Visited Rhodesia and Zimbabwe many times as well as South Africa both before and after Nelson Mandela was elected president. Even had lunch with Thabo Mbeke at the Pamodsi in Lusaka when the ANC was still based in Lusaka.
Wars were going on in Mozambique, Angola, Zaire ... and they spilled over into Zambia. Everyone had guns and moving around Lusaka by day could be dangerous ... by night it was suicidal. Both Ian Smith's army and the various Rhodesian freedom fighters came and went in Southern Province as they pleased. Drunk soldiers manning the Kafue River bridge fired everything including anti-aircraft weaponry as the spirit moved them. I lived nearby.
Please tell me all you know about that region of the world.
Also lived in Pakistan around the time of 9/11 when all the airlines, including Thai stopped serving Lahore and embassies were evacuating personnel ... even the British Council closed up shop ...and one group or another was bombing churches, schools & hospitals... I stayed. Had to fly to India to get a flight into Thailand for a holiday.
Been to Iran too.
You?

As you commented last month latintopxxx...."cheap shots are easy" (30 March)
It would be nice (read..unbelievable!) if there was a bit less bitching on this forum.

Wow, I'm duly impressed. And I'm jealous of the air miles you must have accumulated.
Re: Final nail in the coffin ????????
Other countries can cater for the tourists who want beaches and monuments, but those who want a few gogo bars as well will probably continue visiting Thailand.
