The financial crisis is dominating the news, but the gathering of 192 world leaders at the United Nations in NYC continues. That's a lot of countries -- more than just Iran, Venezuela, and a few other baddies.
New Yorkers have a special welcome for all those countries that don't get all the press. Break out your atlas and enjoy! (Is there a teeny tiny country you'd like to say hello to?)

1. Mauritius, babe?
I'm smelling ham again.
Anyway, that "Burkina Faso guy" did a great job!
Now I'm going to search on Google to see if there is a Republique de G.G..

2. You have a point, Mo. We do tend to get dragged down with the negative, and that never does anybody any good.
We must firm our resolve to be positive, and think of positive situations and solutions...say, how about we have a big picnic, and auction off all the Wall Street properties that can't pay their mortgage? The sheriff does it in my town, but this would definitely be more festive! We could probably even raise a barn!

6. I love Tompkins Square. It's my new favorite park, considering Washington Square has been ripped up and made into a eternal construction pit (thanks bloomberg..)
Thankfully I knew most of those countries were in Africa. Shout out to my African History class for that one!
