    I would recommend here, NM has any excuse for a party... we celebrate Mexican and American holidays, but in a few months any place on Earth will be cooler.... including the interior of Mt Vesuvius. :) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

            Try India - it's very cheap here - though the living-conditions here might seem a little weird to you - quite different from western life. If you pick a South Indian location, you can even touch Trivandrum for a day or two and I can take you around the place :-) Nish

                Hi Colin, Have you ever been to Viet Nam? You know that an increasing number of visitors recently choose Viet Nam as their new destination, there are a lot of places where you can go, and I'd recommend you to visit the Ha Long Bay[^] and Hoi An[^] ancient town. I got a friend working at Victoria Resort in Hoi An, he is willing to help you if you need. You can also check out this link[^].

                    Minnesota. Pies, cheese curds, apples, plenty of lakes and rivers to relax along, and while the natives aren't exactly "friendly" as such, they're mostly all passive-aggressives, and so they'll appear friendly unless you spend the time to learn the language.

                            Try Pakistan if you love mountains and lakes and snow etc. Northern Areas of Pakistan are really very rich in scenic beauty. "I would luv to change the world, but they wont give me the source code" :( My Articles

                              Winter in Oz? Does it exist? Last time I was in Oz, I crossed the Tropic of Capricorn on Dec 22 and at noon, I couldn't see my shadow! :cool:

                                May I recommend Bullhead City, AZ, in August or September? Lauren and PJ found it most attractive then, respectively. I have no idea why, but I respect the opinions of our peers. Perhaps it was because there was no need to pack a sweater... they're quite bulky, you know.;) Boredom, Bull$^%&, Baggage, Bar - all start with 'B'

                                  Scotland - I know you've been already so you might want to try something new, in which case you might like Spain in early October (its cooled down from the summer heat, but still warm enough for shorts and T-shirt).

                                        Hello. Since I just came back from three weeks in NZ, I can only recommend you come to Spain. It's a pity that you will need three of your 10 days just to come and go back. ;P

                                          We had a great and very affordable holiday in Sabah, Borneo last Nov. Stayed in a great resort on the ocean with free broadband internet access.:-D Lots of interesting things to do and very genuinely friendly people. It was an easy trip from Australia. Let me know if you want more info. Off to Europe later this year.:) Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows www.getsoft.com and Surfulater www.surfulater.com "Save what you Surf"
