We apologize for what seems to be a big mistake, some of a bad joke taste in our mouths

Last week, a plane reaching Singapoor from Sydney with 6 over-educated scientists on board landed with a big scoop. One of these so called scientist told he woke up while flying and just saw a volcanic island he thought it was uncharted.Below you see the picture the scientist took and send us last week .

The poor dude just caught his camera and hit the shoot before he has found his glasses... such a mistake cause without, he was just like blind !

he didn't realized he wasn t flying over an uncharted island but the volcano of a world wide well known archipelago : Goa

Goa (independant nation since 1972) is shaped with 4 islands owned by 3 cities : Longley , Membata and Sumba are the name of the 3 cities and their island too, Goa is the name of the central island which belongs to the city of Sumba, and also the name of the whole archipelago . Goa's name come from the active volcano on it's center : Mount Krakagoa.

On the next pic you can see Longley on your right, Goa on your left and in the background Membata.

Here a look at Sumba, most active island with many offices bringing a little cashflow : the nation earns only 16000$ per month but the money is wisely spent !

Next one is the seaport of Sumba and in the back ground the big national media building of Central Goa News Network on Parish avenue(from where i write this entry ).

Background at the right, the modern tower of the new national parliament Which has got all the real decision power for the archipelago over the 3 cities will

Goa is a rich archipelago due to the people living here, they are as sweet as the weather ! Multi ethnicity is here meaning a lot, 4 big communities are sharing happily their islands ; from the biggest to the less important : Indonesian, Malaisian, Chinese and Australian. As shown by the next pic taken in Membata, Islam is the first religon of the laic republic.

But Buddhism is also an important part of the citizens life as you can see here in Little Shangai, the chinese blocks just next to Membata's downtown.

I leave on these pictures of the Ankgoa Vat temple on Goa island's sanctuary part, actually no one is allowed to leave here : only tourists can make at least a 2 week stay over the island's resorts, and so citizens can get on the island only for the day if they don't work on it.

Thanks again for visiting Goa , stay tunned, i ll comme back soon to present history of the country, each island and much more !!!

please don't hesitate to comment, ask questions nor share ... thanks again.
