The Blue Atlantic
Liberia has the largest UN Peacekeeping force in the world at the moment (soon to be Sudan). UNMIL (United Nations Missions in Liberia) is 15000 troops strong from various countries. The dock we occupy is sandwiched between the Bangladesh and Nepal UN camps. An interesting aside, the best UN soldiers are apparently the Female Indian gaurds. Who knew? They guard the government buildings in Monrovia. I wouldn't have even guessed it was culturally acceptable.
