hardnosethehighway 03:22 UTC 19 Feb 2014 | Did you see the post by that ho-hum Russian who compared Tuvaluans to Fur Seals? He spent two weeks there and never even went for a boat ride-talk about boring..... | 3
Laszlo 04:24 UTC 19 Feb 2014 | So few people visit Tuvalu that youzr chances of finding here anyone who is visiting 'lately' are slim. On the subject of 'boring' - when I was there, I did visit several of the motus of Funafuti atoll, went on a trip taking in the 4 northernmost outer islands, and caught a huge traditional festival in Funafuti town itself, where I made lots of local friends, too. It was great. Uploaded a few of my photos here for a taster (click on them to enlarge): http://forum.index.hu/Article/viewArticle?a=106308210&t=9156867 | 4
peter_n_margaret 08:48 UTC 19 Feb 2014 | why this answer peter? i asked another thing i know where tuvalu is I had no doubt you know where it is. That is the title of the book. I was simply recommending a good book on the subject written by a People's Lawyer volunteer who spent a couple of years there. If you are not interested in that, that's fine. Cheers, Peter | 5

Laszlo 12:38 UTC 23 Feb 2014 | How many times have we read these postcard requests on this branch? ;-) It still eludes me why people want postcards from complete strangers - and why they think those strangers should bother (spend their time and money on) sending them... | 11
born2travell 12:46 UTC 23 Feb 2014 | sorry laszlo forget this post | 12
