Emma’s Cantina Mexicana in Puerto del Carmen

March 2, 2008 By 6 Comments

I passed Emma’s Cantina Mexicana in the old part of Puerto del Carmen last year, and was tempted to go in and try it.  Unfortunately, on the evening that I was planning to go there it was closed, so I didn’t actually get to.

However, I hear it comes highly recommended, and allegedly has the only native Mexican chef on the island – which considering the number of tex-mex restaurants is quite a feat in itself.

So since I won’t be going back there myself this year, perhaps anyone who goes there could leave a short comment on this blog and tell me how it is?   Go on, make me jealous!

Two more studies on bio-fuels

March 2, 2008 By Leave a Comment

Two more studies on the effects of bio-fuels have appeared.  It seems that the opinion has swung back against their use, citing the CO2-emissions released during the production of the fuels.

So it’s back to the old questions: how do we produce fuels such as bio-ethanol, without emitting more CO2 than we would were in the first place?

Is there a better solution to the problem?

Jobabbau der PIN-Gruppe

March 2, 2008 By 2 Comments

Es ist immer traurig, wenn große Unternehmen Stellen abbauen müssen. Ich lese zwar oft von Werksschließungen usw., die nur auf falsche Management-Entscheidungen oder wirtschaftliche Interessen zurückgehen (siehe Nokia in Bochum), aber in diesem Fall habe ich durchaus Mitleid mit allen Betroffenen.

Die PIN-Gruppe, als Konkurrenz der Deutsche Post, hat es nicht gerade einfach. Sie versuchen konkurrenzfähige Preise anzubieten, müssen aber Mehrwertsteuer berechnen. Sie müssen sich an Mindestlöhne halten, die sie selbst nicht ausgehandelt hat.

Ich finde die PIN-Gruppe war am Anfang einen mutigen Schritt und ich bedauere, dass durch die Bürokratie und Entscheidungen der Deutschen Regierung es nun so weit gekommen ist.

Nur eins werde ich nicht vermissen: der PIN-Mitarbeiter, der Samstags um 8 bei uns klingelt, damit er zu den Briefkasten bei uns im Haus gelangen kann!
