The island has been inhabited since the the 17th century, when people from Europe (mostly France), Madagascar and Africa settled there. Slavery was abolished on 20th December 1848 (a date celebrated yearly on the island), after which indentured workers were brought from South India, among other places. The island became an overseas department of France in 1946.
The local language, spoken by the majority of the population, is Réunion Creole. The official language is French.
Administratively, Réunion is one of the overseas departments of France. Like the other four overseas departments, it is also one of the 27 regions of France, with the modified status of overseas regions, and an integral part of the Republic with the same status as those situated on the European mainland. Réunion is an outermost region of the European Union and, as an overseas department of France, a part of the Eurozone.[3]
Life "Things have changed and yet they have not."
"Things have changed and yet they have not."
Slavery is ripe and well in the western world with the have and the have nots. Greed is rife along with deception and lies.
2015 years ago they spoke of such things and the destruction of society,They have it drugs corporate crime and a genuine lack of feelings. When one hugs one's own grand daughter it feels like a crime because of the teachings of the media circus some thing is definitely wrong.
As a father and grand father the feelings of loneliness are compounded by the feelings of being inadequate. I know my children love me and so does my grand daughter but these feeling are real to me.
I see the dregs of life come to me and speak of murder and how they did it and to see the hollow people looking for something.
Yes I attract murderers knife wielding people who have done real goal time.
I would rather talk to a car sales man than a politician, doctors, council office employee,CEO,welfare officer. and a lot of others I have left out.As you at least know the car salesman is going to rip you off. The rest just lie and you can never know where you really stand or end up.
I grew up in a time where things were fixed things like stove washing machines and even marriages.
Ahhh yes they had these things 2015 years ago, lies murderers politicians and others, It really does not matter seventy odd years and its all over, The murderer gets the same as a saint,And God lives on...

shanty house living
When I was young at the age of 9 we moved from the bush of Dorrigo to the steel town of Wollongong. I was 9 at the time and made friends with the shanty people who lived on the site of Old Bulli mine. These people treated me well and they had many stories to tell. They had nothing but each other which is probably more than I have these days.
The buildings were made from what ever was at hand, The mine used 2"x 2" timber for erecting stopping for air flow. These were the main construction materials and corrugated iron bratice were used for the walls. The older houses were iron because they were renovated as time went on. Fires were lit at night for heating and cooking, these were coal started with timber wedges another product used in the mines. The beds were sacks that the horse feed came in and were strung between pit props fashioned using bow saws also supplied by the mine bales of hay were used as floor coverings. These people had no health care or any money as they were too proud to ask for help. People say to me what if,I loose everything. Who cares because if I have nothing I just might be better off. Things more than three own you as I learnt many years later from Buddhist teachings.
I have over the years not had money in excess but just enough and not wanting the stuff because money creates problems. I have a friend who has lost all his savings by lending it to family members and finally now has none to speak of and he said if feels better because there is zero stress and he said he is glad.
So to all the people who work at removing money from your wallet when you get older you too will experience this and have all that you have worked for taken away from you by the next generation and let me also inform you they will be worse than they are today.
