"Israel demolishes last Gaza posts "
Israeli soldiers have torn down their last military posts in the Gaza Strip ahead of a lightning withdrawal that could be completed by Monday.

Loud blasts marked the demolition of security offices, bunkers, bridges and watchtowers in view of the formal handover after a 38-year occupation.
The army's liaison headquarters in the northern Gaza strip has also been dynamited, military sources said.
But controversy over the demolition of synagogues might delay the pullout.
The withdrawal should begin on Sunday, three days ahead of schedule, and be completed within 24 hours.
On Sunday evening, a farewell ceremony is due to take place before soldiers get into tanks to finally move out of the area.
But the controversial destruction of synagogues in the former Jewish settlements could cause a 24-hour delay, Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz warned.
Difficult order
Israel's Supreme Court has already rejected an appeal by leading rabbis against their demolition.
Mr Mofaz said the cabinet was due to make a final decision on Sunday.
He said he would vote against the demolition of synagogues, which many in Israel fear might be desecrated after falling in Palestinian hands.
He also said he would have wanted Palestinian officials to take charge of the synagogues, but they have refused.
"It is very difficult for me to give the order to destroy synagogues," he told Israel Radio.
Troops were originally due to leave by next Thursday, but Mr Mofaz advanced the pullout in the wake of incidents in which soldiers were hit by stone-throwing Palestinian youths.
The Israeli army has warned it will not tolerate its soldiers being attacked as they leave the territory.

The Carneval on the plane

The carneval in the airplane Last year I was spendig my vacations in germany. i was supposed to came back for the carneval season, but the travel agency set the flight during the best days of the carneval. I spend 4 hours in the bridge waiting for the plane in frankfort then it came and I had to wait 2:30 for the plane to start flying. Thenthere 12 hours flying through the ocean. Wherever I saw there was water . My hola class were there, they were as sad as I was. When arrived in caracas and we had to wait another 3 hours for the flight to Bogotá. Then we arrived in "El Dorado" and there it were another 2 houras. At last we arrived in Barranquilla the golden of Colombia, la Currambera and a folcloricmusik group were waiting for us. There was too late to go party and i was too tired I went "where is Javier?" to eat a Chuzo desgranado i then home to sleep.

That was the saddest carneval I had never be in.
