TGIF:
My wife and I just returned from a three month trip to Malaysia,
Thailand and CHINA. Yes that place. In China, we heard some proverbs ;-)
which are especially applicable to Vanagon owners:

"Man who run in front of Vanagon, get tired"
"Man who run behind Vanagon, get exhausted"
"Man who drive like hell, bound to get there"
And concerning Kosovo:
"War doesn't determine who's right. War determines who's left."

When we arrived in Thailand, I learned a painful lesson that:
"Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok"
