Hmm, a rather freaky story about a German traveller who probably had been eaten by some tribesmen in South Pacific Nuku Hiva Island.
He set off on 2008 with his girlfriend and traversed the globe looking for paradise - but it took a horrible twist when he reached Nuku Hiva in French Polynesia.The remote tropical island was the last place Mr Ramin was seen before remains, believed to be his, were uncovered. Experts believe he was "hacked to pieces and burned" and eaten by suspected cannibals. Testing will conclude whether the ashes belong to Mr Ramin, Radio New Zealand International reported.
Adventures aside, it's probably a bad idea to hop off an unknown Island because you'll never know what to expect: toxic plants or wild carnivores that's going to eat you. But this time, the cannibal has probably got this man eaten alive. Tourists, be warned!
Royal fans and Anglo-Celtic Australians rejoice! Her Majesty The Queen will be visiting Australia, followed by a Brisbane tour on next Monday. Prepare yourself with long-range cameras and join the crowd! But sadly, this low-key visit might be her last. While sharing the joy of her arrival, I, as a foreign student, I looked behind the whole fuss and had a read about her influence to the Australian society.
When the Queen first stepped ashore here in 1954 she was an innocent 26, a radiant, newly crowned titular head of an empire on which the sun seemed destined never to set. Fifteen visits, 57 years and at least one "annus horribilis" later, she has changed - and so has Australia. [...] The Queen herself has cut the ribbons at many of the milestones on Australia's path to real adulthood - from the opening of Canberra's new parliament house, the High Court, the National Gallery and the Sydney Opera House to Brisbane's World Expo and even the stockman's hall of fame.
Looking back, seems like the Queen has brought in so many good things that help Australia grow as a country, as well as an independent entity. Although her impact has considerably lowered as the time gone by because of the majority of Australians, whose generation has not heavily influenced by the Monarchy don't really care about it as much as the older generations, I believe this also signifies a new era where people in Australia are living in a much different society than before.
