Vanuatu, Australian land of the Holy Spirit

The Republic of Vanuatu became independent in 1980 Franco-British condominium in 1906 and is located in the heart of Melanesia in the South Pacific, at 1,750 kilometers east of Australia. Its capital is Port Vila and has a population of 207,000 inhabitants. It has 83 islands and six provinces: Shefa, Tafea, Torba, Melampus and Penama and is in the latter province where we find the island of Pentecost, which every year holds a special ceremony.

The youth of the village of Bunlamp performed a ritual that will be considered and men and to claim the hand of his beloved to marry them.

Jump is the Nghol, when the boys are launched from a platform approximately 25 m. high, previously constructed with sticks. A few vines gird their ankles that they have made and the length must be measured very well. This is important and is part of the ritual transfer, since the launch of the tower to the base of it, the head can only skim the surface soft soil so because otherwise the shock may cause severe injuries.

This ceremony is performed on Pentecost Island is related to the religious festival of the same name which falls fifty days after Easter and celebrates the Holy Spirit came down from heaven, perhaps as an expression of religious and cultural syncretism.

James Cook Islands beat the New Hebrides name that was applied to the country’s independence in 1980 and from that year Vanautu took the name which means ‘Our Land’ in Bislama, the creole Melanesia language.

In the early twentieth century, France and Great Britain instituted in a colonial New Hebrides Condominium called, and unique colonial rule led him to create two policemen, two hospitals, two schools, two languages, for that reason the French and English are also official languages.

Sights and attractions that make Vanautu, a beautiful holiday destination.

Ghent, bikes and trams

Ghent is a Belgian city with more charm, and could be put in direct competition with the famous Bruges to obtain the title of city stories. However, cities are living organisms with their works, demonstrations and various problems, so when we travel anywhere in the world we can find closed buildings or streets we see raised by the works.

This is the case in Ghent now, that have one of its main tourist arteries impassable due to works being carried out for the tram line extension.

Yet, the visit to Ghent is worth it, a place you need to know. Its canals, terraces to cool off with a beer, monuments, churches, markets, is a place that everyone who has visited recommended, because Ghent has something special.

Perhaps its university atmosphere, young and creative, long history manifested in beautiful mansion, its prosperity thanks to being the second largest port of Belgium through a channel that connects with the sea, passing to it before Dutch territory, or maybe his Dutchman character.

In fact, in Ghent is unusual that we speak French, but Flemish. It is the capital of East Flanders, and perhaps for its canals, so remember to Amsterdam dramatically, even in the proliferation of bicycles, circulating all over the place and parked in the most unlikely places. In fact, if you want to enjoy the city, it’s best to rent a bike and pedaling available for it, just be careful with the tram rails and the works done for him.
