Default Saudi Arabia opens its doors to tourists

Following up to David Horne, _the_ chancellor of the duchy of
besses o' th' barn and prestwich tesco 24h offy

This came up in conversation with the NZ cussies, but i'm not
much atracted to SE Asia.


Have you been to Thailand? Parts of it, and other countries in the area
can be achingly beautiful- even the famous tourist spots, like Phang Nga
Bay.


No, I'm sure its nice. If I ever bother with long flights it will
almost certainly be south America as first choice, maybe combined
with the Galapagos. Other choice would be Antarctica. Or combine
Antarctica with Patagonia. I would also like to see the Himalaya.
But at the moment I'm becoming increasingly obsessed with the
Scottish islands, off to Unst again in a few weeks.Then there's
the bits of Spain I haven't done, Ibiza, Gran Canaria and
Alicante, winter for those three I think.

It seems to me its the pollution that's a bigger hurdle than the
fuel.


If we can diversify the types of fuel we use, the pollution issue
shouldn't be such a problem. It's the almost sole use of fossil fuels
that causes the imbalance.


doesn't burning bio diesel has the same problem as mineral oil?


Pretty much, yes. But then bio diesel is practically a fossil fuel,
even if it's not.

Or you could visit Mecca during the Haj and watch the crowds stampede

Infidels aren't allowed to witness the Haj. Especially those snarking
on someone else's religion.



I think we should drop a big fat nuclear bomb on Mecca druing the Haj...
