QotD: Next On My Itinerary
What's the next country you want to visit?
Submitted by Schomer.
I can't get it to paste correctly, but I really want to visit Pfaffland, Molvania and Gastronesia.
As world travelers tend to need a sense of humor in addition to their sense of adventure, these books about traveling in fake countries are a hoot. The Molvania book makes visiting former Soviet Bloc countries sound, well, like you would imagine former Soviet Bloc countries to be. They are fun gift books - make sure you read them before passing them along. Or maybe that's just what I do (but only to family members).

speaking of former Soviet bloc countries in Central Asia, some wag coined the term "Trashcanistan" to refer to all the -stans: Afghanistan, Uzhbekistan...
Trashcanistan n. Afghanistan; any poor Middle Eastern country or central Asian republic
[sigh] and I was just down to ~20 books in the "next to read" pile...
Mariser--Stop kiddin' yerself. You *know* that pile of books will never be less that ~20.
Hee hee! I know, what an awful, awful person I am.
The purchases will be well worth the addition to the pile. We'd worry about you if you didn't have a pile of books waiting to be read.
