The mayor of Davao City, MAYOR Rodrigo called local officials, rescue units, police and military authorities to a meeting last Friday night to prepare an integrated emergency plan in cases of disasters as the National Capital Region is still reeling from the aftermath of typhoons Ondoy and Pepeng.
Duterte said disaster preparedness must be a collective responsibility.

The instructions are follows:
The police and barangay leaders must be the first line of defense and urged them to at least purchase ropes and rubber tubings for rescue operation in case of flooding. The leaders should also organize their respective communities into sectors for orderly evacuation if necessary.
“You study low-lying areas and look for possible areas of evacuation. Buy ropes, use your money. Mindanao may be spared from strong winds but not from inundations.

The city is aware for this and able to have the “Evacuation plan and sites must be clearly defined for the people to know where to go in times of emergencies and public officials must take the lead,” Uy said.
The meeting was also attended by the City Social Welfare Office, Navy, Coast Guard and the private sectors, particularly power and water utilities.

Ao Sane is a simple beach but could be a great Phuket beach!
It falls a bit short of basic requirements for a tourist spot. Ao Sane is located past Nai Harn Beach, through the Le Meridien Yacht Club and along the narrow road until you will get to a wooden bridge.
Stop and park at the bridge (few spaces) and walk down to the beach.
It’s a quiet spot and there are hardly any people, which is always a plus point, but the state of this Phuket beach is being set aside because visitors won’t really worth making the effort to visit when Nai Harn Beach is just so close.
Ao Sane has sand, but it’s more like gravel than the fine white powder you may have hoped for. The beach is tiny, with a restaurant and bar serving average Thai food and drinks.
The beach has the large number of rocks in it and it’s suitable for a paddle.
Try the Ao Sane Beach Sunset taking photos from the Baan Krating Jungle Beach. Have a try!

Holidays are now over for the late seasonal holidays in Corsica!
After two weeks of coming back from their respective holidays from the Metropole in France, Corsica just entered their grande entree.
Late starting school, meaning late to stop in July 2010. The pupils were telling that is about time to come back to school and try to forget that holidays are over.
Few weren’t disappointed taking the way to school because, as soon as possible about 4pm they can come back to the beach. Wow that’s a real life. Teachers were quite happy as of the weather is at their side. We have a great indian summer.
Can’t you imagine that while you are learning in school, you are contemplating the waves, their sounds and the boats passing by.
I remember our holidays there, that was the coolest and the hotel gives to the main road where a lot of boutiques, bars, restaurants and enjoyed shopping, yikes, missed that!

The photomontage of the week
Seeking to achieve new photos of Air Force One to enriching the website of the aircraft, the Department of Defense U.S. Government has caused a great panic in Manhattan after the aircraft flew low over the city. The White House ultimately decided not to publish and a visitor was amused to replenish thi said photographs.
I see that imaginations really works. Great!

Greetings to you readers,
I was in Orange testing wine
Châteauneuf-du-Pape is renowned worldwide for its wines from 13 grape varieties. “Le Clos des Papes”, a Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2005, has been nominated in 2008 the Best red wine of the world by the American magazine dedicated to “The Wine Spectator.”
Everyday spending my daily routine to the city of Lyon where a lot of tourists visiting the city. Great things in Lyon are if you want to unwind your mind just take your car and drive few kilometers from the city and you are already in the countryside.
We have visited some domains in that region and had some wine testing. The famous ancient theater of Orange has his typical spirit and co-memorate the ancient way of showing the spectacle in a certain way.
Italians and Germans were heard around during this stay. Cool week-end and great escape mode.

Thank you and see you once again in anytime.
