No 65: Geognos website

THIS website gives information about countries including a lot of useful economic info.

First go to the website and choose a country (here I am choosing Barbados).




At the top of the Barbabos screen you can see maps and photos and links to topics:




It's quite nice just to browse the photos, and as you do the map will show you where they were taken. However, if you want to get to the serious business of finding out Barbados's economy, click on the 'Economy' link and you will get to this:



All of which can help you to amaze your friends by, for example, telling them three really interesting facts about Barbados they never knew and never knew they wanted to know.

1. Russia is the 3rd biggest importer into Barbados
2. 75% of its jobs are in services
3. It only has 1 TV station

Perhaps some of you might like to post equally exciting facts about your or other country's economies.
