Bermuda

Thanks to Cricket World Cup!! came to know abt Bermuda..I actually didnt know such a country existed!!

Bermuda (The Bermuda Islands) is an overseas territory of UK in the North Atlantic Ocean. Located off the East Coast of the USA, it is around 1100 miles northeast of Miami.

Bermuda Wikipedia has more information.

Hmm..it is part of UK, it is not an independent country..then how come, it is playing as a separate entity in the world Cup?

And hey, there is a STORY behind our very own local Bermudas (shorts)..

They are so-named because of their popularity in Bermuda,where they are considered appropriate business attire for men when made of suit-like material and worn with knee-length socks, a dress shirt, tie, and blazer.

Thanks once again to Wiki Friendu
