Dead Vlei (Dead Valley) is locates in the Sossussvlei National Park. “Vlei” is a bottom of a dried-out lake. The harsh climate of this place is a natural means of conservation of acacia trees which died a few centuries ago. The volume of rainfall in the area is very low, as it is even less than 5 mm per year on the coast, to 85 mm deeper inland. Morning mist (which stretches for even up to 50 kilometres) is the only source of water for the local fauna and flora.

The series called “Foreign eyes on Poland” presents the profiles of people who have any connection to Poland or who have found their home in Poland, or just a favorite place for vacation where they like to return. We will be asking them questions like; what surprised them the most and how the Poles are perceived by foreign eyes; how Poland differs from their country of origin; and whether the behavior of people is different? We will ask them many other issues. Today José from Brazil.

This is how it went down in New York City..
