Portfolio eye view of the world-G Part 1

G
Gabon
It is a western african country, like a lot of countries in western africa.
travel advice-a rolling gabonese gathers plenty of dust

Gambia
here we go again. Its in africa and thats about all I can say. At least it sounds like zambia where i have set foot. barrel scraping ahoy.
travel advice-seek medical attention if eaten by a lion.

Georgia
Not the bloody glodblessamerican state full of racists. Its in very eastern europe and until recently was mugged and occupied by the russians and fellow travellers. The capital is Tblisi and Lord Ned Zelic played there last season and was no doubt bloody briliant, if you ask him.
travel advice-the russians dont like countries not wanting to be their whipping boys, so go celebrate it in georgia

Germany
Plenty to go around here... The heart of central europe and the most powerful country in europe. The locals managed to todger the romans when they came a-conquering a couple of thousand years ago and that had long term effects, some of them pretty nasty. They exported the lombards to italy and the angles and the saxons to england and probably a lot more. Unfortunately under the auspices of greater prussia they got their crank on and after napoleaon bogged off, they ruined the entire 20th century. Being the bad guys in two world wars and causing immesurable damage to the continent. Of course the big one was hitlers effort which is beyond the comprehension of most people. The holocaust and endless massacres as they rampaged across the place with frightening teutonic righteousness and without mercy. The most disturbing thing is that before all those shennanigans germany was the home of philosophy and the arts and then they bloody did this. These days germany is most famous for cars, efficiency and bad fashion sense.
travel advice-go see the topography of terror in berlin, it will blow your mind

Ghana
Roselandia. Next door to nasty nigeria and seemingly a great place to visit. Rose is from ghana and she is the coolest surveyor ive met, she also knows all about fish heads, even the song. Catherine went there when she was little and took a photo of a disabled boy who fell in the toilet and couldnt get out. hmmmm. Football team is called the black stars and they arent at all shabby.
travel advice-ask rose, she might know something
