Surprisingly popular

I am a bit surprised to report that the most popular pages on this blog are one in which I lament that I don’t have a passport from Côte d’Ivoire. And the other is a tirade about Coca-Cola and its presence in a couple of TV shows. Unusual ones for a constant stream of long-tail ‘popularity’.

Congo passport

Who doesn’t want passports with wild animals on the cover? First Côte d’Ivoire’s passport and now Congo! Okay, yeah… I don’t think anyone really wants this one, but you know… the cover!

Congo!

Congo!

I want a passport from Côte d’Ivoire/Ivory Coast

Standard

Everyone who knows me knows that I love collecting a rainbow of passports. I would like a green one, if only one were easy to get. When I discovered that the national passport of Côte d’Ivoire/Ivory Coast is not only green but has an elephant on its cover, I started lusting for it.

Sure, I have never set foot anywhere in Africa, let alone Ivory Coast – but by golly, I would become a tireless campaigner for Ivorian trade and tourism if I could just have a passport bearing the likeness of an elephant on the front! I mean, who wouldn’t sell their soul for that??

Please give me an Ivorian passport!
