    [​IMG] Thats right people! I am going the nation of never ending warfare and fear! Where people are running around with bazookas on the street and where *every* kid hates highschool! ;)
    I will see real life religous fanatics!!! :D
    And of course other cool stuff!
    By now you have probably got it that I am off to the US of A. Will spend a two week vacation in the 'Great Satan' as Khomenei so colourfully calls it ;)
    Dont know if anyone really cares but I just had to say it. I am bit afraid of all the evil NRA people there...perhaps they will think I am a muslim and shoot me on the spot! :p

    Khomenei indeed said so before he joined the eternal BBQ with his ol' buddies Adolf, Josef, Pol and Idi .... :evil:

    Joacqin, get yourself a baseball cap and an NRA t-shirt (like " ... you need to take my gun from my dead, cold hands!") to disguise yourself as a classical white-trash US right-winger and you're on the safe side ... to some point :D Good fun anyway ... and report timely about all the weird encounters you'll unavoidably will have :p :D

    Go see the Skywalker Ranch! Wildfire might hang around there too Oh.. And BigB :)

    Send Tal a postcard, then he can put it as screenshot of the week.

    Or a new feature, "Postcards from around the world". If Tal would like postcards of course. *heh*

    [​IMG] Hmm, now there's an idea. Anyone wanna volounteer to be the SP postcard collector? We could set up a permanent gallery of scanned postcards here on SP. All you'd need to do is recieve and scan the postcards and then e-mail them to me to put online. I think it's a great idea... So, would anyone want to do it?

    Two weeks in any country is just long enough to reinforce any stereotypes one had when one arrived. Stay another two, joacquin. You might be surprised.

    Indeed I did :) My father knows the British Consolate in San Francisco, who knows George Lucas, so he arranged for us to have a tour around the Skywaler Ranch :)
