We learned some great stuff from our bicycle tour guide!
One of the things we had been wondering was whether Marriages are arranged here. He told us that in his Parent's generation, most marriages were arranged, but now young adults are allowed to choose their mate.
He told us that there are many MBA's (Marriage by Accident) Apparently if you get a girl pregnant out of wedlock you must Marry her. If you refuse to marry her, you spend two years in Jail. This apparently works very well to avoid young, single mothers!
Hello you two old people. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time... not sure when you are home, I don't keep track of dates that well, but I didn't want to miss your B-day today Glen - I hope you are having a wonderful day and that you have something special planned. Cheers to a fabulous year.
