I live in a country with no rivers.
It's a thought didn't even occur to me until I was talking about the flooding in my home town this summer. I repeatedly used the word "river". Finally a student stopped me. In this country there are "Wadis" which are dry creek beds. If there is rain the wadis fill temporary... and empty quickly.
The concept of a river is complete foreign.

The picture is above is from Fall 2005. I'll post more later. That fall was the most colorful fall in recent memory.
