FRENCH GUYANA: THE DARK SIDE

Now that the people around me have forgotten some of my blog and I am not in Guyana, I can speak of things that did not have to worry about my mother no longer my family, "The dark side of French Guiana"

For if, in Guyana not only good things happen, there are many burglaries and robberies in the streets, and society itself is somewhat violent. Things happen that an no está acostumbrado a ver u oír. Y Saint Laurent, al ser una ciudad fronteriza, quizás se lleve la palma en cuanto a peligrosidad. Sólo el río Maroni separa Saint Laurent de Surinam, lo que hace que mucha gente cruce el río, robe, y se vuelva a Surinam. Y les interesa robar en territorio francés porque en Surinam la policía no se anda con tonterías, si echas a correr sacan la pistola, te pegan un par de tiros y se quedan tan anchos. Y quizás sea uno de los motivos por los que se puede pasear tranquilo por la noche en Paramaribo, cosa que en Saint Laurent no. Los franceses suelen ser exagerados con sus historias de peligrosidad y de llevar cuidado, y claro tu no empiezas a ver el peligro hasta que te pasa a ti, lo que no mean that the French may be exaggerated.

For if, as I landed me not once but twice, 2 times with firearms. The first time was with Joe English, we were partying at Chez Paul Neman, the coolest place Saint Laurent to leave, but unfortunately is located in the Charbonniere, crappy neighborhood of Saint Laurent. For the 2 we talking so quiet when we suddenly leave 2 guys who were hiding, a top with a machete and another short, the Joe grabs a machete and thrown to the ground in a flash and puts the knife in the neck, Joe is a cut on his hand to protect and I'll take the little one and think: what's this? Is not take anything? And suddenly flush me! and me carrying out a shotgun hidden in his coat, I say, take all my money, my mobile and even my shirt if you want. And that, I stole the phone, 25 euros and house keys, and ran, I imagine they would go to Suriname. The next day the same docked to a family going on vacation to Surinam and stole 600 euros, one of the children wore a bracelet of gold or silver and not wanting to give it to the robbers, beaten with a machete on the wrist to cut the bracelet, and the poor guy had to give him 14 points in the wrist.

The second Only once was I, returned home after leaving the Charbonniere, when I walk past a group of 4 kids, and when I had moved about 20 yards away, began to follow me. I oliéndome the calico, I began to quicken the pace, I could not run because I had a sprained knee playing basketball, so friends, seeing that accelerated the pace, ran after me and surrounded me. Do not move! Do not move! I told them again nooo! And I stole the other day and not wear anything now when I come by here. The fact is that there was an unfortunate time when I, lifting his arms and say another time no! And my cacher, to bow their heads to cache, found my hand in his face, we gave him a slap and he inadvertently pulled the sunglasses to the ground (yes, even though it was night wearing sunglasses) then became angry, I took out a gun and said, "want a bullet eh" "want a bullet" peguemos you want a shot, "I told them no, because although I've never been shot, not an experience I attract too. So I continued searching and stole the only thing she was wearing, the house keys to my key ring bottle opener with the flag of Guyana which was purchased in Georgetown. Surprisingly keychain in hand, ran hastily (I imagine fearing my wrath ...)

And what annoyed me this second time I landed, is that by taking the keys, I had no way to enter the house, but fortunately had left a window open , and I could get from a neighbor's house walking on the ledge. For the second time I had to change the locks of the house.

Anyway, I was lucky and nothing happened to me more in my 8 months Guyanese. But if things happen, a student of 12 years the institute where he worked, was killed after being shot in the face. My housemates were killed someone stabbed in the main square during Carnival Cayenne, a man walked with a rifle in my school and wanted to kill a worker. One student was raped in the time I was there. And there are many more stories of rape, burglary, robbery with violence ...

The people there have a very particular way of settling their differences, as I told a friend Suriname "here does not waste time fighting, here we shoot" So you have to take care not to go to certain places at certain times and be vigilant, if you take care and still rob you, then do not play the hero, is that people are trigger happy.

But neither should we live obsessed with insecurity, Guayana remains a wonderful place with its pros and cons, and believe me when I say that there are more pros than cons.

"Queen of Fashion, Queen of the Rococo, Queen of France and Navarre" - Maria Antonieta - Ninth Party

While Marie Antoinette arrives at the court and begins to adapt to their new world this little girl of 15 and after 19 years is absorbed and consumed by the frivolity Versailles environment, the superficiality of it is lived in the palace is soon assimilated by Maria Antonieta with breathtaking ease from his first visit to Paris, when you first feel important to be applauded by all the French people, their ego grows and is no longer used by the aunts, and do not feel unsafe walking the halls of Versailles, soon becomes the mistress of the palace and the way to be changed completely, and not a girl of 14 who came from Austria to marry a man unknown to her, she knows that France is one of the most important countries of Europe and the French court is the most admired for their customs refined, soon she wants to direct this court and intends to do so since the premiere of Iphigenia by her fellow Gluck sponsors in the Paris opera, becomes a success for her and the composer, but his insecurity, his virginity, his public humiliation before the whole court make it a superficial young woman, a doll over Rose Bertin, who to please the court and its courtiers pathetic, is dedicated to entertaining, Maria Antonieta soon hurl better the role of lady of the Queen's room.

It takes more than it is to amuse and entertain his courtiers, who deal with state affairs and ensuring the people, suddenly his confidence and determination will only be used to banality and not really benefit its subjects, it soon becomes a vain woman, who loves to be flattered and adored, and it is true that little girl, has become a beautiful young woman, with a gracious and elegant gait, is the most beautiful lady and so graceful ways than any conquest, his skin and delicately manicured hands are admired by artists and soon becomes the muse of the great painters. Portrait painters, poets, sculptors, all take it as a reference point.

Maria Antonieta
overflows no longer fear or insecurity, has become a young, powerful, all speak of it as a symbol of beauty, civility and decency. Soon out among all the queens of Europe.

The emptiness I feel Maria Antonieta, to keep even a virgin after 2, 3, 4, 5 years of marriage, is what causes your energy to focus on outputs early evening, dances, masquerades, and fashion clothing, hairstyles, ribbons, lace, corsets, shoes, diamonds, jewelry, pins, etc. It now occupies an important part in his life and soon her husband and not cover a minimum of space rather than to pay the bills. Marie Antoinette Louis XVI does not love because he has not managed to give him his place in court as his wife, she is only superficially the role of queen, and you really can not fulfill its main function is to give an heir to the crown of France, that was the objective of their marriage, but her husband does not have the manhood to do so it to Marie Antoinette is just a poor man who makes fun whenever he can, but of course without losing his composure in time she will want to Louis XVI as he describes in one of his letters, "all of my brothers is this because when I want more" brotherly love is just what that unites them.

As a woman and every human being young this girl is hungry for love, but its position has forced her to marry this man, rough, cold as marble, and as there raising children who are dedicated to indulge.

After a few months of his accession to the French throne, Marie Antoinette meets Mrs. Bertin a very skilled seamstress to make designs, the Duchess of Chartres is in charge to enter the circle of the Queen, very Maria Antonieta soon challenging the protocol and etiquette Versailles into their quarters ago to a commoner Madame Bertin, which meets alone with the Queen plan and prepare new designs and thus impose a new fashion, each design is a success in court and not only there but throughout France, soon everyone is talking about Queen Marie Antoinette and her elegance and taste to dress, they all want to imitate, and Bertin is becoming more popular and has to hire more seamstresses and milliners.

Soon all Europe is talking about the Queen of France Marie Antoinette, his clothes and elegance from Russia to Spain, comes to the point that many queens and ladies of high rank Madame Bertin bribe as long as they made a frock led by the French queen.

Maria Teresa
heard rumors about the fashion extravaganza at Versailles, and not until its ambassador Count Mercy sent a portrait of Queen elegantly dressed that reacts unexpectedly, Maria Teresa is enraged to see the happy picture and returns with a letter to the Count, saying this is the portrait of an actress not a portrait of the Queen of France, and not only the Earl of Mercy receives a letter Maria Antonieta but also a tremendous rebuke to his mother " You know I always was of the opinion that it should continue to moderate fashion, but never exaggerate. A beautiful young woman, a gracious Queen, no need of such follies, on the contrary, the simplicity of the dress I feel better and more worthy of the status of a queen. "

Marie Antoinette before the Revolution to the rise, is attended by her maid in their morning care, then walks her maid of honor with a book, but in this book what ??.... as there is news of the kingdom, much less the letters of the ambassadors, except if there is war with England, is a book that contains the designs of Madame Bertin, clothes he used during the day are selected are hundreds of dresses acquired, as the Queen of France and fashion, not using a dress twice that would be a sacrilege, a mortal sin!

Forgetting

dresses are the hairstyles, Mr. Leonard is responsible for making the beautiful buildings on every head of every distinguished and fashionable ladies of the court, the size is impressive three feet high and if possible more, magnificent you will feel the party, all that can withstand the neck, and while it is flattering as they say in the eighteenth century Marie Antoinette was known for its beautiful swan neck, so white and delicate as porcelain.

La Coiffure Pouf is baptized and the barbarity of hair, is the ultimate extravagance of Marie Antoinette, the hairs are growing taller and not only short in height but which are adorned with the day's events in the top of the mound of hair is placed a matter, it can be Coiffure to Iphigenia, or the inoculation of the king, or Coiffure independence, rioters in Paris, fruits, landscapes, Mills, floats, feathers, jewels, in short everything that creativity can imagine.

The Pouf Coiffure fashion crazy, cause the ladies have to go kneel in their carriages, and that tickets to theaters, dance halls and other places have to be more extensive that not only has to be higher if it wider because paniers have also grown woman suddenly went almost unnoticed in their silence, much space in a salon or wherever you are, women are protesting or indiscreetly calling for a more important place in this fashion superficial. And how would the famous Countess de la Motte ... "when a lady he puts something on the bow no one can take him out"

always get letters from Vienna of Maria Teresa frightened by the spendthrift behavior his daughter, frightened by an uncertain future, the debts acquired by the queen are more and more to the point you have to finish their diamonds, causing more outrage in Maria Teresa, but even when Louis XVI has a reputation for saving, all the blame fall on Maria Antoinette and her weakness for jewelery, which are sold above its true value, and not only that but also dresses.

seems that the emotions I felt, when gambling, dancing, singing, acting, horseback riding, shopping, belly filled that void, that emptiness in my heart that I wanted to feel love, Marie Antoinette at the end of the day rendered in his bed fell empty to do so useless that way to have fun without being able to swim more than his own pleasure, this mad rush you to forget their duties and obligations to the state and its people.

If anything, Maria Antonieta characteristic is his fear of boredom, so it is hardly going out with her geek husband, he is always seen surrounded by her younger brothers and that by then relations were still good, out of hunting, where she highlights for being an excellent horsewoman, along with other young courtiers fun riding donkeys.

Soon all the papers, documents, letters, pamphlets, and do not talk about the virtues and good manners of the Queen, now everything is a scandal, everyone talks about their expense, their dances, their dresses and jewelry, and nobody cares to know who is the queen really love this woman only superficial. Maria Antoinette ah become a monster, has become Madame Deficit.
