I LOVE the first picture you've got here. It's so moody and bright all at once. It makes me want to visit there.

Ok, now I'll go back and read the post.

40 parties on the ballot?!?! That sounds like an incredible feat. We have several, but there are only 2 on the presidential ballot with any real chance of winning the election. Hopefully someday that will change and we will vote for people based on their policies and abilities rather than party affiliation.
