Just in case there's anything that requires my response, I am currently in hospital and have been since Saturday. It's not serious, but it's difficult for me to get reliable internet access.

It has been clear that I have been making noob-ish fatal mistakes, and these results in a big shitstorm. I see now why I have lost the trust here. Therefore, I shall be in exile from here to chill down, up to at least the RL F1 Austrian or British Grand Prix.

I've been away all of this weekend just gone, and will be out from tomorrow (Tuesday) until the following Monday at the British GP.

I know that there are a couple of series that are requesting liveries at this time, and normally I like to give mine a go myself, so if possible I'd appreciate it if those series organisers can hold on until early next week to allow me to submit my team's liveries. If this isn't okay, just let me know and I can post a quick description for someone else to knock up.

While my mind is on the subject - I will not be around much on Thursday/Friday this week as I will be at the Formula E test days then from Monday 7th July to Friday 29th August inclusive, I shall be on my final uni placement in the hometown of Johnny Herbert! (Which I shall be visiting on Wednesday morning).

I will conveniently be away for the next week and the week of August 10th, right in the middle of the summer break. Limited contact with the forum is in order, but I'll be checking in on occasion.

I went for some awesome whitewater paddling and slalom racing at Madawaska Kanu Centre and Minden Wildwater Preserve, and managed to see the Toronto skyline on the way back. So basically, I was in the middle of nowhere. I did one nice loop around Lake Ontario. I was supposed to go to Niagra Falls on the way back, but I had a place to be where it was going to be a nightmare unloading my stuff at midnight if I went (I stayed at a friend's house in Rochester). I will say this, I wish I didn't come back to America. Let's face it, America sucks! :P

Really? The are far better places to go than that overcrowded relic of an amusement park. I think Legoland is better, and there are many other places worthy of being called "The Happiest Place on Earth". There are better ways to spend hundreds of dollars as well.

"The happiest place on Earth" is Bhutan. At least, that's what their government says. Altough i dont think a holiday in Bhutan is really recommended, unless you're seeking spiritual enlightment.

The North Korean Goverment would probably, call their country "The happiest country on Earth". I don't think a holiday North Korea is really recommended, unless you have low expectations of a holiday.

Well, there's a company called Koryo Tours who organise trips to North Korea. If you go, you get a guide who takes you through cities, landscapes and everyday life there. Apparently, the place isn't as seclusive as is common belief; of course, the shadow of propaganda looms large over the country, but the people there are just normal people. Some guy who went did an AMA on Reddit some time ago, and he said it was a true once-in-a-lifetime experience...and not because of the firing squads either.

Further addition: Even after I figured out the mobile internet access, I will be less active because my parents wouldn't allow me to bring the laptop to home country. :evil: (The old one, as I mentioned in the Warped thread, is still dead; I have a new-ish laptop, that the family uses, that's the laptop I'm talking about).
