DRUGAČIJA DIJASPORA / Brodom punim hipija otišao u Latinsku Ameriku, a sada gradi kuću

Zlatan Misimović (27) je odlučio napustiti Rijeku i zaputiti se u nepoznato. Nakon godinu i pol dana života u Portugalu, našao se na Kanarskim otocima, gdje se ukrcao na prekooceanski brod pun hipija i nomada koji istražuju svijet. Kartu je platio 1000 kuna, a kada je za osam dana stigao u Salvador u Brazilu, imao je još nešto sitno novca u džepu. Uskoro je ostao i bez mobitela koji se pokvario.

Lutajući prljavim brazilskim favelama shvatio je kako se sada nalazi u jednom drugačijem svijetu. Više nije bilo nasmijanih hipija koji su smionim žongliranjem i gomilom anegdota kratili atlantsku plovidbu. Smijeh i sigurnost brodske palube zamijenila je surova brazilska svakodnevica.

“Gle, ja znam da je i Rio opasan, a kamoli ovo. Nordeste je vrlo, vrlo opasna regija. Što je najluđe od svega, Salvador de Bahia je druga najpopularnija turistička destinacija u Brazilu. Pa ipak, to ništa ne govori i sasvim je normalno da, recimo, polugola drogirana djeca leže po ulicama u strogom centru grada. Na svoje sam oči vidio kako im izlazi pjena na usta, a nitko im ne želi pomoći.”

Govori kako policije ima posvuda, ali reagiraju samo kada su najveće frke. U početku mu je sve to izgledalo nevjerojatno – gomila dugih cijevi po ulicama, policijski kamioni pod rotirkama i hosteli sa blindiranim vratima. Kao da su svi uvijek na oprezu i čekaju da nešto eskalira.

Vidio je, govori, i ljudska tijela kako leže pored ceste nakon nekakvog obračuna. Naglašava kako se uz sve to odvija i normalan život - ulice su pune ljudi i barova, lijepih žena, žive glazbe i zanimljivih restorana. Ipak, uskoro je odlučio otići otamo.

Putovanje Amazonom

Želja mu je bila domoći se grada Belema na ušću rijeke Amazone. Ondje su započinjale mnoge priče svjetskih istraživača, avanturista kojima se divio i fascinirala ga je ideja da otputuje rijekom do Yurimaguasa u Peruu. Ostao je, kako kaže, chiro (ekvadorski izraz za biti švorc) – pa je shvatio kako bi ipak bilo pametno zaraditi nešto novca prije nego krene putovati rijekom.

“Otišao sam u jedno malo selo otprilike jedan sat udaljeno od prve civilizacije. Znao sam da će tu biti mirno i da će sigurno biti nekoga posla za mene. Mjesto se zvalo Vila de Jericoacoara i do njega se putovalo sat vremena autom na sva četiri pogona po pijesku i dinama. Tu sam se zadržao nešto više od mjesec dana te sam radio na plaži i učio turiste surfati. Volontirao sam u hostelu ‘Jerry Hostel Art’ gdje sam upoznao fantastične ljude sa svih strana svijeta. To je bila Latinska Amerika kakvu sam zamišljao.”

Opet je krenuo na put. Jasno, i sada nije imao previše novca pa ga se trudio što manje trošiti. Putovao je autostopom i spavao po plažama, tu i tamo bi se ukrcao na kakav autobus. Belem je bio sve bliže.

“Kada sam se domogao Belema osjećao sam se lakše, ali nikako sigurnije, jer to je mjesto izgledalo kao da je još opasnije od Salvadora. Iz luke odlazi gomila brodova za Manaus i to je jedan od najpopularnijih prometnih pravaca u Latinskoj Americi. Puno ljudi ovdje dolazi i svugdje se da naslutiti kaos.”

U Belemu se zadržao neko vrijeme kako bi sve isplanirao. Srećom, upoznao je pristupačne ljude na povratku iz Manausa koji su ga opskrbili informacijama. Brazil je, kaže, velika tržnica, i dobro je znati kako se cjenkati i na koji način doći do najjeftinije varijante – bilo po pitanju prijevoza, smještaja ili hrane.

Uskoro se našao na brodu. Kao i mnogi prije njega, gledao je sa strepnjom i divljenjem u horizont moćne, blatnjave rijeke omeđene gustom prašumom. Destinacija: Manaus, a zatim kranja točka Amazone – peruanski Yurimaguas.

Odlazak u Ekvador

“Na tom putu Amazonom sam upoznao lika za kojega i danas radim. Zove se Enricke, a ja ga zovem Venecuelano. On je putovao motorom oko Južne Amerike tako da je završio i na transamazonskom brodu. Proveli smo vrijeme zajedno u Manausu i kasnije produžili u Peru. Ondje smo se rastali, a on mi je rekao da me čeka posao kod njega ako ikada dođem u Ekvador.”

Tako je i bilo. Nakon što je neko vrijeme proveo lutajući Andama, odlučio se odazvati pozivu i skrasiti kod ekipe Venecuelanaca u Ekvadoru. Kaže kako je mentalitet ovdje ipak nešto drugačiji.

“U Brazilu ne vole bijelce, gringo ekipu, i često se stječe dojam da samo čekaju kako da te prevare ili opljačkaju. Nisu pretjerano susretljivi kada ih kao stranac u njihovoj državi upitaš za pomoć. Nije mi se to sviđalo. Ekvadorsko mi društvo puno, puno više odgovara.”

Uskoro po njegovu dolasku u Ekvador, zemlju je zadesila serija razornih potresa. Nalazio se u selu Mompiche gdje se trebao naći s Enrickeom.

"Potres me probudio i istrčao sam u nevjerici na ulicu. Čovječe, stojiš, a hodaš, jer tlo ti se izmiče pod nogama. Sve uokolo se ruši. Ovo se ponavljalo idućih mjesec dana, svako toliko. Već sam se bio i navikao."

Nakon nemilih događaja ostao je aktivno pomagati lokalnoj zajednici u izgradnji novoga Ekvadora. Otišao je s Enrickeom i ekipom Venecuelanaca u grad Canoa, mjesto koje je najviše pretrpilo i koje je, kako kaže, mirisalo na smrt.

“Enricke je dobio poziv da kao konstruktor u GM-u (General Motors – Chevrolet) pomogne ponovno izgraditi jednu lokalnu zajednicu – selce Tabuchila u blizini Canoe. Povukao je i mene i tu smo gradili kuće, autobusne stanice, bolnice i crkve. Sve smo gradili od bambusa i paleta koje je donirao Enricke, odnosno njegova firma. Lokalci su nam pomagali, i to je bilo jako smiješno, jer većina od njih nikada nije imala bušilicu u rukama. Ja još nisam pričao dobro španjolski i bilo je jako teško koordinirati sve te stvari s lokalnim radnicima, ali na kraju smo se uigrali u pravi tim. Kad su tamo neki lokalni moćnici vidjeli kako Enricke i ja radimo, angažirali su nas i na obnovi svojih privatnih posjeda. Tu sam čak bio i pravi šef, imao sam lokalce pod sobom kojima sam govorio što i kako treba raditi. To mi je bilo sjajno, jer doma nikada nisam bio nikome šef, niti bi mi itko dao da rukovodim na sličnim projektima.”

Dobio komad zemlje

Još uvijek se nalazi u Canoi, gdje i dalje pomaže podizati uništene kuće i javne objekte. Enricke i on sada restauriraju i automobile – stare defendere, land rovere i land cruisere koje zatim preprodaju. Nakon posla odlazi surfati na plažu ili se naprosto odmara i uživa u lokalnom životu.

“Sviđa mi se ova tropska klima. Ovdje je mentalitet takav da je vrlo lako uspjeti ako si imalo radišan. Svi lokalci su toliko lijeni i usporeni da ja sa svojim karakterom ispadam najveći radoholičar. A ja sam vrlo opušten. Naravno da ima i jet-set ekvadorske mladeži koja se ne uklapa u ovu priču. Ali njih je vrlo malo. U ekvadorskim školama se ništa ne uči – svijet kakav mi poznajemo im je potpuno nepoznat. Njima je sve čudno i interesantno. Izgleda i da žude za znanjem i informacijama. Vide mene kako nešto zanimljivo ili drugačije radim i onda stalno dolaze i zapitkuju jedno te isto – how? como?”

Enricke mu je sada već i veliki prijatelj. Prepisao mu je komad svoje zemlje te Zlatan ondje planira izgraditi kuću. Povratak doma ga ne zanima, kaže kako ovdje sa svojim sposobnostima ima puno bolju budućnost nego u Hrvatskoj.

Danas vrlo dobro zarađuje i svi ga poznaju kao dobročinitelja. Jedino što mu nedostaje su riječki prijatelji za koje se nada da će ih uskoro vidjeti.

Rare Tropical Timor Black Bamboo Tree seeds B10 Seeds of the rare and exotic Black Bamboo to Plant and Grow Visually interesting, canes turn green to black during the growing season. The hardiest of all black bamboo species. Slower to expand with minimal control efforts needed. Count: ~10 Scientific Name: Phyllostachys Nigra 'Black' Plant Name: Bambusa Lako Cold Hardy To 30 F Common Name: Timor Black Bamboo Plant Height: 60 Feet Plant Spread: 6 Feet Soil Moisture: Constantly moist Sunlight: hot overhead sun to dappled light Design: Suits contemporary, oriental & tropical designs Garden Type: clumping bamboo Plant Seasonality: Evergreen Phyllostachys nigra, commonly known as black bamboo, is a species of bamboo, native to Hunan Province of China, and is widely cultivated elsewhere. Growing up to 25 m tall by 30 cm broad, it forms clumps of slender arching canes which turn black after two or three seasons Black bamboo is a striking and exotic choice for your garden or landscaping project. Known as the diet of choice for panda bears, bamboo is part of the Poaceae family—making it a grass, despite its height and tree-like stability. Phyllostachys nigra, commonly referred to as black bamboo, is famous for its ebony-colored stalks, or culms. It is a running bamboo, which means it spreads and grows rapidly through underground rhizomes. This can cause black bamboo to be very invasive if not controlled. FAST GROWING: The fastest-growing Bamboo, get privacy or windbreak fast! GROW TIPS: Run your sink hot water and get it as warm as possible. Fill a cup halfway up. Place the seeds in the hot water and then let them soak for 24 hours. Planting Instructions: Boil a cup of water and then let it cool to room temperature.

Don't pull the plant and roots out of the paper towel; you will want to cut the paper towel so the roots stay in the paper towel. Transplant into vermiculite and peat moss mix with the roots still in the paper towel. How to Care for Black Bamboo Plants Running bamboo types, such as black bamboo plants, are ideal for creating a dense hedge or privacy screen. Your plants should be placed 3 to 5 feet (1-1.5 m.) apart for this purpose. However, you will probably only want to consider growing black bamboo if you have a very sizable area for it spread out. There are many strategies you could employ to contain the size of a bamboo grove, such as root pruning or even a root barrier. If you’re opting for a root barrier, install the barrier at least 36 inches (91 cm.) deep between the bamboo grove and the rest of your property using materials in the trench that are impenetrable, such as rolls of fiberglass or 60 mil polypropylene. The barrier itself should protrude 2 inches (5 cm.) above the ground to discourage any wayward rhizomes. If all of this seems too daunting or if you have minimal garden space, then remember this black bamboo information: black bamboo, like other types, can also be enjoyed as a container plant. Like anything that stands out with beauty and uniqueness, this bamboo does not come without a few "torns". Black bamboo can be a tad more on the needy side when it comes to location and attention needed; it requires at least 6 hours of sunlight a day, is not an option for indoor planting, it does not tolerate wind well, and the foliage has been damaged at temperatures below 10° Fahrenheit. If a dry wind is present, plant in a protected area. Foliage loss occurs at 0° to -5° with a complete top kill of canes at around -10° to -15°. Due to this, we recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 7 and 8. It is being grown in climate zone 6 with moderate top damage during the harsh winter months. The culms are not as erect in shaded sides as some other species and tend to weep or arch over; Pruning can correct this behavior. Those who grow ‘Black Bamboo’ in western gardens love its graceful habits. The sharp contrast of color provided by the dark culms and green foliage is very desirable. New canes emerge green and turn ebony black within two years with sunlight exposure. This is reported to be the only species the culm turns true ebony in color. The culm sheath has wavy blades with prominent oral setae, auricles, and ligules. The wood is of high quality and used by many craftsmen. This bamboo species is a gregarious flowering bamboo, which means that every black bamboo plant around the world will bloom around the same time. This only happens every 40 to 60 years, and that generation of bamboo dies shortly after. The seeds can be collected and planted to start a new stand of bamboo growth. Fertilizer To promote healthy growth, you might choose to fertilize black bamboo for a boost of additional nutrients. Choose a fertilizer that is high in nitrogen for the best results; this type of fertilizer is typically best for grasses. Apply fertilizer in the late spring and again in the middle of the growing season. Harvesting Bamboo shoots make an interesting and fun addition to vegetable stir-fries and are often used in Asian cuisine. To harvest the young sprouts, wait until they are a few inches tall. Try to harvest while they are 6 inches or less for the best flavor. Using a sharp knife, cut the shoot at ground level. Be sure to harvest plants sustainably and responsibly, making sure not to strip the plant of all of its new growth. When you are ready to prepare your harvest, cut the shoots in half length-wise and remove the hard outer sheath. Then, cut them to the desired thickness and boil or fry them. Pruning Bamboo is known to be a fast-growing plant, which adds to its appeal as a natural privacy barrier. However, to keep the height of your bamboo in check, you should plan to occasionally prune the plant to your desired height. Pruning bamboo to control growth should be done in the spring. The nodes of the plant provide an easy visual cue on where to cut back the height of each stalk. Cut each stalk just above a node. In addition, curb unwanted growth of in-ground black bamboo plants by cutting new shoots that sprout from the rhizomes to ground level. Keep in mind that this will check the growth of this plant, but it is a prolific spreader once planted directly in the ground and you may not be able to control its growth simply by cutting back new growth. Propagating Black Bamboo Propagating bamboo is simple and best done by division. It is ideal to divide bamboo plants in the late winter or early spring. Water the bamboo well the day before you plan to divide it. Before dividing, cut off the top 2/3 of the culm. Using a sharp spade, dig up the section you would like to divide. You may need a saw to cut through the thick roots. From here, you can keep the clump large or divide it into smaller sections of 3 or 4 culms each. Plant each section in a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Mix in compost or other fertilizer and fill in the area. Water thoroughly. Potting and Repotting Black Bamboo Black bamboo can easily be grown in containers, which is a perfect choice for those with smaller yards or who want to keep it inside. When choosing a container, try to find one that is short, wide, and bottom-heavy. Adding rocks to the bottom of the container can help with this. Because bamboo grows to be so tall, a lighter, taller pot can easily get blown over. Since black bamboo is a running bamboo and a rapid grower, it may outgrow its pot quicker than other species. You will need to repot once your bamboo is root-bound. Potted bamboo will need more water than plants in the ground, so be sure to keep tabs on your soil moisture. Place your pot in a sunny, wind-sheltered area and enjoy it's striking looks and green foliage. WARNING Black bamboo uses runners to propagate, rather than forming clumps like many other grass varieties. As a result, its growth is considered fast and aggressive. The underground rhizomes easily lead to this plant popping up in unexpected places around your garden and yard. Eradicating it requires removing every piece of rhizome, which can prove to be a real challenge if left unchecked.

Exotic Rare Timor Black Bamboo Seeds Privacy Seed Garden Clumping Exotic Shade Screen Tropical Seeds, Organic B5 Bambusa lako, known as Timor black bamboo, is a large species of bamboo originating from the island of Timor; its black culms may reach 21 m in height. FUN AND EASY: 300+ Seeds of the rare and exotic Black Bamboo to Plant and Grow FAST GROWING: The fastest-growing Bamboo, get privacy or windbreak fast! GROW TIPS: Run your sink hot water and get it as warm as possible. Fill a cup halfway up. Place the seeds in the hot water and then let them soak for 24 hours. After that plant in a good soil. Bamboo loves heat to germinate. Over 80 degrees is optimal for germination. Count: ~ 5 Sun Exposure Full sun from an early age Light shade when young Frost Tolerance Severe Water Requirements Moderate Drought Tolerance Yes Wind Tolerance High Tolerance of Coastal Conditions Yes Botanical Name: Bambusa Lako Timor Bamboo Common Name: Black Bamboo Plants Maximum Height: 70' Maximum Diameter: 4" Minimum Temperature: 30F (VERY cold sensitive, VERY tropical. Timor Black is slower growing then the majority of bamboo, but can still be fully grown in 3-4 years if established well. Or achieve quicker growth if you purchase more established sizes! Growing Bamboo from Seed Place the bamboo seeds in a strainer and rinse them with cool water to remove any dust or debris that may be clinging to the seeds. Pour the seeds into a bowl. Make a 10 percent salt solution and pour it over the seeds. Let the seeds soak in this solution for five minutes. Pour the seeds back into the strainer and rinse off the salt solution. Soak the seeds in clear water for 15 minutes, and drain them to dry. Make a half-and-half mixture of perlite and peat moss. Moisten the mixture until you can grab a handful and just barely squeeze out a drop. Place the soil mixture in a flat planter box with a lid. A plastic sweater box with holes poked in the bottom is the ideal size and shape for this project. Draw rows in the soil mix about 1 inch deep and plant a sprinkling of seeds along each row. Alternately, dig a round hole 2 inches across and 1 inch deep. Sprinkle about 10 seeds in the bottom of the hole. Cover the surface of the mix with these holes. Cover the seeds with very fine soil mix. Place the lid on the box and move the box to a spot where it won't be disturbed. Remove the lid every three days to give the plants fresh air. Moisten the soil mix during this time if it has begun to dry out. Replace the lid after you have watered the mix. Remove the lid permanently after the seedlings reach the lid inside. The first seedlings will sprout after two to three weeks, and the seeds will continue to sprout until they have all emerged. Mix an all-purpose houseplant fertilizer according to the package directions. Pour the fertilizer into a clean spray bottle and mist the plants once they are four weeks old. Transplant the seedlings into individual pots after they have been growing for a month. Use the same soilless mix for growing the seedlings indoors.
