to take a virtual tour before a destination gets trendy.

Lots of golf courses being planned.

Oh, the natives I met pronounce it nam Bia' with the accent on the second syllable-but this may be a regional pronunciation

The Kalahari Desert, an arid region that extends into South Africa and Botswana, is one of Namibia's well-known geographical features. The Kalahari, while popularly known as a desert, has a variety of localised environments, including some verdant and technically non-desert areas. The Succulent Karoo is home to over 5,000 species of plants, nearly half of them endemic; approximately 10 percent of the world's succulents are found in the Karoo.[46] The reason behind this high productivity and endemism may be the relatively stable nature of precipitation.[47]

Namibia's Coastal Desert is one of the oldest deserts in the world. Its sand dunes, created by the strong onshore winds, are the highest in the world.[48] Because of the location of the shoreline, at the point where the Atlantic's cold water reaches Africa's hot climate, often extremely dense fog forms along the coast.[49] Near the coast there are areas where the dunes are vegetated with hammocks.[50] Namibia has rich coastal and marine resources that remain largely unexplored.[51]

Other artifacts along the dig site showed that the rubble comes from the Flintstone era. Archaeologist believe the rubble was once the statue of the twin god/goddess Pebbles and Bam-Bam.

and the special necktie mill, the world's only producer of 6’ long red ties. You should also visit the spray tan factory, where orange spray tan is produced for export in 55 gal. drums. Nambia is also a major producer of paper towels whose packages are specially rifled for accurate throwing. It produces a lot of furniture, too, so you will never have to worry about the furniture of your children.

For your recreation and entertainment, their golf courses are world class; you're guaranteed to shoot a 74 or less every time. Their restaurants serve well-done steaks with ketchup and beautiful chocolate cake, brought to your table on gold plates by naked Slovenian models.

...first he should learn a little of their language so he can speak to them without stirring up a serious international incident. I'll be glad to teach him the first three words he needs to say to them when he arrives: "Owah Tagoo Siam."

Repeat it as fast as you can until you understand it, Donald. "Owah Tagoo Siam. Owah Tagoo Siam. Owah Tagoo Siam...."

Easy melody, too. Sung to the tune of "Dixie."

1.
Oh I wish I was in a land of fiction
No one there to knock my diction
Look away, look away, look away
Nam-bi-a!

I wish I was in Nambia
Away, Away!
I wish I was in Nambia with a cup of hot covfefe
Away, away, across the sea in Nambia!
Away, away, no press near me in Nambia!

2.
Oh, I wish this wasn’t the United Nations
Speeches make for poor relations
Look away, look away, look away
Nam-bi-a!

I wish I was in Nambia
Away, Away
It must be close to Zam-bi-a
Nearby, but not exactly?
Away, away, across the sea in Nambia!
Away, away, no press near me in Nambia!

3.
Oh, I hope they look at walls of ugly marble
Ignore speeches that I garble
Look away, look away look away
Nam-bi-a!

I wish I was in Nambia
Away, Away
I’d chill out down in Nambia where the fake press cannot find me
Away, away, across the sea in Nambia!
Away, away, no press near me in Nambia!
