Honduras? That's in Central America!

Honduras? That's in Central America!

This t-shirt was designed back in 1998 when I was going to my village
in Norway.
Some people suggested we added the "Central America" to avoid
questions like, "Where in the Middle East is Honduras located?"...
Analú (HON)...in Central America

Summary at 150.

The shirt below is the 150th picture in the CISV shirt collection to date. Hooray! Time for a little summary of how things have been developing here and a few thoughts for the future of the archive:
  • Thanks again to Toby, Zeke and the other power-contributors. You make the site go round.
  • Funny to see a CISV-bikini as the most-loved shirt - I suspect, it's mostly males voting here. Also interesting that two more pairs of underwear can be found in the top 20.
  • As you might have noticed I made a few modifications in the last weeks: A new menu, a page that explains how to contribute, an about section, and a special page with (almost) all shirts.
  • You can now easily tell your friends about a particulat shirt you like by clicking the littte envelop under every post, which opens the "e-mail-this-shirt"-page.
  • Interested in a CISV shirts calendar?
  • If there was a chance to vote for most controversial shirt, it would probably be this one. Personally, I'm undecided whether the shirt should be here in the collection, but the discussion in the comments section is too good to be deleted (for now).
  • The "Shirt of the day" is meanwhile displayed on three CISV sites. If you are a CISV webmaster, and would like to add this feature to your site, please send me a note.
  • We're still trying to solve the CISV shirt mystery. Anybody know anything?
  • There's around 100 page-visits to the site every day, which is fantastic. I have to admit, though, that if somebody clicks around through the archives or on the "I-love-this-shirt"-link they are counted multiple times...
  • If you have any ideas, how to make the shirts archive more interesting, please write them into the comments section.
The other reason I'm writing this summary, is that I have now officialy run out of shirt pictures. Time for you guys out there to grab a camera (again), and send me your shirts. There must be another quadrillion more CISV shirts on the globe... Cheers, Nick

Zeke (CRC)'s last shirt (for now: "This is one of the oldest tshirts (as an adult) that I have. I can't really remember when I got it but it's probably more than 10 years ago."

Zeke (CRC): "I got this as a present from Mab who was the leader of the delegation from Brasil that attended the camp here in Costa Rica in December 2000 - January 2001when I was camp director of that village." While Zeke is challenging Toby as #1 contributor to the t-shirt archive, there is no doubt that the most and coolest t-shirts come from Sao Paulo. ;) Nick
