panem et circences

a) bread and circuses in Latin.
b) the main raison d'être of the American media
the Latin phrase panem et circences can also be translated into modern American English as fast food and entertainment (whether it's sports, the movies, bowling, the media, or computer games) rather than bread and circuses as in The Roman Empire

Saint Pierre et Miquelon

An island located south of Newfoundland and Labrador with a population of 6,080 as of January 2011. It is now today seen as a fantastic place to visit, and while very little know about it, those who do have been returning, concurrent visitors.
I typically enjoy watching people enjoy the views of Saint Pierre et Miquelon.
