<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><item><title>Country of the Week</title><description>My knowledge of other contries and their culture, politics, geography, etc., is pretty bad, so my wife and myself decided to try something - every week, we're going to pick a country, and try to learn something about it.&lt;p&gt;&#13;
The only way to do this, of course, is with technology, so I created this very simple website that every week will present a new country, with a couple of simple links. &lt;p&gt;&#13;
You can have a look at the &lt;a href=http://www.stevex.org/CountryOfTheWeek&gt;Country of the Week&lt;/a&gt; page - it's awfully minimal, maybe I'll add new links once I can find sources for information about "every" country..&lt;p&gt;&#13;
It's completely random (but it will go through all 267 countries before starting over), and the first country it picked is Western Sahara.  I didn't even know this was a country; now I know there's a quarter million nomads living there with less than two thousand phone lines for the entire country.&#13;
