Splendid, it has a very Eastern aspect.

Amen to that! (as I read it on my updated browser installed in my fancy Windows machine hooked up to a high-speed cable modem.)

mum: that sounds like a whole lot of fun. With the way things are going over there though, a visit in Paris (not the cheapest city in the world) will probably be a fraction of the cost.

ArtSparker: that's precisely what I liked about this piece too. It's unlike any of his other pieces I've seen, so much so that I wasn't sure I should believe the site which attributed this work to him.

Mad: I hear you. I'm on of of the latest models of Apple laptops connected to high-speed cable internet via WiFi and I conduct 99.9% of my research and 85% of my leisure activities on the internet!
