Malulukring ka ba sa title ko? Bago ko ipagpatuloy ang article kong Sex in the Workplace, gusto ko munang isulat itong nabasa ko at napanood ko sa TV kagabi.
Ang madventures naman ay tungkol sa ala Bourdain na travelogue pero imbes na mga pagkain ang pinapakita ay mga weird customs, traditions ng iba't ibang lugar sa mundo.
(Sasabihin ko na sa inyo, sa bansang Tsina at lugar kong saan ang demokrasya ay isang bnyagang salita, hindi nila maipapakita ang kapangitan ng bansa). Mauna tayo sa Las Vegas.
Life under the Sin City.
Ito article sa ABC.
Underneath Sin City's most famous casinos is a secret world: a labyrinth of tunnels that run for miles under the Las Vegas Valley. Built to protect the desert city from flash floods, the tunnels have become home to hundreds of Las Vegas' homeless.
Ito naman ang excerpt ng article mula sa The SUN.
They have a neat, if compact kitchen, a furnished living area, and a bedroom complete with double bed, wardrobe and bookshelf featuring a wide selection including a Frank Sinatra biography and Spanish phrase book.
And they make their money in some of the biggest casinos in the world.
But their life is far from the ordinary.
Because, along with hundreds of others, the couple are part of a secret community living in the dark and dirty underground flood tunnels below the famous strip.
Despite his established set-up, Steven claims he eventually wants to leave the tunnels but can't because of two outstanding arrest warrants from drug possession charges two years ago.
It is estimated the population of the underground community could be as many as 700. As well as credit-hustling, they earn their money off the wildly excessive city above by begging and "dumpster diving" - raiding bins and skips.
There are around 350 miles of flood channels running under Las Vegas. Most inhabitants are in the area under the city's strip.
Another couple, Amy and JR, have lived in the tunnels for two years, having moved to Las Vegas in search of work, wealth and a slice of the famous Sin City action.
Moral lesson of the story. Kahit may urban planning , meron pa ring squatters.
Paano kaya pag bumaha at mapunta lahat ang tubig sa flood drain sa undeground. Lalabas ang mga naninirahan doon.
Abangan ang susunod na kabanata tungkol sa Pilipinas...mga nakatira sa sementeryo.
