Believe me... you're not. In 1992, I was in England, having that same "please tell me what I'm missing" feeling. Only at that time, there was no CNN where I was staying, and the internet consisted of plain text USENET news groups. When I finally made it home, I realized that the hot new thing that I had missed was "Ren and Stimpy"... a cartoon mostly about boogers. What a disappointment. I did not make that same mistake in Singapore in 2001. Forget what's going on here... you're drinking life from the fountain, and we want to hear all about it when you return... or maybe sooner, if you continue to post here.
