No, that's not a sneeze, it's French for rubber. How do I know that? Mr. Rubberhands told me so.
For those of you who have met Mr. Rubberhands, here's a link to a BBC News photo journal showing the Firestone Rubber Plantation (the biggest in the world) in Liberia. It made me laugh. It also got that song stuck in my head again. Damn.
ps - (It also made me angry that a Japanese (formerly US) firm is paying the workers $3/day. I wonder what their executives make over in Tokyo. But let's not go there.)

These pages include the musings of a young, happy professional in the field of international development finance. Living in DC and travelling the globe has given me a lot to say. You can enjoy my philosophical (or sometimes shallow) thoughts on our current world, or dive into the archive. There, you can venture back into my days in grad school at the University of Denver and roam around my memories of my time as a Peace Corps volunteer in Guinea. Either one you choose, there is one rule: Don't take this world too seriously. That ruins the fun.
