:Hey, thanks a lot! It sucked getting the boot. I liked London a lot. So far, if I could pick a city to stay in, it would be there. You're also welcome to give me a call if you're ever gonna be in the States. After this Ecuador thing I'm planning to just be a vagrant for a while, so I'll be around some place :).
:Also, what's it like over there on the Isle of Man? I've always wondered about those remote places around the British Isles. I know that my favorite distro is Linux is based there (Ubuntu), but I don't know much else. Is Douglas big enough to have a city feel, or what?

::Maybe I should answer that ;). [[Douglas]] sort-of feels like a small-town-with-extras. It's only 30000 people but it's still the capital 'city', so we get more shops, hotels, government buildings etc than you'd expect. The offshore finance sector is massive here, so if you're looking to settle here then your only real chances for a career are in banking, trust fund management, insurance, accountancy... *yawn*. Not really a hitchhiking lifestyle :). Lots of rich people live here for tax reasons, so the cost of living goes through the roof.
::On the plus side, the scenery is breathtaking and some parts of the island are a near-total escape from civilisation, which can be hard to find in much of Europe. It's a stress-free place, very relaxed, almost no crime, people often leave their car doors unlocked because thieves have nowhere to drive them. I imagine that hitchhiking will be no problem... but I haven't tried it yet. --[[User:Tmoon|Tom]] 02:23, 17 August 2007 (CEST)
