U r a pasionate world traveller!

This travel blog separates itself from the pretenders. There's no other way to put it--it's just that good. Any half certain, casual or recycled-content blogger would do well to spend some time on 99+1 Countries. It's teeming with precise insights, passion and energy. And don't forget the Picasa Web Album nestled quietly in the sidebar--if you miss it, it's entirely your loss. Excellent work!

really interesting ............... keep it up
