No offence, but you forgot that it was an 'interesting' year for the filipinos too.

edit: although highlighting every sad/meaningful event would require more than what the comment box can hold.

I am sure many countries have had interesting years. However being British and doing work with America they are the two countries I know the most about personally :)

No, _l4jh said it was interesting generally, and especially for Brits/Europeans and Americans. You're free to disagree, of course.
