    Despite of the negative comments about Bali turtle island, we enjoyed our time there and the children had a great time. The grilled fish from the menu tasted okay.

      Who “all signed the document,” you and your friends? The list of measures you listed are all the minor ones, I’m not sure if you’re familiar with Venezuelan history, but what drove Caracazo was the increase in Gasoline prices. Increasing gasoline prices is what Giordani proposed, so Giordani is following in CAP’s footsteps.
