Monday, February 27, 2006 Moon Palace in the Mayan Riviera of Mexico, part of the Spanish Palace Resorts chain in Mexico, Spain and Portugal Hello one and all, you undoubtedly have noticed that I have not been updating the blog with fresh posts regularly as regularly is the case. I just flew back to Toronto from 2 sensational weeks in the Mayan Riviera of Mexico at the five star Moon Palace resort and taking travels to Cancun, Cozumel, Playa Del Carmen and a host of other places. I had the absolute time of my life and had a array of acitivities both relaxing related and exploring the culture of Mexico and the Mayan people. I will be putting up posts all about Mexico and the absolutely wonderful warm people of Mexico, so you can look forward to that. I am back in Canada for a mere 10 days as my exciting travels continue. In 10 days I will be flying across the pond for my premiere European experience to get a glimpse of Holland as I connect in Amsterdam on to 10 days in Belgium & France on a Canadian Battlefields Tour including Brussels and Paris. Focusing on the sites and scenes of Canada's rich history and heroic contributions in both WW1 & WW2 as well as European history with the Napoleonic Battle of Waterloo. I am incredibly looking forward to this absolutely wonderful opportunity and excited to learn more about my country's role in the war firsthand, seeing the world class cities of Brussels and Paris and so much more. There will a stream of posts during these days and then another break, until I return. My travelling continues following that as always but more spaced out in the months ahead. I am also wanting to give you a better way of leaving your commentary as this blog currently doesn't support the traditional blogger comment links. I would love to hear what you think would work well, please email suggestions to me at teague.neal@gmail.com . I will be writing about new technologies, travel, the Canadian Olympic Team and how they fared in Torino, Italy over the past several weeks and more. Keep checking back and thanks for continuing to visit! Teague Neal blogged on 1:51 AM

Monday, February 06, 2006 This common expression that rings with more truth each passing year takes on new meaning in a whole new way. The short report below that has been being emailed across the world breaks the world down, saying that if modern society in 2006 was broken down to include solely 100 people. From this hundred, how many hail from each continent, culture, sexual preference, social class and much more. It's a fascinating way to look at the world in fresh eyes. Now that the globe has become more and more global and within 19 hours or less you can literally fly anywhere across the world, it has made the world more accessible and more connected. All the time I email those in 15 countries across Asia, Europe and my home continent of North America. I talk to my brother on Canada's East Coast and soon will be communicating from Canada's West Coast in college. As the world becomes so incredibly global we can enjoy the travel, tourism, friendship, family and business but we hold responsabilities within the palm of our hand. We must ensure and work towards allowing global eqaulity, ensuring that each of the world's 208 countries on all seven continents have accessibility to what they need most and what they deserve most of all. The World in Miniature! If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, there would be: * 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from North and South America and 8 Africans. * 52 would be female: 48 would be male. * 70 would be people of color: 30 would be white. * 70 would be non-Christian: 30 would be Christian. * 89 would be heterosexual: 11 would be homosexual. * 6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the United States. * 80 would live in substandard housing: 70 would be unable to read and 50 would suffer from malnutrition. * One would be near death and one would be near birth. * One (yes, only one) would have a college education and only one would own a computer * When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly evident. * 80 would live in substandard housing: 70 would be unable to read: 50 would suffer from malnutrition. * One would be near death and one would be near birth. One (yes, only one) would have a college education and only one would own a computer * When one considers our world from such a compressed perspective, the need for acceptance, understanding and education becomes glaringly evident.
