Ice Factories
I really like the Goodbye Section of the Australian Magazine. One of the recent articles related to ice factories. It made me think of my time in the Philippines,where I lived in the 1980s, just after the Challenger blew up. We lived in Puerto Princesa on Palawan. The Vietnamese refugees that I worked with used to go to the ice factory in town and bring back huge chunks first thing in the morning. Early morning, we used to eat noodles and drink tea and and by mid morning, it was on to San Miguel, iced down with large chunks of ice. I think the San Miguel was probably safer than drinking the water. We all take fridges for granted, but in many parts of the world the cost of the power, not to say the initial capital cost of the fridge makes it an impossible luxury.

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in
your content seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know.
The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon.
Cheers

You really make it seem really easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually one thing which I think I might never understand.
It sort of feels too complicated and very vast
for me. I am having a look ahead to your next submit, I will try to get
the hold of it!
