There are many reasons to love Mr. Yogato, not the least of which is that you are often greeted with a Geography trivia question to solve (doing so saves you 10% on your yogurt). The question last night was to name the five countries that only have one syllable.  After getting the first four relatively quickly (and admittedly not really pulling my weight considering I am a Geography major), as we finished our yogurt, we finally came up with the last one: Laos.  Rather than tell the owner, Steve, our answers, we decided to make a haiku out of it. The last line of the haiku is a reference to a customer there who though that Zaire should count, apparently oblivious to the defining characteristics of the question, considering that 1. It’s not one syllable, and 2. It’s not a country

About

Avatar I'm a social entrepreneur, travel writer, and picture taker. I've been swimming with baby penguins in the Galapagos, visited rat temples in India, survived an overnight train in Moscow, jumped out of a plane strapped to a guy in a leather helmet, penned a thesis on new media and elections, competed in a POGs tournament, discussed social entrepreneurship at the White House, traveled on everything from a ferry to a camel in search of adventure, and, most importantly, attended every home basketball game while a student at UCLA.
