I can't quite follow you here, having visited several parts of Africa and enjoyed the rail travel (better by helicopter these days to Kruger park and probably avoid Entebbe FTTB rail-wise) but anyway I was wondering who built those railways? Of course it's the Chinese who'll be doing the upgrade—they say—with some high speed stuff well on the way and deranged lunatics not presenting much of a challenge so far. The real problem area has already been deforested so at 500km/h with their latest laser devices on high power I can't see any real obstacles. Africa could even prosper one day.

The "Asian Brown Cloud," a 2-mile-thick blanket of pollution over South Asia, may be causing the premature deaths of a half-million people in India each year, deadly flooding in some areas and drought in others, according to the biggest-ever scientific study of the phenomenon. The grimy cocktail of ash, soot, acids and other damaging airborne particles is as much the result of low-tech polluters like wood- and dung-burning stoves

How often have we heard that South Asia is the cradle of enlightenment? No doubt its morbidly obese sex gurus perched on silk cushions deliver something mistaken for enlightenment to hallucinating Westerners but their controlled emotional output gives the game away immediately. They know that I know that and that there'll never be intercourse between us despite the dung fumes. We're talking VISIBLE DUNG FUMES, I'll repeat that:
