Finally almost out of expensive Brazil, I had to check out th
e world famous Foz de Iguazu Falls. They are more or less like every other fall that you know but much bigger. It has become a very turistic place and a money machine for the local economy, because people are flying in from all over the world. The Itaipu dam is more spectacular for me (maybe because of my backround) and got it's last generater in 2008. Now it produces enough energy for the needs of 90% of Paraguay and 25% of Brazil (14GW). Thats like 20 normal nuclear plants combined.
At the hostel I had a huge discussion wit
h a weird, dutch scientist who claimed all sort of controversial things. Evolution doesn't exsist, there is no overpopulation problem, you can smoke as much as you want - if you get cancer you just have to smoke less - and much, much more. But one thing turned out to be right: overpopulation doesn't seem to be a problem forever. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population)
