I am a fan of background information related to world events. Geographical information is of great importance to those who have to deal with the conflict in Georgia/Ossetia these days. The various types of climate need to be taken into account on all levels - from the inside and outside. Check out Foreingergrl's pages for more intel on this hot spot on our planet.
