The Worst (sponsorship opportunities)

I don't know where to start. If you ever dropped out of life to travel (circuses count), this header from Lonely Planet might grab you. (It did me.)

From there, dive into the featured article, which you may relate to (ESP if you carnied): "World's Worst Capitals." For those of you from The Big Island (usa), you'll appreciate in an appropriately petty way that DC didn't make the list (probably a conspiracy).

It's an interesting little article / list of comments. Yes, the bizarre historical and cultural-political seeds that lead to contextual "modernity" can be fascinating (esp. if you're stuck in a taxi or jail cell). But when you finish reading that one... you'll delight in the SPONSORS. Uh... Travel agents?

(Ouch... it's all about DC? In the context of Nigeria, and that cute, harsh-looking blonde chick?) Yes, let's go to DC, after all. Umm... therefore I travel? And what's with "get matched?"

I just want to remind everyone: this advertisement was brought to you by the best-in-class, highly evolved information system of... oh, never mind.
