Conflict-induced population displacement, both internally within the DRC and refugee flows from neighbouring countries, has had a considerable negative environmental impact. Several major waves of population displacement have occurred since the mid-1990s, with many groups being displaced multiple times. Despite the formal end of the Second Congo War (1998-2002) with the signing of peace agreements between the DRC, Rwanda, Uganda and warring groups in 2002, more than 2.4 million people have been displaced from their homes since then, mainly in eastern DRC. More recently in 2009, fighting in western DRC has caused over 110,000 people to flee into the neighbouring Republic of Congo.

Les déplacements de population dus aux conflits en RDC et l’afflux de réfugiés fuyant les pays voisins ont eu un impact environnemental négatif important. Plusieurs grandes vagues de déplacements de population ont eu lieu depuis le milieu des années 1990, et de nombreux groupes se sont déplacés plusieurs fois. Malgré la fin officielle de la seconde guerre du Congo (de 1998 à 2002) avec la signature d’accords de paix entre la RDC, le Rwanda, l’Ouganda et les groupes belligérants en 2002, plus de 2,4 millions de personnes ont dû quitter leur foyer depuis cette date, principalement dans l’est de la RDC. Plus récemment en 2009, les combats dans l’ouest de la RDC ont fait fuir plus de 110 000 personnes vers la République du Congo, voisine de la RDC.

Nothing gives me more pleasure then taking photos to food or cocktails, when I run into amazing restaurants and cafés.
As you know, in Italy "aperitivo" is a ritual. Especially in summer time!
Last week my bf and I, decided to reserve a table for two at Pantarei, a Flow Café.
We ordered an Aperitivo, and the waiter suggested me to try one of their special cocktails: Pantarei Caipiroska.
Everything was delicious (and light considering the hot season).
I really LOVED my drink served in the jam pot. What an original idea! :D
Hope you like the pics! ^^

During “flow” one experiences life in the moment, without mental analysis or judgment. Similar to “being in the zone” as it is sometimes described in sports, one’s actions occur with ease, feelings of peacefulness and joy, and the sense of “oneness” with the world. Spiritual or “peak” experiences often are described in similar terms. Golf players in particular appreciate the significance of flow, often attributing this to the beautiful nature of the game, as well as playing the game within the beauty of nature.
Harking back to 2011, to Townsville's Strand Ephemera, this installation of linked bottle caps cascades down a fountain like a multi-coloured curtain. Artist was Alison McDonald.
