I imagined this piece about Monte Carlo would be full of typos and bizarre facts & figures! Actually, the Hindu's description and history of Monte Carlo is succint and readable. Well, it is India's biggest paper @ 14m subscription and with 130+ years of history.
I have to say, I am not sure that it has a 4000km coastline, but still...and I'm not certain about this: "Monte Carlo, which lies in the French Riviera on the Mediterranean sea
in Monaco, surrounded by France and close to Italy, is one helluva
place. Not for nothing is it known internationally as a favourite haunt
of the rich and famous."
