Ele ainda acrescentou que, em pouco tempo, as ilhas que formam o arquipélago estarão submersas, e que “já não se trata de uma questão de crescimento econômico, mas de sobrevivência humana”.Anote Tong faz uma previsão de que, na pior das hipóteses, Kiribati será engolida pelo mar antes do final deste século, e todos os seus habitantes terão que ser deslocados para outros países.

| | | New and Improved Route for Oceania and Asia | | 2007-08-06 08:00:33 | | After getting a little frustrated trying to figure out how to approach Tibet from Nepal during the first 6 months of my backpacking trip around the world, I’ve come to develop a new and improved route. I had posted my quandary on the RTW branch of the Lonely Planet forum, and received some feedback which sent me in a new direction.
Without further ado…
New Zealand (fly, Dec 07)
Australia (fly, Dec-Jan 08)
Bali, Indonesia (fly, Jan)
Singapore (fly, Feb)
Hong Kong (fly, Feb)
China (overland, Feb-March)
Tibet (overland, March)
Nepal (overland, April)
India (overland, May)
Thailand (fly, June)
Cambodia (overland, July)
Vietnam (overland, July-Aug)
South Africa (fly via Bangkok, Aug)

If I had already paid for a ‘Round the World airline ticket and locked in certain cities, I would be hamstrung to them, or paying added fees to make change | | By: GoBackpacking | | |
