BRAZIL PREPARES FOR TOURIST BOOM

Brazil is preparing for major tourist invasion as two of the worlds biggest sporting events will be organized in the country in
the coming years. The 2014 Football World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro.
Brazil is expecting twice the number of visitors that it has in normal years. In 2010, about 5 million visitors came to the
country. That is a very low number compared to France which has almost 80 million visitors a year and the US with 60 million.
There are two main reasons why Brazil has not been a popular tourist destination. First, it is far away from Europe and flight
costs make it an expensive place to go to. Secondly, the countrys crime rate has discouraged many potential tourists.
Brazils economy is successful and the money that it is generating is being invested in infrastructure and projects for the
future. Airports are being improved, roads are being built and public transportation expanded. New hotels are being
constructed and more and more people are being employed in tourism-related jobs.
The Brazilian government hopes that these sporting events will give the country a great tourism expansion. Once tourists are
in the country, they should not only concentrate on the sporting events but also on the spectacular attractions that Brazil has
to offer, like the Iguacu Falls in the south, or the Amazon rainforest in the north and central parts of the country. During the
two big events police forces supported by army units will be patrolling the streets to give visitors the feeling of safety.
(Adapted article from http://www.english-online.at)

MUSSELS

Rich in high-quality proteins and minerals like iron, zinc, potassium and
phosphorus, mussels are a luxury rich in nutrition. They feed us, of course, but they also
support many people: It is calculated that in Galicia around 18,000 people make their
living from the millions of orange bivalves that grow by the millions in the 3,200 cages
staked throughout the regions rias, or saltwater inlets.
Egg-laying takes place in March and in early summer. Three months later, the
tiny larvae that havent been eaten by predators affix themselves to rocks on the coast.
There workers begin collecting the mussels one by one. The next step is the cage: the
bivalves are attached to cords with a kind of biodegradable sling and then submerged
under a platform. Within a year, the mussels weight will have increased by a factor of
ten. They then select the largest ones and return them to the cord where they continue to
mature for at least another year.
In the factory, the culinary process is short and simple. The bivalves are steamed
and then shelled, and quick-fried to get rid of all remaining body water. From there they
go to a tin to swim in brine and await their unquestioned moment of glory, the cocktail
hour.

e-PIRACY

The music industry has announced an intensification of its campaign against illegal
downloads and file-sharing. They say that we should buy music online legitimately, instead of
risking the legal consequences of an illegal action. There are now more than 100 legal online
music sites in Europe offering more than one million songs.
