Hi NSA! 

 

The NSA doesn't have to resort to low-tech intel gathering like this. Their spy satellites can track us through the microchips we get implanted with every vaccination from birth onward. Not to mention the microwave dishes that read our thoughts.

Of course, I just wanted to make it easy for their keywords to track you guys down.

This thread made me look up Auckland, and apparently the Sky Tower here (the pointy one you might've seen in pictures) is actually the 25th tallest tower in the world. And the tallest in the Southern Hemisphere. Not too bad if I do say so myself.

13 people in Asia, at least 10%. It's doing pretty great

 

Not bad for Latin America, let's hope it can reach 10 people soon enough

I must recognize that this is not a very fun place, but it is a very good region for gastronomy. We love good food, and the wines of the region (Ribera de Duero) are considered among the best of the world. Glad he enjoyed while he was here

You shouldn't be ashamed, I mean Maryland has such beautiful...such great...oh wait I don't know anything special about Maryland It's the state with Baltimore right?

 

By the way Florence could be beautiful but I have a preference for Amsterdam in The Netherlands :

@Fullbuster 

 

I love Amsterdam!

 

For multiple reasons. 

 

But seriously, it's beautiful.

 

The most sensible vice laws on the planet don't hurt either.

It's incredible to know that this (made in 1400's) is still the largest dome in brickwork ever built. (Source: Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Cathedral)

For my part it's just about beauty, lifestyle, openness. I don't care about drugs

Love a lot of Italian, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Greek, UK (I wasnt in IRL yet),... cities, also Kopenhagen (DK), Czech, Hungarian, and NL's, 

But in relation to size and differences and....

I am impressed about a lot of buildings and natural details in Malta:

biggest dome build without ... what is the word for the steel or bamboo 'ladders and...' around a building construction site? = 3rd biggest dome on the world.

Biggest fort, #? one of the biggest naval building water thingies, huge monolith temples 1000+ years older than Stonehenge (e.g. the Ġgantija temples ~ 5500 years old, and as such 2nd oldest building worldwide = older than the pyramids of Egypt, the stones worked on in a pre-metal time), biggest under the earth temple/graveyard of the world, remaining traces from so many different cultures and times.

And the probably extremest of all regions WW II history bombing... wise. I mean, neither the Italians nor the Germans ever managed to get even a foot on that little Island group?

Plus where did the 'train' marks come from (and why the hell there are no marks for how they moved whatever went over that, see soft ground?)
