 broken... everything by cochinjew the years of internal struggle, after a glorious struggle against the portuguese colonialism, has left the country devastated. everywhere one looks there are signs of destruction and man made disasters. it is admirable that mozambicans are so easy going and friendly to foreigners, especially south africans, after such maltreatment.

The current Mozambique flag was officially adopted on May 1, 1983. It consists of three equal horizontal bands of green (top), black, and yellow with a red isosceles triangle on what is called the ‘hoist’ side. The Green colour stands for agriculture, Red sybolises the struggle for independence, White denotes peace and Yellow denotes mineral wealth. The central Black strip represents the African continent. The official emblem of Mozambique is displayed on the red triangle. In the centre of the triangle is a five-pointed star bearing a crossed AK-47 rifle and hoe in black superimposed on an open white book The crossed gun and ploughshare symbol is an influence of the Marxist FRELIMO party.

Beer 2M is doing a contest among its costumers. Four trips are available to watch in Portugal the Benfica x Sporting football match. Both Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Sporting Clube de Portugal are two major football (soccer in the USA) teams from Lisbon, Portugal's capital. I'm sure the fact that the Portuguese Football League is close followed by general Mozambican citizens has originated 2M's marketing department to come up with is contest. Four 2-person trips are to be given away. To participate consumers over 18 years old do only need to gathered 3 bottle tops (one with the word 2M, other whit a airplane, and a third one with a ball), put those 3 bottle tops inside an envelope, fill the form of the envelope, and place it inside the 2M boxes that are available in all on-premise beer point-of-sales. And that's it !!! (Envelopes are providing by the on-premise beer point-of-sale, aka bares & restaurants). The bottle tops combination is: 2M + Airplane + Football. The contest runs until January 10, 2007. The draw is on January 18, 2007. And the Benfica x Sporting match is on April 29, 2007.

Rondovals are round houses with thatch roofs. Across Mozambique you will see authentic all-thatch Rondovals. They are small and without walls inside. They remain cool because of the large openings and shade they provide. Properly made thatch can survive even the wettest rains and still stay dry inside. Leave a Comment

by MarioPortugal Mozambique - all of its 2,500 km (approx. 1,550 miles) Sea Coast borders with the Indian Ocean. After the Atlantic (nearby my home village) and the Pacific (in 1998), the Indian was the third Ocean that I personally got the privilege to swim in (in 2006). ---- from Wikipedia --- "The Indian Ocean is the third largest body of water in the world, covering about 20% of the Earth's water surface".

 FIREWOOD by DAO All along the roads in rural areas you see goods for sell from firewood (pictured) to fruit, carvings, cashew nuts and something that looks like coloured local firewater. Don't worry that you do not see anyone attending the "store". Even slowing down seems to produce at least one person and usually 5-6 inquisitive children. Cashews are roasted and unsalted. They are absolutely delicious. Like any good roadside market, you have to bargain! Leave a Comment
