If you end up in Western Australia for a layover or whatever buzz me and we'll go get pissed. We tend to get ignored though - most isolated capital in the world doncha know.

Ok, developments:

My flight plan will take me through Toronto, Bangkok and Frankfurt along the way, for connections, but my travel agent tells me that I can get a later flight inside the same package if I want to stay for a while on each of these spots. So, anyone around here from these cities or close by? It's possible to stay for, like, just a day or two to buzz around a bit, see a few landmarks, and get drunk on the dirtiest pub in the area or something. Won't be bothering much.

Volunteers, speak up! :D :arr:

Cool vacation.  I always wanted to have a vacation like that.  It's a pity that you have to skip the States.

Anyhow, count me in if there's any HLPers drinking gathering in Kara's home town :)

Not sure if any of the other Dutch HLP'rs are still even alive, though. Anyone heared anything from Tiara, TCO or Darkage? (Am I forgetting anyone?)



I'm still alive and kicking, but i lurk more then i post these days:)

But i can even meet up with Venom (Nico) the Thaylisis is not that exspensive. So who knows:D

UK might also be possible nothing i cannot afford. But hotel would be a problem then it might get to exspensive.

SO if anyone wants me around in London, or Paris just drop a line:D

Good thing my dad doesn't care were i go when i go, so no permissions needed:D

Just to make it clear, my current flight plan (Made cheaper by Star Alliance's "around the world" package! Discounts if you go around the world stopping on at least three continents!) is:

01. Porto Alegre -> São Paulo
02. São Paulo -> Toronto
03. Toronto -> Vancouver
04. Vancouver -> Sydney
05. Sydney -> Bangkok
06. Bangkok -> Frankfurt
07. Frankfurt -> Tel-Aviv (Jerusalem)
08. Tel-Aviv -> Frankfurt
09. Frankfurt -> São Paulo
10. São Paulo -> Porto Alegre

The places in bold are the ones where I'm confirmed to stay (visiting Shrike, Steak and Sandwich, respectively). I may stay a bit on any of the other spots if there's anyone in the vicinity who can show me around the tourist spots and find me a cheap place to stay (but I'm inclined to stay a couple of days in Thailand anyway, would be a shame to pass through without knowing at least some of it).

I won't be spending a lot of time in Europe as initially planned because I wouldn't see much of anywhere in such a short time, so I'll do a dedicated Europe trip in the future. But if any HLPers are willing to meet me in Frankfurt, I'll stay a couple of days. Don't know the prices of plane/train tickets around there, but it can't be all that expensive, can it?

:p

Styxx, I fully expect to get a call-up to reserves duty for sometime around Feb. or Mar... my question to you is, do you want me to get out of it, or do you want to visit me on base? ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

If you can still give me some directions for tourist spots (without me being virtually robbed by the people who live off tourists), point me to a cheap place to stay, and I can show up at your base, the second option would be awesome.

I wouldn't even bat an eye at someone telling me he consitered beastiality, incest, or pedophelia (or a combineation of two or more), let alone something as aproching of normality as homosexuality.


On his blog he posted that we wanted to rape his sister just to traumatize her.  He then called her a b*tch.

I think I'd much rather drive around with you visiting those places - it's been a long, long time since I've been a tourist. :)

You could also take a detour and come to Nanjing. :p
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
