i'm thinking of a round canopy on my ankle. but whuffos might think it's a hot air balloon

true dat!!! just don't pee in the streets after a night out of drinking. as freeflir said, you'd get BEATEN!!! or more appropriately: CANED!

exactly! i never go there just to go there. i'm usually already in the area. and i've been there quite a bit, too (yearly since i was in gradeschool). but that's because i have family that lives less than 2 hours by plane away. so when i'm in the area, it's either hongkong, singapore, malaysia, or thailand. personally, i like singapore better (cleaner and people are not as rude).

So it's like Flushing,NY? lol

it's missing one slot... the one on the crotch!

have you been to new york city? it's just like that but with a lot more asian people. and a lot cheaper, too. oh, and not to mention a lot warmer. when are you planning on going? i'll be there dec27-jan2.

to put any dvds on your ipod, you'll need to convert them first to an .mp4 format. to do that, you'll need Handbrake (it's a free download). once converted, you can add your movies to iTunes then synch your iPod.
