Johannesburg, South Africa. Me with the
guard at the Emporer's Palace casino in
Johannesburg. Didn't do much else in
Joburg but gamble! Having to see the rest of
the country another time!

Bucharest, Romania. Picture at left is the Palace of the Parliament, built by the dictator Nicolae Ceausescu. It is the largest
building in Europe and the third largest in the world. Above center is a street in Bucharest, and top right is an arch

Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Absolutely beautiful town of
Ljubljana. Small cafes, nice
places to walk and
see...great place to visit. The
country is in the south of
Europe, close to Italy.

Russia
Bratislava, Slovakia.
The town of Bratislava is
very nice and quaint
European city. Pictures
are both of Bratislava.
Outside of old town,
however, it has a very
Soviet feel! Slovakia
used to be a part of
Czechoslovakia. They
country is located in the
middle of Europe.

Outside Doha, Qatar.
We all went Sand
Duning with some
friends Faras and Owen.
Drove all over them and
at times at some pretty
scary angles. Top right:
Bob, May, and I at one of
the dunes. Left, May,
Bob and Faras. To the
right, Owen and our bad
luck with three flat tires!
Bottom left, the place
where we got one of the
tires fixed. Bottom right,
last effort to fill up the
tire. Helped by a local
Qatari and his group of
Japanese tourists also
doing the dune bashing
with trucks.

Doha, Qatar. Nothing
like dressing up in the
traditional local clothes
and then going to get a
cheap haircut/massage
from the local Indian
saloon owner (they
spell it saloon instead
of salon--everywhere!_
