Ruta VAP (1): I believe in Africa
This makes me doubt the desirability of international cooperation and the future of this continent. Few meters separate a glimpse of another Africa. Is South Africa the model to follow? It is the European colonization responsible for African problems?
South Africa: in no man's land fucking
South Africa is highly developed, too much for his photos with friends to show that he has a moral commitment to misery and yesterday. There are no tribes, no mud roads on which to boast that the car stopped, no reed huts in which lives are accumulated without water or light.

The Great White Shark: Panic in South Africa
A watching her open mouth seemed to see me hell himself. The great white shark governs the waters between the Atlantic and Indian Ocean, as if to bring the life of the seas. It moves with the calm of a serial murderer and has dead eyes, black, as death.
