Vacation thread
Wow! What a great idea! I think I'll take advantage if it! I'm going to be on vacation with intermittent (if any) access until January. Have a great holiday season!

Thanks all! Back now.
Quick update, was in southern china so had major google withdrawal, shared Internet over dial up with both hotels, couldn't post, visit neighbors (Christmas quests stalled for 3 weeks) and intermittent access to my own Springfield as well as almost no access to the board. Although I think twice it cleared up. Censureship is weird!
Anyway, here's a pic from my hotel balcony looking out at the main beach of Sanya http://i.imgur.com/H8ugp.jpg and another from my glassed in balcony in Guangzhou. http://i.imgur.com/bLjbt.jpg
Sanya was sad. My wife was telling me how 2 years ago there had been a great thriving food culture area but when she went back we found out the govt had bulldozed it in its program to turn the island into the official chinese island vacation resort. No great food anywhere left. Sad.
Guangzhou (formerly known as canton has greatly suffered from modernization as well. We never found food any better than that we can find in the immigrated Chinese communities in S.F., Oakland, or L.A.. (With the caveat to stay away from the Chinese-American Food places if you want a great meal.
Anyway, that was long. I'm back. Going to see I I can get enough coins to get SLH before I buy a funzo. I like the burns monster, but the gagging cuteness of the funzo. Not my thing.
