    Asif, apologies that South Africa's lousey foreign exchange rate ptevents me donating anything useful. I do have left over some 5 rouble plastic tokens for the Moscow tube train from 1997. But alas, I am told they have now been replaced by magnetic swipe cards.   

   Still, that line on your c.v. should help you get a Fulbright or somethng or other? Unless there is red tape hassles like you are a Bangladeshi citizen resident in the USA, etc, etc.
