Since putting up adsense on maxpower, I have been paying attention more to the kinds of ads that come up when I do my daily google searching. Could there actually be a market for Online singles ads in Laos? I haven’t been in the dating scene in awhile *cough* and having been to Laos I can’t say it was prevalent. People seemed busy trying to make money and such. Regardless, I clicked so that the guy would have to pay the 3 cents or whatever it costs him to run that ad. Maybe he’s hedging his bets, I’m sure the singles scene will pick up there as soon is they have running water and highways and other modern stuff we all are used too.

Update: The Nauru Singles scene

Apparently, the sinlges scene in Nauru must be big too — even though the country is the 3rd smallest in the world. From the lonely planet:

The island is the poor little rich kid of the Pacific, wealthy yet sadly abused. Island culture has been assaulted by the weight of imported customs, junk food, fridges, televisions and electric cookers, but it does survive in a modified form.

Seemingly limitless mining proceeds have made Nauruans the richest people in the Pacific, but at various stages in their history people, culture, forest, soil and then subsoil have been stripped or shipped away at the whim of foreign powers. Exploitation has become an art form. The bird poop that was the island has been an economic boon to islanders, but Nauru’s interior could now only be described as an ‘ecological basket case’.

Full country name: Republic of Nauru
