Pourquoi la france a colonise ce bout de desert, ils auraient pu choisir un endroit plus agreable a vivre. (mais j avoue que ...

So all is right with the world, including Somaliland, until I see our plane land, that is. Uh oh, now I know how Benigno Aquino felt on the runway. I'm looking at my death, and it has four propellers. At first I thought the plane was an old DC-3, just like the first plane I flew in many years ago in my childhood. This should be interesting.
