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.....

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):

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

Why do you want to know? You want something, don't you?

yes..i was simplylooking for a postcard from there

:-(

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...

sorry laszlo
forget this post

i wrote that cos i m still looking for a postcard from this place
i need just 1 postcard and so far i havent managed to get it
u r right, why people should bother to spend their time and money for this, i agree with u,but not all people are like u maybe
