A notebook bought in Andorra will still work in the US but you have to use an adapter and voltage converter. Electricity plug is type C or F, voltage is 230 V at 50 Hz. frequency. You will also notice a different notebook keyboard layout.

what do you think is the main idea in this short paragraph

what do you think is the main idea in this short paragraph?
one night in the seventies, friends and I, probably stoned, created a travel agency of the mind. We'd offer package deals to tiny countries (Andorra, San Marino, Fiji), or to countries colored green on the globe, or we'd organize terrorism tours to the sites of bombings, kidnappings and assassinations. (I used to walk a version of that in Washington on my way to work.) We would call our agency Book in Haste, Repent at Leisure. just aliitle lost if someone can help me i would appreciate it thanks...

Demographics of Andorra, what is problem

Demographics of Andorra, what is problem?
In Andorra the sex ratio at birth is normal (106-107 boys/100 girls) but very high males in working group (108 men/100 women compared with 101-102 men/100 women in Western Europe) and especially at age over 65 (>90 men/100men compared 75men/100men in Western Europe). Sorry, i type mistake (>90 men/100 women compared 75men/100 women in Western Europe)

I personally don't see a problem. There are more men than usual, compared to women - and this may mean population growth is slower as a result, but this shouldn't be a major problem. However, the fact that the m/f ratio is so high in the senior-citizen population, may indicate that either a) women are dying at a high rate than in other countries in the area, or b) men are living much longer on the average there. It would be very interesting to find out which of these two alternatives is the case!!

Lots of us are against homosexuality, but do not hate homosexuals. Frightening that any nations would sanction by exclusion the extrajudicial, summary execution of anyone. Exception is terrorists, of course.
