<div id="ygrps-yiv-1358837536">Hello,<br/>
I was hoping this newsletter was a specialist on<br/>
borders, I seem to be in the wrong letter.<br/>
<br/>
I am very familiar with the Thontree, used while I waz<br/>
in Iraq a in Sept of 2004, but is annoyingly slow for<br/>
quick answers, plus tons of bullshitters who just sit<br/>
around.<br/>
<br/>
There are very few English books for sale in Morocco<br/>
and the travelers are 95 percent French, so hard to<br/>
copy or get a book, I try everday.<br/>
<br/>
Thank for the one great link sent private I believe<br/>
<a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.nicolette.dk/borderbase/index.php">http://www.nicolette.dk/borderbase/index.php</a><br/>
But does not have comprehensive data on this area.<br/>
<br/>
So thank you and good bye from Essaouira, Morocco as I<br/>
now unsubscribe.<br/>

I recommend investing in a travel guide such as Lonely<br/>
Planet&#39;s &quot;North <br/>
Africa&quot; or &quot;Africa&quot; titles for details on<br/>
visas/borders. Otherwise check <br/>
with embassies in Morocco if that&#39;s your current<br/>
location. If you can&#39;t <br/>
visit them in person and they don&#39;t have<br/>
email/websites, try the embassies <br/>
of those countries in the UK or US etc. The will<br/>
generally be easier to <br/>
contact and perhaps more likely to respond.<br/>
<br/>
Lonely Planet&#39;s thorn tree site is the best place to<br/>
ask questions and get <br/>
up to the minute answers from other travellers.<br/>
The Africa section is at <br/>

Other info is posted to their postcards site. Eg for<br/>
the Morocco/Mauritania <br/>
border, see<br/>

you can search by keyword to locate specific<br/>
countries/themes, eg visas etc.</div>
