Dies humids per les terres del sud, tot i que despres dels aiguats tot s'aixuga en un tres i no res, caracteristiques de la terra, que es savia i ens ensenya a diari que tots en formem part.
Wet days by the southern lands, even afterwards the waters all becomes dry so fast, the land characteristics, that is clever and show us daily that all us become part of it.
El "boss" cantant per terres catalanes, tot i que una antiga amiga em posa al corrent, en som plenament conscient els que tremolem amb la musica d'un dels mes millors. Fa uns mesos, despres de que lo Clarence Clemmons passes a la terra d'on tothom hi es benvingut, la pell de gallina que el saxo provoca va tremolar un xic mes del normal, es clar.
The "boss" playing in Catalan land, even an old friend is updating about it, we are fully aware with the ones who feel with the music of one of the best. Few months ago, after Clarence Clemmons passed to the land where everyone's welcome, the chicken skin that this saxophone produces shakes a bit more than normal, is normal.
Com la musica i la terra de Vietnam en son lligades, tot en antagonismes, guerres i demes, es la mostra del que esta per sobre i el que no n'es tant d'important. Tot i que tu, ja t'has graduat i has fet un pas mes endavant a la vida, en uns anys que donen per a molt, que fan tremolar els que estem vora teu i ens mires amb aquests ulls en el dia a dia, ens dones la ma, ens expliques com la vida es presenta, com et sents i que et fa caure una llagrima. Estem molt orgullosos de tu, ja ho saps. Un catala mes amunt.
How the music and the Vietnamese land are tied, even in opposite way, wars and over, is the prove that was is above all and what is not such important. Althought you, once graduated step over in life, in few years that offer to all us a lot, that make all our skin shakes near you and while you looking at us with these eyes in the day to day, give to us your hand, explains to us how life comes to you, how you feel and what makes your tear come down. We are very proud of you, you know it. A Catalan going upwards.

Arriba la pluja al sud / Rain arrives to the south
Es un dels topics de tots els que residim per aquestes contrades conxinxineses, el temps i si ja ha arribat la pluja i la temporada humida, aqui al sud hi ha nomes el periode sec i el periode humid.
Es fa un xic extrany pero no hi ha tanta diferencia entre les quatres estacions de l'any, ho deu fer la calor constant o l'esma d'algu que no es nat en aquests llaurers.
Is one of the topics all the Conxinxine residents have once living here, the weather and if the rain arrived and the wet season, here in the south there are the dry and wet seasons only.
It becomes a bit strange but personally do not notice the difference on the four yearly seasons, could be the constant heat or the mind of one who is not born in the land.
Les apostes, els comentaris, les coneixences, les experiences....tot sembla comptar a l'hora de fer un pronostic, els records de la pujada a l'ascensor a Santa Eugenia de Ter es fan presents, tot tan diferent i tan igual alhora, tants desgavells i retirades lluny de casa, tantes fotudes de pota vora casa....mon mondial.
The bets, the comments, the knowings, the experiences...all seems to count at the moment of forecasting, the memories of the upward elevator at Santa Eugenia de Ter are present, all so different and similar at the same time, all disasters and retirements far from home, all mistakes near home....world worldwide.
Pels visitants, hi han diferents zones de pluges al pais, mentre que al sud del maig al setembre es mes humit amb curtes tempestes...poc despres tot s'aixuga, al centre hi han les inundacions i tifons a l'agost i setembre, tot soving hi trobem pobles com Hoi An inundats i en barques pel carrer. Al nord les pluges van de juliol a setembre, tot i que el clima es mes humit i solen caure ruixats fora de temporada...
For the visitors, there are different rainy areas in the country, meanwhile in the south from may to september is more humid and with short showers,....later on all is dry again, in the center there are typhoons and floods in august and september, even with flooded villages like Hoi An with boats on the streets. In the north, the rains comes in july to september, even the weather is more humid and there are drops all even out of season...
Al bell mig de la ciutat, en un dels edificis que tothom sol passar per fer un cop d'ull, l'edifici de Correus, hi he trobat inscripcions en catala. L'edifici fou dissenyat per estudiants d'Eiffel, constructor de la torre i tambe involucrat en un dels ponts de Girona...n'es de petit el mon...
In middle downtown, in one of the buildings everyone pass by to take a look, the post office building, there are some Catalan inscriptions. The building was designed by Eiffel students, famous tower constructor, also involved in one of the Girona bridges...the world is not so big...

Catalans per Londres / Catalans in London
Les lligues i competicions s'acosten als partits importants, avui lo Barca jugant a Londres i veient si es pot accedir a la finalissima o no...semifinals de la lliga de campions es quelcom usual.
The leagues and competitions arriving to the important clashes, today Barca playing in London and looking for the spot at the great final or not...Champions league semifinals is a usual one.
Tempestes amb arbres caiguts, experiences hanoianes entre llargues setmanes, mirant les oportunitats mentre els sols pugen i es ponen, la vida a la ciutat mostra l'altra cara del joc...
Pero n'hi ha que creixen fort, que n'aprenen del que va passar ahir per aplicar-ho dema, i abans de visitar la terra nostra mirarem de lligar cordills amb doble nus.
Storms with trees down, Hanoian experiences during long weeks, watching the chances meanwhile suns are coming up and down, life in town showing the other side of the game...
But there are ones growing strong, who learn from what happened yesterday to apply it tomorrow, and before visiting our land we will tie strings with double knot.

Entrenaments vitals / Life trainings
Despres d'uns dies a la capital vietnamita, la tornada cap al sud, on la pluja, les ventades i la frescor de les pluges tropicals fa de la ciutat un altres somriure.
L'aprendre cada dia del que feu, dels somriures, de la donada de ma, de la millora, del desenvolupament....fa que dia a dia me n'adoni, reflexioni i deixi escrites quatre ratlles, aixo es el futur.
Continuen els projectes i reunions and temes laborals, i continuem assistint i recolzant a l'equip de treball en els diferents hotels.
After a few days in the Vietnamese capital, the way back to the south, where the rain, the winds and the freshness of the tropical rains transform the city with another smile.
The daily learning of what you are doing, the smiles, the giving hand, the improvement, the development...makes that every day I notice, think and write some lines, this is the future.
The projects and meetings continue, and we keep supporting and joining the team work in the different hotels.

Hanoi de nou / Newly Hanoi
Temes laborals m'han dut de nou a Hanoi uns dies per enllacar negocis. La ciutat canvia dia a dia i cada cop es fa mes patent el que tenim cada dia a Ciutat Ho Chi Minh i el que varem tenir quan viviem a la capital.
Antic personal de base que ara ja s'ha convertit en decisiu, amics que feia anys que no veiem, carrers on no hi menjavem feia molt temps, llacs que haviem anat mirant i ara veiem menys....i una filera d'antigues cases, d'edificis que poc a poc van perdent-se degut a la no-proteccio i construccio constant...
Business issues brought me back to Hanoi a few days to tie some deals. The city is changing day after day and anytime one observes what we see daily in HCMC and what we had before when we were living in the capital.
Old plain staff who now already become decision makers, old time friends after many years without meeting, streets where we were no eating after long time, lakes we saw and now see less...and a row of old houses, buildings that step by step are being lost due to no-protection and constant construction...

We used the public holidays to escape to Singapore, huge hub queen of cleanliness, multiculturality, huge properties and follow guidelines and queues constantly.

Com que un no viatja sol, la mestressa ha estat tambe el cap de setmana al centre de Vietnam. Da Nang, la ciutadella de Hoi An, compres, sopars, massatges i demes, mentre la resta ens quedavem a la Ciutat d'en Ho Chi Minh....l'empat del Barca, el partidet setmanal, els columpis de torn....anem fent, ja sabeu.

Cap al centre hi falta gent / There are people's need at the center
Dilluns d'abril, amb la primavera ja aqui, amb plugims que refresquen i son agraits pels arbres gegants de la Ciutat d'en Ho Chi Minh. Marxem cap al centre de Vietnam, on les cultures Cham i moltes altres varen conviure centuries essent l'eix vertebrador del sudest asiatic.
April's Monday, with spring already here, with sweet rains which refreshes and are appreciated by the giant trees of the City of Ho Chi Minh. We go to central Vietnam, where the Cham culture and many others arrives centuries ago being the main deck of Southeast Asia.
Apart de volar cap a Da Nang i el seu important museu dedicat a la cultura Cham i les seves reliquies, visitarem tambe Hue, antiga capital de Vietnam, on tinc previst fer un cop d'ull a les tombes menys visitades, antigues reliquies historiques. Com que ja n'hem vist tres de les mes frequentades, es temps de retre homenatge a la resta d'emperadors il.lustres de l'antic Vietnam.
Aside of flying to Da Nang and its important museum focused in the Cham culture and its relics, we will visit also Hue, ancient capital of Vietnam, where I am planning to keep an eye to the less visited tombs, old historical relics. As I saw already the most visites, is time to do tribute to the rest of well known emperors of ancient Vietnam.
El tercer dia visitarem les terres altes, volant cap a Buon Me Thuot, un dels principals productors de cafe del pais, d'antigues tribus que encara no tinc control.lades ni visualitzades. Les seves cases caracteristiques, els seus balls i dances tradicionals, les seves vestimentes, l'antiga preso i cementiri....
The third day we will visit the highlands, flying to Buon Me Thuot, one of the main coffee producers from the country, with all minorities that I have not been looking and checked. Their own characteristics, its dances and tradicional celebrations, its clothing, the old prison and cemetery.
Fotos a la tornada, una bona sortida de camp, sens dubte.
Pictures when back, a good field reserach, without doubt.
El Barca ha guanyat fora i es a vuit punts, despres de que els entrenadors parlants hagin perdut zero-un amb la gent de Gijon, fantastiques noticies avui.
Barca won away and is 8 points ahead, after talking coaches lost zero-one to Gijon people, great news today.

Visita a Siam i tsunami nipo / Siam's visit and nippon tsunami
Despres de alguns mesos sense fer cap visita a terres siameses, vam tornar a trepitjar Bangkok durant tres dies. Visites de rigor, sortides a les nits, i degustacions de les especies de rigor tant trobades a faltar, fan que ens vingui molt de gust anar visitant la ciutat, no gaire lluny de Ciutat Ho Chi Minh.
After a couple of months without any visit to Siamese land, we came back to step in Bangkok during three days. Recommended visits, out at night and taste of the beloved spices always missed, shows an enjoyment visiting the city, not to far from Ho Chi Minh City.
We found Vietnamese friends, Germans and Philipinos living in Bangkok, and Ta and her friend Pung who kindly showed us the palaca and its crowd, friends from Hong Kong from South America and the peninsula, a good mix to enjoy markets, narrow streets and hot weather.
Hem trobat companys vietnamites, alemanys i filipins vivint a Bangkok, a la Ta que ens ha dut a veure el palau i tota la gentada amb la seva amiga Pung, amics honkonesos de sudamerica i la peninsula, un bon mix per gaudir del mercadeig, dels carrerons i de la calor.

Pell fina Thin skin
Manel Bargalló
10/08/2010
Els catalans tenim la pell fina. No sabem discutir entre nosaltres sense arribar fàcilment a tirar-nos els trastos pel cap. Suposo que és l’herència cultural dels llatins i també de la cultura aràbiga. Sempre recordaré com un dia escoltant per la radio, un periodista expert del món àrab, explicava que una crida que feia un líder d’Hamàs, a on semblava per les expressions que deia que seria del tot impossible una treva amb els isrelians, hi ha via possibilitats que finalment hi hagués la pau. El periodista deia que els àrabs són molt exagerats i apassionats quan fan discursos públics. Nosaltres com occidentals no saben llegir sota les grans expressions grandiloqüents de desqualificacions i amenaces, els matisos que deixen entreveure un missatge a favor de la negociació.
The Catalans have a thin skin. We do not know how to discuss between us without arriving to thrown it all by our heads. I suppose this is the Latin cultural heritage and also the Arab culture. Will always remember how one day listening the raido, an Arab world expert journalist, explained that a recall a Hamas leader was doing, where seems the expressions he was telling shows that would be impossible to have a deal with Israelians, there were possibilities of finding a final peace. The journalist said that the Arabs are very exagerated and passionate when they discuss in public. We as westerners we do not know how to read the great grandiloquent expressions with underqualifications and warnings, the tones that shows the messages favouring the negociations.
Penso que els catalans som propens a caure a l’exageració i apassionament quan discutim a semblança dels que viuen a l’altra riba del mediterrani. Ho fem amb el futbol i també amb la política. Sobretot amb la política independentista.
I think that the Catalans we are close to fall down in the exageration and passion when we discuss, similar to the feeling at the other side of the Mediterranean. We do that with football and with politics. Moreover with the independent politics.
He escrit una sèrie d’articles al meu bloc personal sobre els lideratges que necessitem els catalans per esdevenir lliures. Remarco la necessitat que siguin honest i honrats, però també reflexiono sobre la nostra història i entorn natural ens ha condicionat la nostra manera de ser.
I write a couple of articles in my personal blog about the leadership we the Catalans need to become free. I recall the need of being honest and faithful, but also think about our history and natural environment which surely affects the way we are.
Però independentment dels lideratges, penso que nosaltres, els que som gent normal, que estem seguint la política no per ambicions polítiques, sinó que hi som perquè volen ajudar que la nostra nació esdevingui lliure i sobirana, hauríem de fer un exercici d’autocontrol per no caure amb l’apassionament i l’exageració com ho fem amb el futbol. No podem caure amb la trampa d’atacar-nos fins l’extrem que sorgeixi un rebuig entre nosaltres més per qüestions personals d’afinitats a uns colors, que racionals. Un rebuig irracional que a molts el hi provoca la contradicció de ser capaços de voler veure com l’adversari polític perd encara que això perjudiqui l’objectiu comú a favor de la independència de Catalunya.
But independently of leaderships, I think that us, the ones who are normal people, who follow the politic not but political ambitions, if not cause we wish to help to our nation to become free and independent, should prepare and autocontrol exercise in order to avoid to fall into the passion and overconsideration as we do with the football. We can not fall into the trap of attacking ourselves until the point that grows among us a refuse feeling more by personal questions linked to some colors, than rationals. A non rational refuse that to many cause a contradiction of being able to see how the political oponent looses even that this fact comes against the mutual objective required but the independence of Catalonia.
Tampoc això vol dir, que no es pugi criticar constructivament als qui considerem els adversaris polítics però que persegueixen els mateixos objectius que nosaltres. Penso que no és dolent la critica constructiva i sempre hauria de ser acceptada per tothom. La critica serveix per millorar i el fet de rebre hauria de ser acceptada com un favor. Lògicament no estic parlant d’insults o desqualificacions personals.
Neither means that we can not critisize positively to the considered political oponents but follow the same objectives as us. I think the constructive critic is not bad and supposed to be accepted by anyone. The critic serves to improve and the fact suppose to be accepted as a favor. Logically do not talk about bad words or personal desqualifications.
No es pot aconseguir realment la unitat si cada grup es mostra impermeable i no accepta les critiques de l’altre. Encara menys quan aquesta critica o la resposta a la critica, es faci fora del raciocini i només es basi per les afinitats emocionals respecte als lideratges de cadascun dels grups o partits. No té sentit que nosaltres, els que teòricament no ens va ni ens ve qui aconseguirà la independència sinó que el que volem és que finalment s’aconsegueixi, prendre partit per una opció fins l’extrem de sentir-se personalment atacat quan algú la critica. Hauriem d’escoltar o llegir positivament aquesta critica per mirar de millorar l’entesa entre nosaltres.
We can not achieve the unity if every group is locked and does not accept the other critics. Even less when this critic or critical reply, is out of sense or only based in our emotional feelings versus the leadership of any o the groups or political parties. There is no sense that us, the ones who do not really care who will achieve the independence but we wish to achieve it finally, take one or another option till the corner of feeling personally attacked when someone critisize it. We should listen and read positively this critical in order to improve our understanding.
Els que no tenim interès personal amb el moviment independentista, ja sigui per la vanitat de ser protagonista o per ambicions polítiques, hem de mirar de tenir el cap fred i no caure al terreny emocional. Hem de mirar de no tenir la pell fina i a la primera divergència sentin-nos atacats o insultats. Perquè no oblideu que aquests que s’erigeixen com a líders, que fan grans discursos i aparentment semblen molt apassionats quan defensen les seves postures dels seus pròpis partits o grups, tenen la pell morta. La tenen ben morta, perquè si no la tinguessin no haurien arribat mai a ser líders.
The ones who have no personal interest with the independent movement, even by vanity of being the heroe or by political ambitions, should look to have a cold head and not fall into the emotional land. We should not have a thin skin and feel attacked by the first different idea we listen. In order not to forget that these ones who becomes leaders, providing speeches and even seems very passionate when they defend their points in their own parties and groups, all them have the dead skin. It it well dead, otherwise they would never become leaders.

Sempre recordaré com un dia escoltant per la radio, un periodista expert del món àrab, explicava que una crida que feia un líder d’Hamàs, a on semblava per les expressions que deia que seria del tot impossible una treva amb els isrelians, hi ha via possibilitats que finalment hi hagués la pau. El periodista deia que els àrabs són molt exagerats i apassionats quan fan discursos públics. Nosaltres com occidentals no saben llegir sota les grans expressions grandiloqüents de desqualificacions i amenaces, els matisos que deixen entreveure un missatge a favor de la negociació.
The Catalans have a thin skin. We do not know how to discuss between us without arriving to thrown it all by our heads. I suppose this is the Latin cultural heritage and also the Arab culture. Will always remember how one day listening the raido, an Arab world expert journalist, explained that a recall a Hamas leader was doing, where seems the expressions he was telling shows that would be impossible to have a deal with Israelians, there were possibilities of finding a final peace. The journalist said that the Arabs are very exagerated and passionate when they discuss in public. We as westerners we do not know how to read the great grandiloquent expressions with underqualifications and warnings, the tones that shows the messages favouring the negociations.
Penso que els catalans som propens a caure a l’exageració i apassionament quan discutim a semblança dels que viuen a l’altra riba del mediterrani. Ho fem amb el futbol i també amb la política. Sobretot amb la política independentista.
I think that the Catalans we are close to fall down in the exageration and passion when we discuss, similar to the feeling at the other side of the Mediterranean. We do that with football and with politics. Moreover with the independent politics.
He escrit una sèrie d’articles al meu bloc personal sobre els lideratges que necessitem els catalans per esdevenir lliures. Remarco la necessitat que siguin honest i honrats, però també reflexiono sobre la nostra història i entorn natural ens ha condicionat la nostra manera de ser.
I write a couple of articles in my personal blog about the leadership we the Catalans need to become free. I recall the need of being honest and faithful, but also think about our history and natural environment which surely affects the way we are.
Però independentment dels lideratges, penso que nosaltres, els que som gent normal, que estem seguint la política no per ambicions polítiques, sinó que hi som perquè volen ajudar que la nostra nació esdevingui lliure i sobirana, hauríem de fer un exercici d’autocontrol per no caure amb l’apassionament i l’exageració com ho fem amb el futbol. No podem caure amb la trampa d’atacar-nos fins l’extrem que sorgeixi un rebuig entre nosaltres més per qüestions personals d’afinitats a uns colors, que racionals. Un rebuig irracional que a molts el hi provoca la contradicció de ser capaços de voler veure com l’adversari polític perd encara que això perjudiqui l’objectiu comú a favor de la independència de Catalunya.
But independently of leaderships, I think that us, the ones who are normal people, who follow the politic not but political ambitions, if not cause we wish to help to our nation to become free and independent, should prepare and autocontrol exercise in order to avoid to fall into the passion and overconsideration as we do with the football. We can not fall into the trap of attacking ourselves until the point that grows among us a refuse feeling more by personal questions linked to some colors, than rationals. A non rational refuse that to many cause a contradiction of being able to see how the political oponent looses even that this fact comes against the mutual objective required but the independence of Catalonia.
Tampoc això vol dir, que no es pugi criticar constructivament als qui considerem els adversaris polítics però que persegueixen els mateixos objectius que nosaltres. Penso que no és dolent la critica constructiva i sempre hauria de ser acceptada per tothom. La critica serveix per millorar i el fet de rebre hauria de ser acceptada com un favor. Lògicament no estic parlant d’insults o desqualificacions personals.
Neither means that we can not critisize positively to the considered political oponents but follow the same objectives as us. I think the constructive critic is not bad and supposed to be accepted by anyone. The critic serves to improve and the fact suppose to be accepted as a favor. Logically do not talk about bad words or personal desqualifications.
No es pot aconseguir realment la unitat si cada grup es mostra impermeable i no accepta les critiques de l’altre. Encara menys quan aquesta critica o la resposta a la critica, es faci fora del raciocini i només es basi per les afinitats emocionals respecte als lideratges de cadascun dels grups o partits. No té sentit que nosaltres, els que teòricament no ens va ni ens ve qui aconseguirà la independència sinó que el que volem és que finalment s’aconsegueixi, prendre partit per una opció fins l’extrem de sentir-se personalment atacat quan algú la critica. Hauriem d’escoltar o llegir positivament aquesta critica per mirar de millorar l’entesa entre nosaltres.
We can not achieve the unity if every group is locked and does not accept the other critics. Even less when this critic or critical reply, is out of sense or only based in our emotional feelings versus the leadership of any o the groups or political parties. There is no sense that us, the ones who do not really care who will achieve the independence but we wish to achieve it finally, take one or another option till the corner of feeling personally attacked when someone critisize it. We should listen and read positively this critical in order to improve our understanding.
Els que no tenim interès personal amb el moviment independentista, ja sigui per la vanitat de ser protagonista o per ambicions polítiques, hem de mirar de tenir el cap fred i no caure al terreny emocional. Hem de mirar de no tenir la pell fina i a la primera divergència sentin-nos atacats o insultats. Perquè no oblideu que aquests que s’erigeixen com a líders, que fan grans discursos i aparentment semblen molt apassionats quan defensen les seves postures dels seus pròpis partits o grups, tenen la pell morta. La tenen ben morta, perquè si no la tinguessin no haurien arribat mai a ser líders.
The ones who have no personal interest with the independent movement, even by vanity of being the heroe or by political ambitions, should look to have a cold head and not fall into the emotional land. We should not have a thin skin and feel attacked by the first different idea we listen. In order not to forget that these ones who becomes leaders, providing speeches and even seems very passionate when they defend their points in their own parties and groups, all them have the dead skin. It it well dead, otherwise they would never become leaders.

Vaixell enfonsat / Sunk boat
Fa uns dies que s'en parla, i s'en fara resso a moltes destinacions, un dels vaixells de la badia de Ha Long es va enfonsar i es va endur a varis visitants sota aigua, diverses nacionalitats. Ara culpa teva, culpa meva i demes...pero la companyia que es fa carrec ja havia tingut incidents abans, aixi que recomanacio, viatjar sobre segur amb les companyies serioses, garantia total.
Few days talking about it, and many destinations will talk about it too, one of the Ha Long Bay boats sunk and brought several visitors under water, several nationalities. Now your fault, my fault and over...but the company in charge had previous incidents, then a recommendation, travel fully insured with the serious companies, full warranty.

Chinese New Year 2011 in Pictures
Aquest any he gaudit com mai l'any nou lunar de Hanoi. La brisa fresca, que no fred, les fulles dels arbres caient mentre sopavem al carrer, els bufals pastant vora edificis de vuitanta pisos, la gent vestida de gala arreu, la familia amb cinc generacions a la taula gaudint del menjar i del beure com d'habitud, les fabuloses vietnamites del nord en mitges i sense casc per no espatllar-se el pentinat d'any nou...gairebe havia oblidat el gust que dona anar en dues rodes sense casc, a vegades a vint quilometres per hora, pero aixo no cal dir-ho.
This year I enjoyed like never the new lunar new year in Hanoi. The fresh breeze, not cold, the trees leaves falling down meanwhile we were dining on the street, the buffaloes waiting around near eighty floors buildings, the well-dressed people everywhere, the five generations family at the table enjoying food and drink as usual, the gourgeous northern Vietnamese girls in stockings and without helmet in order not to destroy the hair-dresser time for new year...I nearly forgot the pleasure of riding on two wheels without helmet, sometimes at 20 quilometers per hour, but we do not need to say so.

I ja figuren les flors, els dibuixos dels gats i demes parafernalia que dona la benvinguda a l'any del gat, seguint el calendari lunar. Primer any a la historia en que gaudeixo de 10 dies de festa per un any nou, mai m'havia passat i mirarem de gaudir-ne el maxim de cada dia, sense guardies, sense clients,....amb moltes ganes.

Catalunya, un nou estat europeu / Catalonia, a new European state
By Joan Puigcercós on Thu, 21/10/2010 - 20:37
Twenty-four years after joining the European Union (EU), the EU still does not officially recognise our language, the Catalan language. Spain and its representatives have made all kinds of efforts to avoid this recognition during all these years. They do not care, and are not at all bothered that Gaelic, which is spoken by some 70,000 people, is already an official EU language. They do not want to see the Catalan language reach this status, though it is spoken by more than 9 million European citizens. Catalan is the 8th most spoken language in the EU, with a demographic and cultural strength far superior to many official languages in Europe. Recognising the Catalan language’s official status would mean recognising that the Spanish State is a plural reality with several languages. And one of them, the second in demographic weight and also in terms of vitality, is Catalan. However, despite this, it is underestimated.
Despite this severe lack of recognition by Europe regarding our national identity, Catalans have a deep pro-European feeling. We have always been enthusiastic participants of the European construction process. We are so participative and enthusiastic that we want to contribute to it directly, firsthand. Europe’s future is not only going through an external enlargement (Croatia, Serbia, Iceland, Turkey, etc.), but it is also experiencing an internal enlargement (Scotland, Flanders, Catalonia, etc.). Catalans, as the Scots or the Flemish, want to able to become, when our citizenry expresses so in a democratic and pacific way, a new European Union Member State.
From Barcelona, from Catalonia and from the Catalan Countries, we have always seen Europe as a space for convergence, for political and economic unity, a common space for participation. From Madrid and from Spain, they have always seen Europe as a source of funding. It must be mentioned that they have been incapable of fostering a harmonic development, as the current economic crisis has shown. The crisis is affecting the Spanish State more harshly than all of its European neighbours.
The Spanish State is thought of from Madrid and for Madrid’s benefit, with radial infrastructures that make everything go through Madrid. This has turned Madrid into a great capital of the financial and speculative economy, which is opposite from the Catalan Countries’ Mediterranean axe (Catalonia, València and the Balearic Islands). This axe drives the industrial and productive economy of the Spanish State. The Madrid-Seville axe has been united by high-speed trains for almost 20 years now while the Barcelona-València connection, the main freight corridor of the Southern Mediterranean, remains to be constructed.
Having our own state within the European and world concert is the only way of being identified and treated as we are: a nation. Because nowadays, despite being a nation, we do not have our own state that may project us into the world. We are still an unknown people. This is despite the fact that our capital, Barcelona, is one of the most dynamic and prosperous cities of Europe and the entire Mediterranean Sea.
And it is so despite the economic plundering that Catalonia suffers from the Spanish State, which has been calculated to more than 10% of our GDP. It is an unsustainable situation that puts our economy and citizens’ welfare in jeopardy.

Catalonia National Team play vs Honduras National Team / L'equip nacional de Catalunya juga contra l'equip nacional d'Hondures
Dema vespre Catalunya jugara contra Hondures, equip que va participar al darrer mundial de Sudafrica.
Tomorrow night Catalonia will play vs Honduras, team which participated in last South African world cup.
Aqui podeu veure un article de http://www.elperiodico.cat/, on hi han alguns equips espanyols que no han permes als seus jugadors jugar amb l'equip nacional de Catalunya, fantastica ment oberta que teniu.
Here you see an article from http://www.elperiodico.cat/, there are some Spanish teams who did not allow their players to play with Catalonia's national team, fantastic open mind you have.
Catalunya, entre el negre i el blanc 27 de desembre del 2010
Vestir de negre, amb una àmplia franja quadribarrada baixant des de l'espatlla esquerra, o lluir la samarreta blanca, amb la creu de Sant Jordi al costat esquerre del pit. Aquest és el dilema, purament estètic, que té Catalunya davant l'amistós de demà contra Hondures a l'estadi Lluís Companys.
La tria de l'equipatge que durà la selecció està en mans dels aficionats, que poden votar quin volen que exhibeixi l'onze de Johan Cruyff a través de la web de la Federació Catalana de Futbol (FCF). La compra d'una de les dues samarretes porta de regal afegit una entrada per al partit. L'assistència de públic tornarà a ser una de les preocupacions dels dirigents.
La selecció, necessitada d'una empenta afectuosa i a la vegada reivindicativa, tindrà el suport d'Artur Mas. El líder de CiU, que avui prendrà possessió del seu càrrec de president de la Generalitat, reserva el seu primer acte oficial per a Montjuïc. La seva presència reforçarà l'acte reinvidicatiu que promou Òmnium Cultural a favor del català després de la sentència del Tribunal Suprem que estableix el castellà com a llengua vehicular als col·legis.
Hondures, que té cinc futbolistes que van participar en el Mundial de Sud-àfrica, va arribar ahir a Barcelona i avui s'entrenarà a Montjuïc. Cruyff rebrà demà els seus homes. La seva plantilla està repartida equitativament amb set representants del Barça i set més de l'Espanyol. Sis equips (Sevilla, València, Vila-real, Getafe, Almeria i Màlaga) van vetar la convocatòria dels jugadors catalans.
Honduras, which has five players who played in South African world cup, arrived yesterday (Sunday) to Barcelona and today will train at Monjuic stadium. Cruyff (Catalan coach) will receive the players tomorrow (Tuesday). The team is shared equally by seven Barca players and seven Espanyol players. Six teams (Sevilla, Valencia, Vila-real, Getafe, Almeria and Malaga) did not approve the Catalan players transfer.

Fortes pluges a Hanoi / Strong rain in Hanoi
Sembla pel que diuen els noticiaris que a Hanoi les passen magres, un metre d'aigua en carrers principals com Ly Thuong Kiet no es facil d'imaginar.
By the latest news seems than Hanoi is suffering, a meter of water in main roads like Ly Thuong Kiet is not easy to imagine.
D'altra banda, els creuers pel riu vermell s'estan posant de moda, haurem de probar-los quan baixi la calor. Una visita a la capital sempre fa de bon fer.

On the other hand, the cruises by the Red river are getting on the mood, we will need to try them when the heat comes down. A visit to the capital is always a good thing to do.
Vam visitar dissabte la platja de Ciutat Ho Chi Minh, a mes o menys una horeta tens la illa dels monos, els cocodrils i les mangroves on s'amagava la guerrilla vietnamita que va lluitar amb diversos invasors, els hem fet fora a tots, no oblideu.
We visited last Saturday the Ho Chi Minh City beach, around an hour drive you have the monkey island, the crocodriles and mangrooves where the Vietnamese guerrilla was hidden while defending from diverse invaders, we kick all them out, do not forget that.
La platja es un xic fangosa, hi han molts rius a la vora, pero s'hi veuen els crancs i la gent gaudint de debo. Tots ens ho vam passar bomba, relacionar-te internacionalment fa que vagis amb gent de Singapur, amb gent d'India, amb vietnamites amb passats nordamericans...i aixo, la veritat, et fa veure el mon d'una altra manera i t'enriqueix mes que molt.
Asseure's a fer un cafe vietnamita en les parades tipiques, amb els diaris tipics, amb els cafes tipics, cadires tipiques...et fa olorar la vida rural, semblant a la de Prades, nomes cinc-cents habitants...Trobo a faltar al Iaio i la Iaia, ara a millor vida, i l'olor de herba jove, castanyes i genolls pelats...
Asseure's a fer un cafe vietnamita en les parades tipiques, amb els diaris tipics, amb els cafes tipics, cadires tipiques...et fa olorar la vida rural, semblant a la de Prades, nomes cinc-cents habitants...Trobo a faltar al Iaio i la Iaia, ara a millor vida, i l'olor de herba jove, castanyes i genolls pelats...
The beach is a bit muddy, there are rivers near, but you can see the crabs and the people enjoying a lot. All us enjoy a lot, to keep relationship internationally means you go with Singaporian, with Indian people, with Vietnamese with North American ancestors...and that, to be honest, makes you see the world in another way and enrich you much more.
Sitting to enjoy a Vietnamese coffee in the typical parades, with the typical newspapers, with the typical coffees, typical chairs...makes you smell the rural life, similar to Prades in Catalonia, with only five hundred inhabitants....I miss Grandpa and Grandma, now in better life, and the smell of young grass, chessnuts and bloody knees....

Les ultimes dues setmanes i mitja hem tingut el gust de rebre a la mare a Vietnam per primer cop, esperem que no sigui l'ultim perque ens ho hem passat molt be. En Jordi Nam i la Raquel Anh no volen que marxis, avui tens el vol cap a casa en aquesta Europa congelada de fred, i diuen que vagis a buscar el gos a Girona i tornis cap aqui.
Hem estat a Ciutat Ho Chi Minh, en moto, taxi, bus i demes, cap al nord a Hanoi i a visitar la badia de Halong en vaixell, coves incloses, i tambe dos dies i mig a la illa de Phu Quoc, on hem estat molt i molt be. Piscina tot el dia, jacuzzi, platja i demes, mentre a Prades, diu l'oncle Joan que sou a sis graus al migdia....fa vindre pell de gallina.
En fi, nomes deixar-ho anotat al bloc per la posteritat i animar als que esteu a punt de venir a gaudir del pais i tot el que te per oferir-vos.
The last two and a half weeks we had the pleasure of receiving Mum here in Vietnam for the very first time, hope will not be the last cause we all enjoyed a lot. Jordi Nam and Raquel Anh do not want you to go, today you have the flight to this frozen Europe, and they say that you must pick up the dog in Girona and come back here.
We had been in Ho Chi Minh City, by bike, taxi, bus and over, to the north to Hanoi and visit Halong bay by boat, caves included, and also two and a half days in Phu Quoc island, where we had been really well. Swimming pool whole day, jacuzzi, beach and over, meanwhile in Prades, uncle Joan said you have six degrees at noon, my skin gets erected.
Just blog it for the posterior record and wish the best for all the ones who are planning to come to enjoy the country and all it has to offer to you.

Catalunya independent? / Independent Catalonia?
Desde fa molts anys es una questio que dona moltes voltes, n'hi ha que ho recolzen, n'hi ha que ho rebutgen, pero principalment n'hi ha que entenen els pros/contres de la situacio.
Since many years is a question which turns around, some supports to it, others refuse it, but basically there is someone who understand the positive/negative of the situation.
Ningu esta content pagant mes, pagant sobretaxes sense rebre gaire a canvi.
No-one is happy paying more, being overtaxed without receiving much.
Jo continuo exposant les preguntes per a tu, lector i seguidor del bloc, tu ets el que ha d'evaluar i fer les teves opinions, es el teu torn.
I continue exposing the questions to you, reader and blog follower, you should evaluate and make your own decisions, this is your turn.
Rumia i decideix / Think and decide

Eleccions, catalans a Vietnam / Elections, Catalans in Vietnam
Com promes, diumenge passat es van fer eleccions a Catalunya amb canvis de govern. Esperem que el politiqueig s'acabi i comencin a fer les coses un xic com cal.
As promised, last Sunday were the Catalan elections with government changes. Hope the politic games do finsih and starting to do the things a bit as supposed to be.
Avui mateix, s'organitza la primera trobada de Catalans a Vietnam. Despres de la festa i trobada amb la resta de comunitat, avui ens assentarem a tastar especialitats catalanes.
Today itself, it is organized the first Catalans in Vietnam meeting. After the party and meeting with the rest of community, today will sit to try the Catalan specialties.
La mare arriba d'aqui a tres dies per veure com va tot aquest Vietnam.
Mum arrives in three days to see how all this Vietnam is going.
Masses raons per tornar a publicar, i espero continuar tot sovint per a tothom.
Too many reasons to re-start publishing, and hope to continue often for everyone.
Gracies Tiffany per la forca i contacte, les fotos que m'has enviat il.lustren el tema d avui, Aloha.
