The nations of the world had been formed out of various kinds of polished stones, all fitting perfectly into each other like puzzle pieces. The overall effect was impressive. And somehow fitting (no pun intended) in that this earth had been made with products from the earth's crust itself. Putting a daughter through college, I cannot afford it. Boo hoo. I checked to see whether Palau was there, and, sure enough, it had its own tiny piece of rock. Quite tiny, as you can imagine.

Obviously, it is not "Greece". I cannot figure out a way to find this out. Is it anything like "Hellas"?

Obviously, it is not "Greece". I cannot figure out a way to find this out. Is it anything like "Hellas"? While in Indonesian it is Yunani. Think Ionians. The other difficult one is Mesir, Egypt.

Now, while I may still be a pretentious git for saying that I live in Te Ika a Maui, Aotearoa, I'm a pretentious git with the government of Aotearoa on my side.
