Response to Sunday's Comments - 21st Jan, 2007

Thanks, everybody, for writing! I especially loved Mickedy's list of 30 different words for snow in Eskiman. It's just like in Uganda, where there are something like 30 different words for banana.

Oh, no, please don't correct me on that. I can just see all my Ugandan friends and scholars writing in with corrections - "actually, there are 58 different kinds of banana in Uganda." "In fact, there are 18 different kinds of bananas, and 42 more sub-species." Blah, blah. Anyway, point is, there are LOTS.

Wadi Halfa is not submerged in Lake Nassar. We landed at Wadi Halfa - point of entry into Sudan! However, a large part of land did get submerged, when they built a damn, making Lake Nassar rise up a whole lot.
