 'fifili' (la fili de la fili). Otre exemplos: doron = portail, hahait = sourir, stolon = fauteil, sautita = rebondir, hausit = cabanne, coldite = frais, etc. Apropoh, la palabras pro tasas e vasos depende no del material: si ha no handor, is a 'beca/ker'. Si dat van handor, is a 'tasa'. Si dat tem uma stilk, is uma 'copa'.

tason - the suffix -on stands for augmentativ, -it for diminnutiv. If the original word has a final vowel, this vowel comes after the -it suffix: cavali = horse, cavaliti = calf, cavalito = male calf, etc. Thees suffixes can be used in a afectiv way, but only if the word isnt occupied. Usualy the forms with diminutiv and augmentativ dont just meen a big or small form of something, somehow they change the nature of the word, ie other languages use mostly other words for it. Thus 'berit' is not a bare that didnt grow much - in that case one would say a 'mini ber' - 'berit' is a bare puppy. A shopon wouldnt be translated as a 'big stor', it is a department stor. Papon is a grandfather, mamon a grandmother. But grandchildren arnt filitis, that can be used for mums to call thare sons, oh mai filit! For 'grandchild' the word is 'fifili' (the child of the child). Other examples: doron = gate, hahait = smile, stolon = armchair, sautita = hop, hausit = hut, coldite = cool, etc. By the way, cups and glasses ar not named by the mateerial, so the word for 'glass' and 'beeker' is the same, 'beca/ker'. The word 'glas' exists, but just for the mateerial. A drinking contaner with a handle is a 'tasa', if it has a stem it is a 'copa'.

[VaptuantaDoi]

In this fase, 85% of the words ar in europix, at leest in the western languages. Since thare havnt been comments for quite a wile heer, i guess not menny ar reeding this, if ennybody at all, but i hav the urge to finnish things i start...

Two reeders, it could be worse...

La nexte land is Armenia. Mi was tam, ma solo durlik a bit dei. La kavkazano landscapes can bi bene spectacular. Na capitale Yerevan, la grand atraccion is la Cascadas, lus bin as un enorme scala ki go up la montite, la scalitas is in veritee terasas, in in ai a museu in varios nivel, oni go af un nivel to el otru bai escalator. In el up du montit, oni and a bit metres e llega na haus de Charles Aznavour, ki era fransi af armeniano desendens e had a haus tam. Apropoh, Armenia besh el unale land kin adoptou cristianismo as a stato religion. La simbolo du land is la Mont Ararat. Un mal mi ha go to la sude to besuchen la Catolico Centro, dat is el ortodoxo Vaticano af el armenis. Na wei bak mi stopou par la ruinas af un af el oudest eclecias du mund. Tam was a single turi grupa, co fo pople e la gid. Eventuali mi venou plu nir to lis e ha audi ke la gida spicou espanian. So mi cuestionou ela si ta enorme monte na sude, cuasi fronte nu, pleni sneg, is el Ararat. Iva, ela ha sei. Apropoh, oni can vi ta monte, dat is la simbolo du land, de cuasi ale punto na land, ma lu non in Armenia, lu in Türkie - ma ja tev in a zona ki er armeniano na pre. Plu late nus incontrou denovo na mini museu besaide la ruinas, e la gida cuestionou mi de wo mi comm. Mi ha sei de Brasil, den ela cuestionou de cuale citi. Mi ha sei de Sam Paulu, et ela ha sei, ah, den yu can spik co mai turi grup, lis oso de Sam Paulu. E mi ha fa dat, un du turis etai mem a desendi af armenis. Lu sim ke lis findou no gidi ki spik portugaliano, so lis tacou uni ki spik espanian.

The next cuntry is Armenia. I was thare, but only for a few days. The caucasian landscapes can be quite spectacular. In the cappital Yerevan, the grate atraction ar the Cascades, they'r like a huge stareway up a hil, the steps ar actualy terraces, inside is a museum on difrent levels, yu go from one level to the uther by escalators. On the top of the hil, yu walk a few meeters and cum to the house of Charles Aznavour, who was a frenchman of armenian descendence and had a house thare. By the way, Armenia was the first cuntry to adopt cristianism as a state religion. The simbol of the cuntry is the Mount Ararat. Once i went to the south to see the Cathlic Center, wich is the orthodox Vatican of the armenians. On the way bak i stopd at the ruins of one of the oldes churches of the world. Thare was a single tourist group thare, with 4 peeple and the guide. I came by chance neerer to them and herd that the guide was speeking spanish, so i askd the guide if this huge mountain full in snow in the south, almost in frunt of us, is the Ararat. She sed yes. By the way, you can see the Ararat from almost evryware in the cuntry, but it is not in Armenia, it is in Turky - but was in an area that was armenian befor. Later we met in the little museum beside the ruins, and she askd me ware i cum from. I sed from Brazil. She askd from wich city, i sed from Sao Paulo. She sed, ah, then yu can talk to my group, they'r also from Sao Paulo, and i chatted a bit with them. One of thees brazilians was of armenian decendence. It seems they didnt find a guide who spoke portuguese, so they took one who spoke spanish.

Economicli, Armenia is centrale tweede mund.

Economicly, Armenia is middle seccond world.

E den Australia. Mi cam de Bali, la bus af el aeroporto bringe nu to la citi in Darwin, ai cuasi nix around, e mi pensa mi mus serche la citi centro, so mi starte lauf e dopo peta minute mi na bush - la plase wo la bus stopou was la citi centro. Wen oni was un ano in Asia et oni comm to Australia, speciali si oni comm to Darwin, dat is somecom a shok. Asia is so populee, wen oni vole cak e go behind la bush, oni find aut dat ai ja tri chinis ki scuate tam. Java, un il in Indonesia, is megal as Austria, ma ha la populacion af Austria, Deutshland e Frans samen. O to put lu in USano stardardes, Java is megal as New Mexico e ha la halfe populacion af USA. In el otre said, Australia is megal as USA e ha minu pople ke Texas e multi minu pople ke California. Ma lis ofre dinges in Darwin ke lis ofre non in otre landes: lis serve crocodil e canguru burger. E jake el unal imigris was gefangene, lis was baso clas - rikis is meibi plu criminale dat armis, ma lis stei non in gefengnissen - e jake lis baso clas, lis spicou cocni. Wat signifi ke lis faz un /ai/ af un /ei/, et un /oi/ af un /ai/. Claro, la hai clase spik as el inglishe hai clas.

And then Australia. I came from Bali, the bus from the areport brings us to town in Darwin, thare is neerly nuthing around and i think i hav to look for the citty center, so i start walking and after 5 minnuts i'm in the bush - the place ware the bus stopd was the citty center. Wen yu'v been a yeer in Asia and yu cum to Australia, especialy wen yu cum to Darwin, it is sumhow a shok. Asia is so poppulated, wen yu want to take a shit in China and yu go into the bushes, yu find out that thare ar alredy 3 chinese squatting and shitting thare. Java, an iland in Indonesia, is as big as Austria but has the population of Austria, Germany and France put together. Or to put it in american standards, Java is as big as New Mexico and has haf the population of the USA. Australia on the uther hand is as big as the USA without Alaska, and has fewer peeple than Texas and much fewer peeple than California. But they offer stuf in Darwin they dont offer in uther cuntrys, they serv crocodile and cangaroo burgers. And since the ferst emmigrants wer prisoners, they wer low class - rich peeple ar maybe mor crimminal than poor peeple, but they dont stay in prisons - and since they wer low class, they spoke cokny. Wich meens that thy mike an /ai/ of an /ei/ and an /oi/ of an /ai/. Sure, the upper class australians speek like the upper class brits.

Wen oni lase Darwin in direccion du sud, ai nothing e nobodi. Ma miliardes flig. Durli mi autostopou, mi caminé, e mi had a toalla ke cobrou mai fas. Da mi hørte un auto come, mi tacou of la håndkleet e putou lu bak da el auto vas borte. Mi venou to Cathrin (Katherine), a mini citi pleni aborigenis. Lis sim as alienis e manchmal oni hab el imprecion ke lis realik alienis. E lis cre dat ai ta realitee hir et a multi plu mega realitee in ultra, ke lis nöömt Drimu Temp. E frecuentli mi had el imprecion ke lis tolco hav a stopu hir, lis came sub du Drimu Tempo to get gas e some chip.

Wen u leev Darwin going south, thare is nuthing and nobody ennymor. But billions of floys. Oy walkd woil oy hichhiked, and oy had a towel cuvring moy fice. Wen oy herd a car cumming, oy took off the towel, and put it bak as soon as the car was gon. Oy kime to Cathrin (Katherine), a small town full of aborigenes. Thy look loik iliens and sumtoims yu hav the impression thy ar extraterestrials indeed. And thy beleev that thare is this reality heer and a much larger reality beyond, wich thy call Dreemtime. And offen oy had the impression thy just ar having a stop heer, decending from Dreemtime to get sum gas and sum chips.

La wei dru la desert is no speciali shuet. Oni vi multi serpentis e cangurus, ma lis ali morto, flat as a tapi na strad. Tak czy inaczej, in Australia mi lern alu dat is nesesale to przetrwania in ta land: mi can chase bumeranges e lansa cangurus. Chasing bumeranges is bene facil, speciali si lus lei around in a corna. Lansing cangurus is super plu hart, speciali lansing lus in a modus ke lis comme bak.

The wy thru the desert isnt especialy noice. U see menny snikes and cangaroos, but thy'r all ded, flat loik a carpet on the rode. Ennywy in Australia oy lern evrything necessary to survoiv in that cuntry: oy can hunt boomerangs and throw cangaroos. Hunting boomerangs is quoit eesy, especialy if thy loy around in a corner. Throwing cangaroos is a lot harder, especialy throwing them in a wy that thy cum bak.

Mi cam to el Ayer's Rock e mi can clime lu, ma dat was pre triti ano. Nau oni mei no clime lu, e su nome nau is Uluru. Durli historie, la blank australis etaient no super amigale to el aborigenis, nau lis trai mostra lis some respect. Mi continuh to Addelaid, den na camino to Sidny mi stop in Mildura, in ta mini citi mi find a job, mi pik uv. Ma mi stei no longo tempo, lu a terible job.

Oy cum to the Ayer's Rock and oy can cloim it, but that was 30 yeers ago. Now yu'r not alowd to cloim it, and its nime now is Uluru. During history the woit australians wernt very noice to the aborigenes, now thy troy to show them sum respect. Oy go on to Addelaid, then on the wy to Sidny oy stop boy Mildura, and in this town oy foind a job: picking gripes. But oy dont sty very long, it is a terrible job.

In Sidny mi stei in a hotelit in Kings Cross, mi ha no mo moni et in mai desperacion mi starte washe front ocnos na strata corneres, no poco viagis fa lu hir. Oni shalau ni cuestiona, tolco washe lus - manchmal oni get a dolar o some cent, manchmal oni get nix. Ma lu oso a terible job, den mi audi af a companie wo mi canau vercöpe ros. Lis sele lus to oni par peta dolar et oni resele lus par ti dolar, e meme si el australiano dolar is a bit minu valare dat el USano dolar, lu multi moni pro a ros. Mi spend auminus un ora bai trai vende main unale ros e ha no success. Den a tipo ki veni co su brasos around do muchachas kiere finali coupe do rose pro su muchachas, ma lo da mi petati dolar, e mi can no change, mi ha no mini moni, e mi ha no mega moni, mi ha nad. Mi sei mi va change na bar fronte nu, lo respond, OK OK, forgete lu. Mi canau ha vend oso some rose to doz otre tipos, ma lis had no mini moni, e mi oso no, so mi vendou no ros. In el end is minoite, mi stei around el Opera, mi bene frustree, do medels comm e demanda mi do ros, as a cadoh. Mi sei mi can no da rose, mi mus da ale rose bak, e si mi da non ale rose bak mi mus pai, e mi ha no la moni pro dat. Lis simpli take do rose de mai cest e go awei. Mi veni derier, mi demanda lis da la roses bak, lis vole no, e na fin mi sabei ke mi can no get mai roses bak con argumentus, mi mus usa bruto fors. Mi trai tak a ros af una du muchachas, et ela punche main ojo, e den mi can no memore ke ocurou, ma lu sim mi ice algu ke mi had ni fa na pre, mi hitou femas, meme do. Ale roses e la do fete ha lei na soil. Mi pik la roses e go dom. E mi gibup vercaufe ros.

In Sidny oy sty in a hostel in Kings Cross, oy ran out of munny and in moy desperition oy start washing windscreens at the street corners, quoit a few travlers do it heer. Yu should never ask, just wash them - sumtoims yu get a dollar or sum cents, sumtoims yu dont get ennything. But it is a horrible job too, then oy heer of a cumpany ware i could sel roses. Thy sel it for 5 dollars and yu resel them for 10, and eeven if the australian dollar is a bit less worth than the american dollar, it is stil a lot of munny for a rose. Oy spend at leest one our troying to sel moy first rose and hav no success. Then a goy walking with his arms around two girls wants to finaly boy 2 roses for his girls, but he givs me 50 dollars, and oy cant chienge, oy dont hav small chienge, oy dont hav a single cent in moy pocket, oy tel him oy'l chienge it in the bar in frunt, he ses, OK OK, forget about it. I could hav sold some roses to two uther goys too, but thy didnt hav it small and oy wasnt ible to chienge either, so no roses sold. In the end it is midnoit, oim standing around the Sidny Opera, quoit frustrited, 2 girls cum around, thy'r drunk and ask me to giv them 2 roses as a present. Oy sy i cant giv roses awy, oy havnt sold a single rose, so oy hav to giv the roses bak, utherwoiz oy would hav to py for them, and oy dont hav the munny for that. Thy simply tike two roses from moy basket and walk awy. Oy go after them, tel them that oy Need those roses, thy tel me not to be so stingy, and after a woil oy realoiz that oy wont get the roses bak with arguments. Oy troy to tike the roses using brute force, one of the girls punches me in the oy, and then oy cant remember wat happend, but it seems oy did sumthing oy had never dun befor, oy beet wimmen, eeven two of them. All moy roses wer loying on the ground, and the girls too. Oy pikd moy roses and went home. And oy giv up selling roses.

Mi go to Brisban e besök a fema ki mi sabei in China or un otre land nir lu. E mi find a job wo mi distribui flayas na strat. Lu main unale rasiste job, mi mei no da depliants to pople con oscuro pele. La folletos is pro a solarium.

Her muther is from Eest Friesland, in Germany, her nime is Frauke, and wen thare frends and colleags want to anoy her, thy call her boy her full nime: Frauke Duffy.

Dat souna no super diferente de Frau Khadaffi. De tut fasson, dopo a tempo mi deside go bak to Sidny e mi find a job in un italiano restoran. In personale termos ai no mult italian in dat: la propietarios is un inglo e su argentinano sposa, la cuki is canado e hab ai nunc un itali hir, ni na cucum ni among la servis, auminu na temp in ke mi wercou tam. Apropoh, la fud is bene dobro. Mi stei tam durli some mes, mi had some gatas, e den mi canau no get a visa extencion - dopo seis mes is finit. E mi go to Fiji.

Wich dusnt sound much difrent than Frau Khadaffi. Ennywy after a woil oy dessoid to go bak to Sidny and foind a job in an italian restaurant. In personal terms thare isnt much italian in it: the owners ar an englishman and his argentinian woif, the cook is canidian and thare has never been an italian thare, neither in the kichen nor amung the witers, at leest as long as oy workd thare. Boy the wy, the food is quoit good. Thare oy sty for a few munths, oy had sum chiks and then i wouldnt be ible to get anuther veesa extension - after 6 munths its over. And oy go to Fiji.

Apropoh, Australia is a bene securo land, lu ha ti mal minu mortizus dat un unik USano citi, Mega Chicago. Economicli lu upal unale mund, e ha la forale haieste HDI, Humano Developu Index, du mund.

Boy the wy, Australia is quoit a sife cuntry, it has 10 toims fewer murders than a single american citty, Griter Chicago. Economicly it is upper first world, and has the forth hoyest HDI, Human Development Index, of the world. But it has a hoyer loif quality than the first 3 ones, Switzerland, Norwy and Oiceland, after all it is - mostly - warm... just dont ask smokers, this cuntry hites them and treets them quoit badly.

miliarde - in inglish et in brasiliano portugaliano, mile milion is a bilion, in espanian (e similarlik in Portugal) oni sei 'mil millones', mas in mouste linguas oni sei 'miliard(e)'. Bilion is la word pro mile miliard.

gatas - la word pro a (hote) hasa in Brasil is 'gata', dat is a feminino cat. In franciano lu 'souris', ke signifi 'maus', in deutshe lu 'hase', la word pro hasa. Ma google o deepl (e meme diccionaris) da no mult informacion abaut lu, lus tradui 'chicks' as 'girls' or as 'chik', et oni sa no si dat signifik el animal or a slang pro girl, as in inglish. Mi canau imagina ke la mo pro filles is rada rarli chik, lu no la plus atractal animal... si algi can helpe mi con otre linguas, mi vou bi dancal... В liubom sluchae, la finale slовоm budеt "miawa", "haza", o meibi "chica" (dat sовpаdаеt con espaniano, kоnеchnо), mausa, o - ki sa?

gatas - the word for a (hot) chick in Brazil is 'gata', wich is a feemale cat. In french it is 'souris', wich meens mouse, in german it is 'hase', the word for hare or bunny. But google or deepl (and eeven dictionaries) dont giv much information about it, they translate 'chicks' as 'girls' or as 'chicken', and yu dont no wether this 'chicken' meens the annimal or a slang for girl, as in inglish. I could imagin that the word for (hot) girls is rather rarely chicken, it is not the most atractiv annimal... if sum-one can help me with uther languages, i'd be grateful... Ennyway, the final word would be 'miawa', 'haza', or maybe 'chica' (that would mach with spanish, ennyway, altho it dusnt meen the annimal thare, but the "little one"), mausa, or - who noes?

EUROPIX FAZE V

El Austro-Ungar Imperum era bene mega pro europano standardes, durli seclos su rois reinou la Santo Roman Imperum, dat is moustli Deutshland tadei, la Habsburges had rois in Espania, Mexico et un impera in Brazil. Lis expandou no bai gera, lis taten lu bai hairat. Ma Preussen stanei plus e plu forte, winou a gera contra Austria, anectou mouste deutshe-spicale statos e stanou Deutshland, et Austria ha stei aut. Hitler, un austro, ha reunie lu co Deutshland, ma dopo el endu du Deuxieme Mundo Ger el Alitis separou Austria de Deutshland denov. Lu endou as a mini landlokee land.

The Austro-Hungarian Empire was quite big for european standards, thare kings raned over the Holy Roman Empire for centuries, wich is mostly Germany today, the Habsburgs had kings in Spain, Mexico and an Emperess in Brazil. They didnt expand by war, they did it by marrage. But Prussia became stronger and stronger, wun a war against Austria, anected most german speeking states, becumming Germany, and Austria stayd outside. Hitler, an austrian, reunited it with Germany, but by the end of World War II the Allies seprated Austria from Germany again. It ended up as a little landlokd cuntry.

Lu ha su devantages bining no deutshe, pro eshemplo yu kurr e fitoni la Futbol Mundo Cop. Ma lu ha su vantages oso, pro exemplo super poco pople cale dich a nazi - ta land is rada sabee bai su valts, si no bai su cangurus... apropoh, lis was 8% oito parcento du deutshe populacion, ma 14% tifo parcento du SS membris, 40% foti parcento du gardis na concentracion campos e 100% sto parcento du shefis (führer).

It has its disadvantages not to be a german, for instance yu nevver win the Football World Cup. But it has its advantages too, for instance very few peeple call yu a nazi - your cuntry is rather noen for its waltz, if not for its cangaroos... by the way, they made 8% of the german population, but 14% of the SS members, 40% of the concentration camp gards and 100% of the leeders (führer).

Austris is strange, ma comico pople. Un vez mi estaba in a tren de Minga to Innsbruck in Austria. Hav ai un italo ki sitou in mai cabin. Lo contou su stori, lo venou de Sicilia to start a job in a pitserie, la shefo ha sei lo: OK, nu take yu, yu can starte dopo do wik. Lo etai no preparee pro dat, lo had no meme la moni to go bak, ma lo musou. Den la charga, a rada grosito fema, venou in e demandou nashe bilees. Lo startou cont ela su odisee in italian, ela comprendou nič e mi ha tradui pro el. Ela ha go aut, venou bak dopo ti minute con a formular, preencheu la formular, ha da lo a copiu du factur e lasou. Den nu crusou el austrishe fronter, et un austrishe chargo venou to cheke nashe bilees. Mi musou conta lo la stori denov. Lo ha sei:
"'Qué??? Ni bilee??? Nada de moni??? Cak!!!"
Lo slamou la dor e nu neva vidou lo denov.

Austrians ar funny peeple. Once i was in a train going from Munich to Innsbruck in Austria. Thare was an italian guy sitting in my cabbin. He told me his story, he came from Sicily to start a job in a pizzeria, the boss sed to him: OK, we take yu, yu can start in two weeks time. He wasnt prepared for that, he didnt eeven hav the munny to go bak, but he had to. Then the (german) conductor, a rather chubby woman, came in and askd for our tickets. He started telling her in italian his odissey, she didnt understand a word and i translated it for her. She went out, came bak after 10 minutes with a form, fild the form, gave him a coppy of the bil and left. Then we crossd the austrian border, and an austrian conductor came by to chek the tickets. I had to tel him the story again. He sed:
"Wat??? No ticket??? No munny??? Fuck!!!"
He slamd the dor and we nevver saw him again.

Un ves mi etai in a fest af un austrish amig in Minga, a galero. Plu ki 100 sto person, around ora 2 do na noite do polisi apar. Lis sei la sosedje ja reclamou, lis mus stope la glasb o fa lu super plu tišja. El ex-sposa de main amig, oso un austri, demanda la pople na festa du dor: Hei, algi ha 100 sto euro? Caina vole da 100 sto euro, ma fo pople da 20 doti euro cad, ela sei la polisis:
"Nu ha mega fun hir, ali is hapi, e vu shalau bi hapi oso."
Ela put el 80 oitoti euro na poke du poliso. Lo sei, no no, mi can no take dat! Lo da la moni bak, ela repete, lis hav a super festa hir, e miksi lis shalau no hav a super temp oso? - e put la moni bak in su pok. La polisis go, la pople na festa cuestiona:
"Lis akzeptou la moni?"
"Ya, ma solo reluctantli."

Once i was in a party of an austrian frend in Munich, a gallerist. Mor than 100 peeple, around 2 oclok in the nite two poleecemen apeer. They say the nabors complaned alredy, they hav to stop making music or turn it cleerly down. My frends ex-wife, also an austrian, asks the peeple in the party from the dor: Hay, dus ennybody has 100 euros? Nobody wants to giv 100 euros, but 4 peeple giv 20 euros eech, she ses to the cops:
"We'r havving grate fun heer, evrybody is happy, and yu should be happy too."
She puts the 80 euros in the pocket of a poleeceman. He ses, no, they cant take that, no no! He givs the munny bak, she ses that they'r havving a grate time, and wy shouldnt they hav a grate time too? and puts the munny in his pocket again. The cops go, the peeple in the party ask her:
"Did they accept the munny?"
"Yeah, but only reluctantly."

As nu vid, afinal deutshe polisis is coruptable, auminu quand ai austris around. Austria is sabet in Deutshland as corupt, mas ai suficientli corupcion scandalos in Deutshland oso. Segon Transparency International, Deutshland vas no super limpo pre som ano, ma nau lu ha reusie ultrapass Austria, Botswana, Chile e mem Uruguay, et is numero naine du mundo na moment. Solo 8 land is minu corupt. Austria is numero 12 tido. Economicli dat is upal unale mund, a bit beta ki Deutshland.

As we see, german cops ar coruptible after all, at leest wen thare ar austrians around. Austria is noen in Germany for being corupt, but thare ar enuf coruption scandals in Germany too. Acording to Transparency International, Germany wasnt very cleen a few yeers ago, but now they mannaged to overtake Austria, Botswana, Chile and eeven Uruguay, and is number 9 of the world at the moment, only 8 cuntries ar less corupt. Austria is number 12. Economicly it is upper first world, a bit better than Germany.

La braziliano canto Caetano Veloso cant in unu de su songes ke videe de nir, no human is reali normal. Ma tu reconese dat austris is no normal de distant.

The brazilian singer Caetano Veloso sings in one of his songs that seen from close up, no human being is realy normal. But yu reccognize that austrians arnt normal from far.

La nexte land na series is Azerbaycan, mi in su capital nau. Dat is mai land numero 155 sto petati pet, a super güzel land! So lu fazau senso scriving abaut lu nau, ma ta texto hir is longo suficientli. Nexte mal.

The next cuntry in the seeries is Azerbaijan, i'm in its cappital now. This is my cuntry number 155, a very nice cuntry! So it would make sense to write about it now, but this text heer is long enuf. Next time.

And shops get the ending -erie: tabakerie, bukerie, florerie, voyagerie (travel agency) etc. E pitserie.
