And, since Fran was thinking of a series of countries beginning with "I," Indonesia was one that she named, so kudos to Fran.
[Bonus trivia item: Did y'all know that "kudos" is a singular Greek word, not a plural? Rhymes with "hoss" not with "doze." So, next time, remember that it takes a singular verb, just as media requires a plural verb form. This moment of pedantry was brought to you by my sensitive ears. We now return to our regular program.]
Welcome, friends, from across the Pacific and from the other end of the Americas. Nice to have you here.
The Argentine flag is another that I have in my physical collection, along with Chile, both countries that my ex visited on business trips. Nor can I forget Monica the Spanish tutor who was from Argentina.
Selamat! I am honored also to have a visit from Indonesia. As the internet links folks from all around the globe I pray that people may connect in friendship and dialogue, fostering the vision of Dr. King (see below) so that all peoples may live together in peace and justice, working together for the good of all.
