That's certainly one of the geographical areas in which I'd like to narrate some stories, I mean, episodes.

Yup. And let's not forget that the last remaining portion of Yugoslavia changed its name to "Federation of Serbia and Montenegro". That was in the paper yesterday.

By the way, I still think that "Ceylon" sounds better than Sri Lanka (pronounced "Shree Lankaaah"), and Cathay would be a good name for China. I love to confuse the hell out of people with baroque, fanciful names of old. ;-)
