It's true! Vanuatu is really happiest country on the world! Greetings from Czech Republic!

[eliaviel1]

I came back from Vanuatu after a three weeks holiday. There are many things which can be learnt from these people. The respect for their visitors and old people, their gentleness and hospitality. To me they looked so naive and peaceful. I love this country for its great beauty and culture

[BBnose]

@Jimmyretired (aka, Jimmy retarded) =Taiwanese SHIT-EATER

A 47-year-old, jobless, Taiwanese freak suffers from a massive Psychiatric Disorder in Montreal, Canada. The sicko channels his desire for communication in a perverted way and becomes an Internet psycho / faggot / pedophile on YouTube 24 x 7, 365 x 3+ yrs

He eats shit for a living and bullshits in incoherent TAIWANESE ENGLISH with 100+ accounts to seek attention by provocation and laugh at his own retarded wit. LOL
