At this moment I have queries outstanding to (members from) the following 6 countries - I hope they respond favourably:

Warning, this is a silly message of no real value.

Cees:

You sound pretty desperate to fill in the poster. How's this suggestion: I'm soon off to Hungary, Poland, and the Czech Republic for a couple of weeks. I could take my picture in each country next to a cardboard cutout of a Pagoda then you can check off (or is that 'Czech off') 3 more countries. Good idea: Yes? No? )

Desparate does not even begin to describe it. But, when the poster is finally gracing the walls worldwide, I know my BS&T will not have been for not.
Yeah, I would like to see you tote that life-size cardboard "Tobacco Brown" around. Let us know the reactions at the airport check-in counter in each country too! In fact, the pictures of the airline attendants when they finally grasp your plan, could make a great addition to the poster artwork ;-)
