Now that we have the nice tag cloud down on the left of the screen, we can see which countries get mentioned more often here. This mostly has to do with who blogs more often, and which countries have more bloggers, and so on.

I can remember struggling to do my homework during power cuts due to strikes back in the 1970s, trying to read by the light of a paraffin lamp when we lived in Ivory Coast in the 1980′s and 1990s.
