Dear Joanna, I admire your courage and wonderful attitude towards everything, that you do, with feeling and enthusiasm! This lake "Nasser", has a surface-area of 5,250 square kilometres, as opposed to the other artificial lake, Lake Volta, in Ghana, which covers an area of 8,502 square kilometres. It was, for the people of Ghana, just as big a sacrifice, to lose even more land, at the time, but now, they are exporting electricity to many other African countries! . I lived in the UK for47 years, but returned to Germany, because of the deteriorating work-situation and the poorer getting manners, esp. lack of respect for pensioners like me!
