As the days get longer and warmer, memories of iGosian summers past call to us demanding that we lose focus, at least for a few seconds, and remember that great land that so many love to visit. Therefore, Cucumbers and Tomatoes is proud to introduce our new Monday Memories of iGosia series. Each Monday leading up to the summer we will greet you with thoughts, images, facts, and even new things to expect in iGosian tourism season 2012.  Students who subscribe to our RSS feed, Twitter account, or just refresh the Cucumbers and Tomatoes page incessantly will find their fix on Monday mornings. After a moment to reflect and maybe even post a comment or two, they will be able to focus again on diagraming sentences, chemistry labs, math equations, and world history. You are so welcome, teachers.

So thanks for joining us for the first edition ever of Monday Memories of iGosia. Facts: iGosia is officially known as The People’s Republic of iGosia. The official language is iGosian, however there is no written form. With tourism being such a big part of the iGosian economy, most of the people have learned to speak English, however many visitors to iGosia find it difficult to understand with the iGosian accent. You will also hear some words spoken in the native iGosian tongue in stressful situations, if such situations somehow arise.

Many tourists leave iGosia with vivid memories of specific iGosians that impacted their lives. This is the iGosian way. Perhaps this summer, you will be impacted by an encounter with a native iGosian such as the infamous “money for my baby” lady from last summer. There’s something to hope for as we close the first edition of Monday Memories of iGosia. See you next week.
