Travel alert: Lonely Planet refers would-be travelers to Uganda to the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office travel advice on the country:
“There is very little social tolerance of homosexuality, which is illegal. There have been moves, initiated by a Ugandan MP, to introduce reactionary legislation that would further criminalize homosexuality and introduce the death penalty for some activity… you should be aware that homosexuality is generally seen as taboo and exists on the margins of society.”
Travel to areas of northeastern Uganda is not recommended – seek specific advice if you are seeking to travel to Kidepo Valley National Park.

One version of the sign features the village name with an additional sign beneath it, with the words “Bitte – nicht so schnell!” (“Please — not so fast!”). The lower sign — which features an illustration of two children — is meant to advise drivers to watch their speed, but tourists see this as a double meaning coupled with the village name.

Local mayor Franz Meindl had previously complained about tourists flocking to the village to be photographed in front of the ‘F***ing’ road signs. He said: “They have been a nuisance for years, some even strip off naked, and the worst steal the ‘F***ing’ signs. They think its funny but a new ‘F***ing’ sign is expensive.

Twenty five years ago a German 5 year-old boy, Frank Uesbec, threw a message in the bottle into the Baltic Sea from a ferry during a family holiday to Denmark. The years have passed, and I am sure he never thought about the message. But something interesting happened. After a quoter of a century the message got to the shores of Baltic Sea. Thirteen-year-old Daniil Korotkikh was walking on a beach in Russia when he saw a bottle in the sand. It was written in German and it said: “My name is Frank and I’m five years old. My dad and I are traveling on a ship to Denmark. If you find this letter, please write back to me, and I will write back to you.”

The letter was written in the summer of 1987, and the boy wanted to answer to the message he found. He found Frank on the internet and told him about the message he found, and you may think of his surprise. 30 year-old man and 13 year-old boy have decided not to brake the connection they have and to keep on writing to each other. Both of them believe in meeting soon.
