When you come from a very very poor country, the last thing people ask you is "how poor is your country?" Diplomacy and politeness make them ask :
about weather - "well he had 3 cyclones in a row, 300 000 homeless people, famine, weather is bad"
about health – " I really don't know where the AIDS stats stand at this point, I'm sure someone knows"
about family – "Last time I spoke to them they were having problems with insecurity and life is tough"
about trees – "They grow they multiply they plant…"
about blogs – "let me see….FBC!"
Now you have an entire blog dedicated to them. But please keep on asking.
