Hi guys,
did you miss me??
thanks Irona for keeping the feminin presence here! :)
And welcome to sylvain, living in France, and must be french with such a name. English people can't pronounce that name : Sylvain! :)
I'm not much interested in your gaming dicussion, so I will not much interfere. :)
I was in Las vegas, the gambling city. But I was wise enough not to spend all my money. Actually you play and you loose, but often you win, so after all you keep on spedning the money you won. So the result is not so bad. But 9 hours jet lag is a lot... wow... Hopefully I don't work this week so I could sleep all I wanted every morning!
Taht's also why you don't see me often. As I have to switch on the computer to be connected and I have lots of other things to do... So I don't come over here too much.
See you later...
have a nice week-end.
Marina
Vegas :)
Well, you just have to say that you will spend a certain amount of money on gambling and if you've run over that limit then stop. It's true that it might be hard to resist the temptation of trying to win your losses back, but once you are doing that you can ask yourself some serious questions.
And actually when I went there with a few friends, three out of five had a postive balance at the end of the four days. Granted, one of us had spent a lot of money on blackjack. That guy is a bit crazy anyways ;) I spent the 100$ that I won on new clothes :)
Sweden (heja sverige)...
I admit, I haven't read all 1160 replies in this thread... So why isn't Sweden in the poll?
I'm a fan of Atlantic City myself... it's the east coast Vegas ;).Quote:

You basically have the same gambling opportunities, but there's a nice environment, and it's not sweltering hot, and you have the ocean. Very convenient. You can't say Vegas has a boardwalk.

Well if you would like to get Sweden into the poll, you should send a private message to Gabriel or Brad. I'm not sure that they change the poll at this time though :/
solarflare, I'm not from the US, so going to Vegas was part of a really far trip ;) I haven't been in Atlantic City, but I guess it's a bit the same except for the setting, no ?
There is 192 countries right now on that planet (thanks to one of the post in that thread ;) ), and at first, there was really few choice in the poll. The discussion have made Moderator to add options to the poll, so the most popular countries were added (or those we "thought" to be popular, Mexico is not yet popular... ;) ) Seem there was not a lot from Sweden. ;)Quote:

Sweden people are still welcome here, and for all those who votes "others", let us know where you are from, if their is a lot from the same country, we'll make pressure on moderator to add it :) :D ;)
JeffB
Luxembourg doesn't seem to very popular either :p
True. I'm not sure if your trip was for business or for leisure (sounds like leisure because you spent the duration gambling ;)), but the east coast is a more interesting place to be, in my opinion. Also a lot closer to you, saving half a day of travel time! But I guess the whole point to traveling is to go somewhere far away, not somewhere nearby...Quote:

Top 3 of the Where are you from poll
USA ----- 106 --- 22.13%
Other ----- 80 --- 16.70%
India ----- 75 --- 15.66%
At last, there is no more options in the poll that have 0 votes, but there is still 16,70 % of others. Is there a lack in the poll? A country we forget to add? Should we start a new poll "From which other country are you?" :D
JeffB
Traditionally, the "other" catergory is not included in the top votes list, because it's not a true catergory. Here are the top five countries, without "other":Quote:

[list=1][*]USA- 106 people, 22.13%[*]India- 75 people, 15.66%[*]China- 39 people, 8.14%[*]Canada- 27 people, 5.64%[*]UK- 26 people, 5.43%
[/list=1]
Down at the bottom of the list: Central America, Iceland, Luxembourgh, Mexico.
The "Where are we from" poll would make more sense and be more inclusive if it were just locations, such as "middle east," "western europe," "southeast asia," etc. That way no one would feel left out... but I guess it's too late to start over ;).
:cool: :rolleyes: :D :) :D :D
Actyually, my point was that Others appears second whether it is considered or not in any Top X. It's just to say that there is too many votes in others, others should not appears in second in the poll!, there must be a country we miss!
Anyway, there is an interesting fight here:
Canada- 27 people, 5.64%
UK- 26 people, 5.43%
He he ;)
As for starting over, it is indeed too late ;)
JeffB
That's not true. The point is to go to interesting places, whether they are close or far. I'm sure we could spend most of our life visiting Europe and always finding new interesting places and things to see.Quote:

I agree there's a lot of thing on the East coast, for I have seen a few of them, but I guess there's other places that are of some interest as well. And even if Las Vegas is not the only place for gambling, it's the most famous, so Yves M can say "I've been there!" ;) The problem with USA and Canada is that if you want to see a lot of things, you have to travel very long distances, and that takes a lot of time.
Happy birthday Elrond. :)
Have to follow Simon: Happy Birthday, Elrond!!!
