The Australian I met who had been to the Gambia was an opthalmologist. He was in The Gambia investigating river blindness incidence (or something like that) for WHO. He was notable for the pebble-lense glasses he wore himself and the fact that he hadn't heard my one and only opthalmology joke - what do you call an Alaskan eye doctor? - an optical Aleutian.

I know nothing about The Gambia beyond what has been said above.

Den Hague is the CAPITAL of Holland. It's not a town, it's a city. It's quite extraordinarily beautiful, too.
