thanks for this report Bob, its really sad, now finally everybody worked together to find a solution and it ends because of a minister of justice who doesnt want to find the time for Bonaire's crime problems. It is certainly the best when Bonaire will work closer in that matter directly with the Netherlands.

Silvia, I could not agree more.

Don't forget one thing, The Netherlands have absolute their hands full with their own problems at the moment. They will not be very interested to support such a small part of the Kingdom.. It's a pity, but honest, you don't see anything about Bonaire in the dutch press, there are really more important problems in the mainland....

Bob, can either you or Sylvia please give us a recap of what the article says for those of us that don't speak Dutch?
|
By Harrie Cox (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #163) on Wednesday, November 17, 2004 - 7:00 pm: |
I can try to make a recap, but not earlier than tomorrow afternoon, if nobody else posted a summary before that.

Thank you all - I will be practicing my "limited" Dutch Dec 1- 6 as I am heading off to Rotterdam for work. So Martin, where should I go to eat? I've been there before and loved the Argentinian Steak restaurant near the Sheraton but this time will be staying at the Hilton near the Shell Building.

Marabeth, you can do a number of things: El Faro Andaluz (Spanish), The Bazar (Arabic food), Tai Tani (Thai food).

Harrie mentioned that the Netherlands had its own major problems at the moment. Relating to that, there is an interesting article in today's Boston Globe newspaper at http://www.boston.com/news/world/articles/2004/11/20/killing_fuels_dutch_clash_of_cultures/

Hi Marabeth,

Here's a quick update on what's happening in as far as discussions between government officials. This copied from http://www.amigoe.com/english/ (also available in Dutch).

By Silvia Taurer (BonaireTalker - Post #14) on Sunday, November 21, 2004 - 7:11 am: |
thanks for the link and update John, like they say in the report, it sounds hopeful but not promising yet.
|
By Harrie Cox (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #166) on Sunday, November 21, 2004 - 9:15 am: |
Thanks John for the update on what's happening. But one remark, good that he is been talking with so many VIP's, and even had dinner with some of them, but what is going to HAPPEN? Nothing, as usual?

Wow Bob - thank you so much - I really appreciate it. I have been to Hotel New York and LOVED the food and the beer. Went to a fantastic Italian restaurant but can't think of the name of it - I will try to get the group to try the one you suggested.

At the “Westelijk Handelsterrein” (street: Van Vollenhovestraat 15, pakhuis (means warehouse) 35 (I got the name wrong last time) a gallery just opened.

Bob: I'd recommend starting a new topic thread with this information as it's actually quite positive news and doesn't relate to the justice system on Bonaire.
