In Cameroun, you have CamRail, CamAir, CamLait... all is CAM!! The asset of a socialist country, where everything is state-owned!<br /><br />In Yaounde in 2003, I watched the movie <a href="http://www.africultures.com/anglais/articles_anglais/44senegal.htm">Little Senegal.</a> It is a movie about.. read it at the link.. highly recommended.<br /><br />Now, I found little Cameroun in New York.. have a look at the pics! The empire is striking back, CamFuel is capturing the US and breaking the US Oil Industry, the evil of the World! Great, eh? ,)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.subin.org/uploaded_images/IMGP2767-721610.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.subin.org/uploaded_images/IMGP2767-719114.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.subin.org/uploaded_images/IMGP2768-782303.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 1px 1px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.subin.org/uploaded_images/IMGP2768-779883.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.subin.org/uploaded_images/IMGP2769-770920.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 1px 1px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.subin.org/uploaded_images/IMGP2769-768089.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.subin.org/uploaded_images/IMGP2771-738913.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.subin.org/uploaded_images/IMGP2771-736421.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.subin.org/uploaded_images/IMGP2770-797127.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://www.subin.org/uploaded_images/IMGP2770-794915.JPG" alt="" border="0" /></a>Since I had my camera along, and this Camerounaise Truck was in front of my house... you know, I am a big Eintracht Fan.. and the next two pics are a tribute to our goal getter, our Sushi Bomber Naohito Takahara!

(<a href="http://www.nitinsawhney.com%29/">www.nitinsawhney.com</a>). This guy is terrific.. unbelievable! What deep words and sounds about migration, violence, development etc. in his music.. his albums (Beyond Skin, Prophesy, Human, Philtre, Spirit Dance, Migration, Displace the Priest, etc.) cannot be ranked, because they are all as great and better than each other at the same time.. but see him life! I saw him twice in London (once in Hackney, the second time I forgot where), and the concerts even beat the albums, as they have an excellent juxtaposition of visuals with sound.. hard to believe.. you oughta see him..!<br /><br />Here is a sample of his music (a video I found on Youtube).. enjoy!! Music is my world, my refuge, my soul asylum..!<br /><br /><object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/etvf4wUFzK0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/etvf4wUFzK0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>Subintag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913167394027021506.post-34468388438446964202007-02-14T15:23:00.000-05:002007-02-14T15:34:15.432-05:00People:<br /><br />Isn't this music video heart breaking..?
