Fear Factor : Flying in Indonesia _ D A N G E R !

S.O.S. = Save Our Soul -- Mayday - Mayday - Mayday . . ...- . . . - . . Mayday = Panggilan internasional dengan radio minta bantuan dari sebuah kapal atau pesawat terbang. Seorang ekspatriat yang tinggal di Jakarta menulis artikel ini. FYI. Pada waktu saya kembali dari liburan di Bali, saya menggunakan Adam Air rute Denpasar - Jakarta. Saya mendengar maskapai yang relatif baru ini dari beberapa teman, yang menyebutkan bahwa maskapai ini mempunyai pesawat-pesawat yang relatif baru dan diijinkan terbang ke Singapura. Kedengarannya maskapai ini sangatlah bagus, khususnya jika menyangkut masalah tiket sekali jalan yang hanya Rp. 295.00,- yang sedikit lebih mahal dari penerbangan "metro-mini" Lion Air. Penawaran ini sangat bagus, berdasarkan pengalaman saya tinggal beberapa tahun di Indonesia. Tapi kemudian saya mulai berfikir bahwa ini terlalu bagus dan pasti ada yang salah dengan semua ini.

Making life “easy “ for children usually makes life “ hard” for them in adulthood

From Priyalinov@gmail com Del Smith, the millionaire founder and chairman of Evergreen International Aviation , has often said , "Thank God I was born poor ; I learned how to work".

And as I walk your streets, I miss home Where there was no blood of the poor I guess you don't like me anymore Because I oppose your wars of conquest And the price to pay as you trail The footsteps of predatory Uncle Sam Where is my flag, you ask Or do you forget there's a hole in my heart Big enough for a bullet to pass As you rip the carcass of the dead? Beasts are nursed in your clinics But humanity is shattered abroad And Hiba was a child, what do you suppose? O free country, have you seen my friend? O free country, make a thousand amends! I stumble in the dark with your crimes My only respite is to speak out time after time You say I am a supporter of terrorism You say I'm anti
