Thanks for the feedback on The Gambia. I'm surprised how everyone takes the capitalised 'The' in stride. It just looks a little funny to me. Anyway, I've been rapidly learning about The Gambia since yesterday. You see, I'm translating a report about so called Community Forestry in The Gambia - and some Gambian-German Project.
I really like Den Haag too, btw. I've been there a few times and consider it a place I'd really like to live. I spent a fantastic night in Leiden just outside The Hague in, amongst other places, a smokey little jazz club. My other favourite Dutch town is Maastricht near Aachen; not that I know that many Dutch towns.
