ReplyDeleteyes, what Gaia says is often the way I feel ...
You've been busy - at a glance, the facts you've listed appear accurate and the one I like best is No 2: '2nd least densely populated country in world after mongolia.'
Have you ever visited Africa?
Never had the pleasure of visiting any further south than The Canary Isles!
ReplyDeleteThat is who we are. And we do transgress many barriers especially when we adopt speculative and interest-based economy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dave Hambidge for the information on Namibia.
I had never been to Africa but would love to see Madagascar some day.
