As I get prepared to head to the Orient, I will be sure to take plenty of pics and keep notes. Not sure how much TRUE internet access I will have there, but I will post things when I return.

Break a tooth Shell (Quaint Old English Saying).

And - how much FALSE internet access will there be?

Oh - I think I get it now, does it have something to do with censoring Google? I'll answer that actually.

Yes.

If you get anywhere near, give 'The Wanch' my regards?

Bit cruel with that answer really. Sorry...

If you have the wisdom to go to Hong Kong, you would find it there.

I apologise to all for being a bit of a lurker. My main computer crashed and working on my 8 year old Vaio laptop reeks.

I had a problem with my hard drive and ended up replacing it. Fortunately I had a lot saved on an external hd but not everything.

I am working my last two events tonight and tomorrow <Red Hot Chili FFeffers and Magic...errr..Tragic Basketball> and then dealing with the orchesra here.
