studiante di Aruba, a biaha pa facil y mientras cu tin otro
Hulanda cu Arke Fly, pa sigui

ciudad y riba diferente tereno estudio tin otronan cu ta na
di specialisacion.
Fin di siman pasa dos grupo
a bay caba mientras cu e
grupo cu a bay ayera merdia,
a completa e total di 254
hoben cu a biaha pa Hulanda,
loke sin duda no ta mesun
cantidad cu a bay den añanan
anterior.
Mientras cu ta wordo specula
cu riba e motibo di henter e
situacion aki, e motibo di
con menos studiante a bay
Hulanda e biaha aki, ta bin
sali na cla cu fuera cu esaki
lo por tin di haber cu e
porcentahe abou di hobennan
cu a logra di finalisa nan
estudio pa haci esaki, di otro duna mas informacion riba
banda tambe a hunga un rol
un grupo grandi di studiante
cu a dicidi cu nan no kier bay pero ta confronta un of otro
Hulanda.
Nan preferencia e cay pa keda
aki na Aruba, esta keda cas y
sigui cu nan specialisacion na ta sigui na Hulanda pero no
Universidad di Aruba mes,
caminda ta bolbe confirma
e hecho e gran progreso
cu Aruba su universidad
ta gosando di dje ultimo
añanan.
Fuera di un grupo cu ta keda
aki na Aruba mes, limitando
nan gastonan di estudio pa
futuro tambe, tin un grupo
tambe cu a bay studia den
region di Caribe mes of na
Merca, cu ta keda mas cerca
di cas tambe y no asina ley
compara cu Hulanda.
grupo di hobennan di Aruba
bayendo eynan pa sigui nan
madre patria caba pero ya lo
no sigui ricibi financiamento
di nan estudio ya cu nan no
a cumpli cu tur exigencianan
cu tin cu esaki y tambe a
supera e periodo cu tin pa
nan caba cu nan estudio.
E cantidad di studiantenan
cu tur aña ta perde nan
financiamento no ta
conoci pero si tin un grupo
significante cu ta dicidi di
busca trabou pa asina cubri
nan gasto di estudio y estadia you! If your children’s teeth are crooked, and the dentist tells you: Let’s pull a few of those out to
na Hulanda te ora cu nan

Lo ta bon den futuro pa
Departamento di Enseñansa

nos pais cu ta bay Hulanda
problema durante di nan
estudio, sea cambiamento
di nan estudio, otronan cu
ta atende scol mas y tur cu

motibo di no a cumpli cu e
exigencianan normal cu tin.
A base di e informacionnan
aki lo por percura pa den
futuro evita cu e grupo di
hobennan cu ta faya den nan
estudio na Hulanda, lo por
wordo limita cu mas y miho
informacion riba e forma
con nan tin cu atende cu nan
specialisacion na Hulanda.
DIARIO DIALUNA 10 AUGUSTUS 2015
SHE OWNS THE STAGE. Ami Henriquez made a tremendous comeback on Friday at Moomba
Beach, reuniting with the Last Minute band after 13 years, strumming her skinny bass guitar like
nobody’s business. She went on stage with a small band, sounding like a big band, and proceeded
to rock the place, because our venerated Filipino Consul is a Rock n Roll queen. Her son Aga is
thirteen now, she says, and she feels she can go back to her roots, at this time. I remember Ami
from the time she was stoking Tamarijn’s popular happy hours with her music. She’s back with a
new look, and fresh energy, and the audience, a bunch of terrible dancers, was having the time of
their lives. Chido was in the audience, in a support role. She still has it, he said. You betcha!
ECOLED IS OPEN AT KING’S PLAZA. I bought a few new LED bulbs, producing eye-pleas-
ing, soft light, for my bedroom at ECOLED Aruba. A few years ago I traded all my incandescent
lights for energy saving bulbs, the curly fluorescent ones, and I am now slowly transitioning to
LED, ‘cause it’s a costly initiative, but it’s supposed to save me even more money! Last week,
Daniel Beerens wrote to me and said ECOLED provides hotels, casinos and private residences,
with high-end LED lighting. We have bulbs in every shape, he explained, and always come up with
a low-energy solution, for every energy-guzzling challenge. I can come to you for a meeting, he
offered, or you can check us out at King’s Plaza, which I did. Next door to ECOLED, a cute every-
thing-Italian store is about to open in a few days, Il Mercato Beach House, by Maria Pucci.
LIKE PULLING TEETH. I recently saw an interesting video on Youtube. It was recommended
by dentist Marvin van der Linde. It was an eye-opener, and I will only share the bottom-line with
make room, don’t do it. It will negatively affect the development of facial features and the beauty
of a nicely formed face. Opt for the long-term fix of making room, with braces, spacers, retainers,
whatever, just don’t let anyone pull anything out!! Our diet also has a lot to do with crooked teeth.
Apparently chewing hard, raw, natural foods helps us get beautiful teeth and good bone structure,
while the soft, gooey, factory-made, boxed, industrial food we eat results in cavities, narrow faces,
and big orthodontist bills. Kids with their mouths hanging open, especially those breathing through
their mouths, will end up with dental issues, and crowded lower teeth. So, keep your mouth closed,
and your tongue firmly attached to the roof of your mouth, in order to maintain that beautiful, sexy
jaw-line! You should read about the subject if you have kids, it’s super interesting. Who knew?!
A HORSE OF ANOTHER COLOR. My late Haitian mother-in-law used this expression, that’s
a horse of another color, when she meant to say: This is another issue, this is altogether something
else. And the saying comes in handy here. To start: I applaud and support public art projects and
love the horse idea for Paardenbay. That said, I put myself in the horse’s shoes, literally. I am
travelling from Spain to the remote Caribbean island by boat, a long, exhausting voyage, in a
crammed, stinky, dark, steaming, belly of a creaky vessel, no exercise for weeks, no fresh air, no
adequate food. Then as soon as the boat is anchored in the Bay of Horses, we are made to jump
in the water and swim ashore. I am thinking about that exact moment, where as a horse, I swim
like a maniac, struggling to save myself, and finally, finally reach terra firma, grass, air, freedom,
I am crazy to get to land, as fast as I can, skinny, wet, eyes burning, huffing, straining, skin, bones,
muscles, I hit the beach, wow, my head is about to explode from the sensation of having solid
grounds beneath my hooves. And that is the horse-image that I have for Paardenbay. A dynamic,
sinewy, muscled, wet and wild, just-arrived stallion. And blue is fine. The gordo, diki, dushi mare
in Oranjestad is a decorative, carousel creature. And to prove that point I already saw a number
of people lifting and seating their kids on the horse for a photo opportunity. When I asked artist
Osaira Muyale why was the sculpture removed from its patch of artificial grass, she told me it
went to the beauty salon to get a pedicure and foot massage. Really? Is that what you say when a
reporter asks you a legitimate question?!
KORTEWEG, TOO SHORT. The street art festival in Oranjestad enjoyed a record number of
people who came to see and be seen under the stars, in the little side alley, bursting at the seams
with activity. Thanks to UNOCA ARUBA, they will be able to keep it up until the end of this year,
and for the next one in September, they will pop up elsewhere, I read. I had shiitake mushroom
soup courtesy of Greg Croeze, and bought some natural, local, sea salt, collected, filtered and fla-
vored by artisan Susanne von Saalfeld. The custom tee shirts by Fernando Vermeer were super
cool, combining different images all taken out of context and inserted into a fantastic alternative
reality. It’s wearable art!
VEGAN GOURMET, NOT. My pathetic attempts to cut down on calorific Dutch cheese, found
me one day in the market looking at an attractively packaged Follow Your Heart, Vegan Gourmet
Mozzarella. The list of ingredients should have scared me away, but no, I am brave. I peeled the
wrapper and cut into the, ahem, cheese alternative. Surprise, it offered no resistance, it felt like cut-
ting into soft butter. I sliced a corner prepared to savor a piece of heaven, but instead it tasted like
sawdust and glue. So if you decide to cut down on calorific Dutch cheese, give it up all together,
or eat less of it, but don’t get tempted into buying any alternatives.
ARUBA’S MOST SUCCESSFUL EXPORT. I am happy to report that my friend Jeff Lesker
was tapped for the redevelopment of the famed El San Juan Hotel, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Lesker
accepted the position of General Manager in conjunction with the purchase of the property by new
owners, who announced their plans to convert the iconic El San Juan Hotel into a Curio, by Hilton.
The Curio brand boasts a collection of unique hotels, and with a massive $40 million investment
the Grande Dame of Puerto Rico, that island’s most famous landmark resort, will be making a
comeback. Jeff was handpicked from among many candidates by his employer Aimbridge Hotels,
because of his track record as global-repositioning and turn-around specialist. In Aruba Jeff is re-
membered as the hotelier who converted the Aruba Hilton into the Wyndham Aruba Resort & Ca-
sino and as the mastermind behind the stellar success of the millennium reopening of the Radisson
Aruba Resort & Casino formerly and today the Aruba Caribbean Resort. Jeff is recently credited
with a multi-million dollar turnaround and development of two LAX Airport hotels, in California,
USA, for the Marriott and Starwood brands. He is also a frequently returning Aruban resident, as
he visits his super-smart son Alan, an ISA student, here. RC@visitaruba.com
