It's our last program but we're going out with boats, baboons, and a bang.
We'll touch on some of the stories we've brought you over the years, some of the places we've been, and some of the strange and sublime people we put into your radio.
Along the way, we'll hear some of the moments that stopped us in our tracks. And hear some untold stories from our our correspondents.
We saved the best for last.

The enduring image from 1992 of the Bosnian war, taken when Ed Vulliamy and Independent Television News uncovered the existence of concentration camps in Trnopolje, above, Omarska and Keraterm.

Dining out on a country specializing in famine. There's more than kimchi at a North Korean-themed restaurant.
Speaking of menus, there's a celebrity cook on Egyptian TV pitching comfort food for an uncomfortable economy.
Then, a Bosnian memoir from a correspondent seething about the perils of the Balkan region's unresolved history.
And from Cuba, how to get along with your neighbours when you're a temperamental artist and your neighbours are the Castros.
