in fact, these are lilies of the valley, which are usually given to their wives about once a week. if a person has several wives, then he gives us such flowers in turn. in the first week of the first wife, in the second, the second, and so on according to the list, but this is only in big cities in the countryside that you will not often see this. here, work in the field from morning to evening in the hot sun, and the same black deaf, hijab is used as work clothes, only a high, straw hat protects from the heat, then cleaning the house and cooking children and husbands should always be well-fed, satisfied; men at this time are also busy with business. they are sitting somewhere in the shade, chewing cheerful leaves. like this is a craze of the local stronger sex, of course, if something serious needs to be done, then the yemel men do it themselves, because you can’t trust a woman to understand the real business, she, with her half-hearted mind, is only capable of primitive, for the most part, simple physical

work yemeni women - this is a separate closed world that lives according to its own invisible laws to an alien eye and the germans carefully. they protect it from outsiders, their morals are supported by conservative islamic traditions, and therefore such a situation for women in yemen can last forever. in the organization of cultural leisure, the optimist always wins. the slave trade is a gloomy, boring, unattractive thing . yes, and what, maybe i’m interested in the chains of the weights of the instruments of torture, but it turns out that the memory of the dark times of the slave trade can bring good income to prisons, as a tourist attraction, one big advantage of them

maintenance does not require special expenses for repairs and restoration. the worse the stone bag looks, the more terrible it is, which means that the colorful authorities of the african side of ghana have long understood this and use it to their advantage. we are not slaves of a slave, we lay down all progressive mankind. but what kind of slavery it was, whether only the white colonialists were to blame for it, many believe that the ruthless and greedy europeans, armed with cannons, rifles and grenades, attacked defenseless african tribes and brutally drove away everyone who surrendered to american cotton plantations often. it really

was so, but the beginning of the slave trade. in these parts , it was necessary for a long time that guests from europe appeared here. now a lot of africans from europe and the usa come to the gamut, these are the descendants of those who were taken into freedom. maybe their ancestors were waiting for their fate. here it is very emotional tourists. some even faint in our dungeons. but it is the europeans from the states that do not fall; the pioneers of the slave trade in africa were the arabs. back in the ninth century, they made frequent and very profitable raids on northern africa, taking everything that came to hand, including people. the first europeans arrived in ghana only at the end of the 15th century. these were the enterprising portuguese. they immediately appreciated the advantages of their new overseas territory in the country then there was a mass of very

cheap golden sand hence the later british name of ghana the gold coast by the portuguese in 1482 and built the very first local ford mine. now the monument of slave trade architecture itself and the town that grew up around it walls, called elmina, that is, a mine, meaning it was a mine that gives local gold. the leaders willingly brought gold to the portuguese, who paid for it with guns, knives and, as usual, with beads, mirrors and other chips scarce in these places, but gold was not so much settled more and more and then locals. the leaders offered the portuguese black gold. there were practically no labors for its extraction. and most importantly, its reserves were almost not exhausted. mother is still in ghana ten children is not considered a heroine mother. yes , our leaders traded in slaves. it was they who negotiated the sale with the whites, whose captives

were captured during numerous tribal wars. they and relatives sold those that they did not like very much, but for the leaders it was a simple trade. but the whites came up with robot trading. they gave the leaders all sorts of useful things from their civilization. and thus they kindled greed among our leaders in africa, because this was not the case. so that the slave trade is an invention europeans. after the discovery of the cunning portuguese on the gold coast, it became crowded with buyers of people who just did not build their fortifications here, the dutch, the danes, all kinds of others, the swedes of the fortress, were built with obligatory premises for keeping slaves. in literal translation. these casemates are called slave storages. even today, when the government. ghana does not always have enough funds to preserve the ancient monument; on average , there is one castle for every 15 km of the ocean coast of this republic. this one a large one was founded by the dutch. and he passed from them according to the statements, as ford amsterdam then the

british won it back and named kate at one time. there was even something like the capital and the residence of the governor, however, by the beginning of the 19th century, everything was recaptured here and the gold coast became an english colony. here is the entrance to the ford amsterdam slave storage. at the same time, in this small room , 200 or 300 slaves were waiting for their dispatch to the american continent. sometimes it lasted several months of sensation. after these dungeons, let's just say depressive practical travelers. immediately worried about the lack of a bathroom, no amenities. there was no reservoir, and the walls still bear traces of their stay. here, thousands of unfortunate men were kept separately from women, and children over the

age of 7 were kept separately, in general, from everyone. what is a juvenile detention facility? dumplings and kei costa are very lucky. state museums are arranged in them, and therefore these unconditionally valuable architectural monuments are maintained in more or less good condition. dozens of the rest are left to the mercy of fate and the humid tropical climate tells about what inscriptions adorn the walls of these structures at such a time the tongue does not turn. read the graphics on the walls of your entrances. the meaning is approximately the same in the tiny fort victoria at the highest point where it would seem not to climb. some wits hung out such a thoughtful flag. here is an example of the struggle for the freedom to distribute and use soft drugs, but no matter what modern additions occur

with the former forts of the europeans, in each of them the so-called gates are preserved, not return gate not return once this place inspired genuine horror among the inhabitants of the entire african continent from here slaves. they were taken out of the fortress , put on ships and they never saw their mother africa again but that was a long time ago, and recently on local television they showed an interview with one citizen of the united states, her ancestors were taken out of ghana so, so she said thank you very much to great britain for having we were slaves thanks to this, now i am a citizen of the great country of the united states of america near the gate of no return, a small altar is certainly built . in memory of the people tortured here, it is tourists who build it. this is their tribute to those who were unlucky, who did not reach the distant american continent as victims on this one, they always put

money on the altar and put containers with some kind of alcohol and be sure to make odd gifts in an even number. in ghana, it is considered an insult in general in ghana. as in many other countries, there are quite a few people who like to grab everything that lies badly, but these gifts will not be touched. even the most unscrupulous thief. there is probably no more shameful page in the history of mankind than the slave trade and breakfasts. now our country is doing everything to ensure that this never happens again. i am a student and here i only earn extra money during the holidays. in ghana today there is everything to get a good education, but after studying. i would like to go to work in europe today, the gate, no return is decorated with a sign saying the opposite meaning the gate of return gaana is waiting for her sons and daughters back for permanent residence and they do not come for 10 according to official statistics. today there are about 1 million ghanaians in the uk alone visit your historic homeland. at least divorce

is a sign of patriotism and good upbringing, staying in africa is already too much. but look at interesting former forts with their boring winters, excellent tourist attractions of the slave trade, or rather, memories of it continue to bring true income. that's just everything else. the oldest sundial in ghana was built by the portuguese in the early 16th century. true, now they do not show the time. we asked the locals why they say they broke, what could break in the sundial, and remained a mystery to us. ganna gained independence as one of the first countries in africa in 1956, the people's government of president kwaman, krum in every possible way sought to get rid of colonial sores and establish an independent life in part. this has been successful in our region. ghana it is considered one of the most stable and economically

developed countries and that is why a new slavery flourishes here every year, the flow of refugees from neighboring states blazing with conflicts, all passports, without rights, is growing. to protect women , the current government becomes easy prey for pimps, men fall into the clutches of recruiters of gratuitous labor. ghana is trying to fight this, but so far there are enough other problems to no avail. what dai want to know ghana has a new gate of no return, but the time when it will turn into museum exhibits will probably not come soon, literally. this is a swedish fortress, officially this place in finland is called that way and still by the locals. it is much more pleasant when the svyavok is called a finnish fortress or somin linn. this fortress has witnessed many dramatic and tragic

events in its long history. our correspondent alexei brazhnikov visited it and, as they say in the guidebooks , touched the time frozen in stone with his own hands. thousands of finns dream, but renting an apartment here is very not easy, the prices are low, the local boss has enough money for them, something else is much more important. everyone who is going to register in the fortress must know its history, so those rooms that used to be occupied by sailors, gunners, are now occupied

by people capable of these buildings. it is interesting to tell writers, restorers. and the artists have something to talk about? powerlessness was decided after the northern war lost to peter the first. it was necessary to strengthen the position in order to protect themselves from the growing moss russia began to build in 1748 and they expected to meet it in 4 years, but it turned out to be a long-term construction, stretching for as many as four decades, they built a fortress according to the drawings of the military architect augustin erens, varda, if it were not for him , everyone would not see this beauty, all the frills were preserved his grave, beautifully, the handle of the sword shines. everyone rubs it for good luck, the chief architect of somin linna was also her chief casanova at one time. there were legends about his modesty, indifference to chic outfits and immodest, completely

indifferent attitude. we have snow all because his legitimate, wife could not stand it. i left my unfaithful husband on the islands of a remote province so unloved by her. the swedish kingdom could not stand the secular lioness of serf morals. these tools appeared here at the end of the 19th century. after the anglo-french fleet tried to capture the then russian fortress during the crimean campaign, the sviaborg resisted, but in case of a new attack, they decided to upgrade the fortress cannons. once, formidable artillery of the swedish-finnish fortress with viaborg somin, lina is now free an attraction for shouting a cannon and spinning the wheels of mechanisms, you don’t have to pay money next to these powerful guns, you can feel like a real soldier of this legendary

fortification, which just a couple of centuries ago was called northern kibraltar, that is, a very important territory, a fortress that controls a strategically important strait to own a small citadel at the crossroads of sea roads means to own an entire region in this case, baltiysk at one time, more people lived here than in helsinki, the fortress was considered the second largest the population of a finnish city. after turku, merchants , builders, who were not here, but still the most interesting story related to the military, for example, with the daughter of the commandant, a local, beauty, about whom almost everyone dreamed of, fell in love with a simple soldier, and he had long been in she doted on her soul and they came to their father for the blessing of the soldiers. yes, how can exclamation well done from the shame put the lovers out the door, punishing the daughter of gucci with this young man is not seen. the guy and

the girl decided to drown their love. they jumped together, with full ammunition with a gun, he immediately went to the bottom, she, in a crinoline board, swayed like a float on the water. this scene was watched by an officer who was also in love with the commandant's daughter. he saved beauty and, as a winner, quickly married her. hundreds of people pass every day by the legendary reservoir, where the poor soldier drowned his love along with himself, some spend hours looking at the surface of a small but deep pond, and the finns do not know about this story, they come here to relax and the heartbreaking stories of their past cares little. the russians conquered the swedish svyaborg back in 1808. the russian troops did not outnumber the swedish garrison in terms of numbers or artillery power. and yet sweden's pride became her disgrace, with the viaborg capitulating

without a fight. they say that the commandant of the fortress karl lov kronstat decided to capitulate for several reasons, firstly, he did not believe in the victory of sweden in the war for finland. secondly, he was burned by resentment against the king of sweden, who dismissed the honored officer from the post of naval minister and gave him the prestigious position of the commandant of the svibarg, so after the surrender of the fortress, they shatter without hesitation. he went to serve the russian emperor almost 50 years later. after viaborg became russian, a large five-domed stone church appeared in the fortress. alexander nevsky temple was surrounded by a symbolic fence with chains . the ground fence around the church still stands today. but there were no orthodox domes left, as soon as the fortress became finnish and received the name sominlina, the new owners rebuilt the russian church into a lutheran church. rita helmin neither about the

commandant's daughter nor about the love affairs of augustine erens. varda does not know she came here with old friends. for 30 years in a row once a month. they have a bachelorette party when the weather is nice and they don't hesitate to go. this place was important enough when finland defended itself from enemies here, because it was the first place. where did they sail by sea these enemies. but about this we we don't think when we come here. it's just a wonderful summer day. a real castle without ghosts cannot be surpassed by the number of ghosts with viaborg, many much more ancient buildings. these are the spirits of unfortunate, drowned lovers and the incorporeal essence of the rebellious decembrist kyukhelbeker, the famous kyukhli friend of pushkin and the phantoms of the russian sailors who rebelled at the beginning of the century . modern someone comes to sunbathe

, someone to shout in a cannon, someone to go to museums, and the gloomy pages of the history of the finns, still remember, but reluctantly. so it is possible that in 50 years the whole history of the once formidable fortress of the finnish interpretation will turn into a good fairy tale. there are romantic natures, romantic places, and there are romantic drinks. whiskey is drunk by spies and residents of kvass brine, noteworthy patriots of macho and cowboy tequila. but rum is a drink of the pirates of the caribbean for lovers of pirate stories, rum is romance in liquid form our correspondent dmitry

vozdvizhensky visited distant gayane and suriname and i saw with my own eyes what rum means for the inhabitants of the karims. wheat is used to make bread and vodka from grapes, raisins and brandy, and sugar cane is used to make sugar, and rum turns out that rum is the sweetest of all strong drinks, and they drink it exclusively in the tropics, where in -firstly , the source material grows, and secondly, where the climate is conducive to its use, to pull up vodka in the heat - this is more like self-torture. arom drinks well. guyanese presidential candidate mozasna gamutu believe that guyanese and roma are not separable, although in fact the guyanese people may

drink everything. we can also drink a bottle of our gaian vodka, of course. it's not that you have a lot of things in russia - it's a rum country, and therefore most of us drink it. we love rum, but we also drink vodka on occasion with pleasure. and we need such a bank. you don't do everything anymore, a good friend of her supercell moses, by the way, this is the rum king, the richest man. gayan here he makes for a variety of assortment, and from the same thing that rum is made from cane. this is probably why the taste of the drink turns out to be just disgusting something between cheap alcohol and pharmaceutical medicine is categorically contraindicated for an unusual person to drink it, but it costs one dollar, and therefore trade flourishes with a simple guyanese. the main thing is to be cheaper, by the way,

exactly the same. the most popular rum gayane, it is aged for about 1 year, the minnows call it a white rhombus, it is very cheap. as you can see, ordinary minnows also have their own little white , which they, if the situation allows, eat with pleasure, then after during or instead of food. in a forty-degree rum with ice, diluted water goes in the heat with amazing ease, like mineral water. i noticed this on weekdays. well, the weekend is nothing to say on the holidays. rum flows like a river, and the fun is such that it is simply impossible not to join it. and

people have known the miraculous properties of sugar cane for a long time. and this is how they called the plant that gives honey, cane cheering drinks were made in ancient india and in no less ancient china and in the same ancient persia directly. rum for the first time described by the missionary father stertor, who appreciated the drink , rum was originally produced on the island of barbados, it was called the fight odessa water, after drinking this water, such an excitement began in a person’s head, which in english was called rambalia or abbreviated ram , hence the name rum in gayane this drink does not have a glamorous touch. like those brands that appear in films about super agents, but the quality of golyan rum is incomparably higher because you can’t fool the locals on reed mikia, but they they know a lot about roma. this is the rum kingdom of yosipersota

factory on the banks of the demirara river, considered the third river in south america after the amazon and the arenope. passing by this place, anyone immediately understands that there is a persistent smell of reed mash around the factory buildings, production wastes are drained into an open sewage treatment ditch, they evaporate and give such a specific aroma, however, the gas that is obtained during fermentation is used in a different way, it is collected, processed, pumped in cylinders and sell many the minnows cook their food at home on the gas obtained during production. this is a side business. but the main thing is, that's for sure. this is a model of our wooden tower, through which water is passed. with alcohol, this unit is the only such unit in the whole world, with its help we get light rum. and turned on. the unit is like, it is not

aged in barrels instead of them, they just use this tower, the drink is immediately bottled and transported around the store. that is why it is so cheap. the longer the rum is stored in the warehouse in large wooden barrels, the more expensive it is. the price of a 25-year-old drink reaches $ 200. this rum is drunk, only very rich people after the distillation of sugar cane juice get rum alcohol. you just need to mix it in the right proportion with distilled water. and rome will be ready. it seems that everything is simple, but it is enough to make at least a little mistake and the party will be spoiled, then rum goes to the shelves. it is interesting that in gayania in neighboring suriname, most of the shops selling alcohol are small fortress, the seller, along with food and bottles, is inside a special cage behind the lattice, these

fortifications are built not from a good life, but to protect against robbers and, apparently, the minnows really like the roll very much. rada is also loved, but the attitude towards it here is a little less reverent than in gayane, probably, the british, who owned gayana, loved this drink much more than the dutch, who settled in the area of ​​​​the surinamese capital does not export. everything that is done is drunk right on the spot or in the nearest neighbors, although a good surinamese or govensky rum is much tastier than cubi.
