“I was in Granada last year. Smells good there (spice island). “

I hate to be picky, but I wish those two announcers would learn to say Beijing correctly. It is NOT a soft ‘j’! It is ‘jing’ as in ‘jing-oism’ or ‘jingle’!!

(well — I am picky! Got a problem with that?)

There’s no way I can follow their alphabet, and you can’t read the nnames of the next country in line, with that light yellow print on red. Whose idea was that????

Earlier they said there is no set alphabet, it’s done by how many strokes it takes to write the letter.
