(Saudi does not isuue tourist visas).

They don't have a need. No one in their right mind wants to go there....

The news last week is that the Antarctic ice sheet is growing, so there is plenty of room there.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'd rather live in Monte-Carlo than Antarctica or Saudi Arabia, latter of which is especially not much fun for women :-)

Grand Prix weekend is just once a year and the hoards come and go in four days. So it's not too bad.

This is not normal tourism I am talking about. Imagine 200,000 tourists descending on a town of 30,000 residents on paper, with probably 15,000 residents in fact. Even cell phones don't work (too many calls).

Some really good parties on yachts, though...
