Greetings from Makassar!

5,000 rupiah to the first person who can identify where in the world that is, exactly.

If I am right, I think I am rich rich rich man (or perhaps a very poor man).

Clearly, somewhere in Indonesia - I'm going to say that it's fifteen klicks (you're in country now, get used to it) outside of Ihmnutshure and 45 klicks north of Khanphucion.

But, I digress. I have but one demand for your time over there. You must try the Indonesian Fried Rice ( or, just Fried Rice ) - I must know if it's like what we get here when ordering the dish of the same name.

Wow, a whole 55 cents? That donkey ride into town must have addled your brain (or cost more than you expected)

sorry about that. let me just say they BOTH do ;)

Okay, no fair. Alex and Nate beat me to the punch (darn it, MapQuest!).

Seriously, David... I'll bet you're having a great time in Makassar. It sounds like one of those places from an "Indian Jones" or "The Mummy" movie. :-)

Hmm.. perhaps we need a tie breaker?

I am in Narita airport as I type this, who knows where that one is?
Monday, May 24, 2004 8:24:54 PM (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)
Tokyo, of course. Be glad you didn't come back thru CdG in Paris!

:)

Yes, I agree with Kearns Sr. However, since I don't think he was one of the people that needed the tie breaker, that means I win. But even if I don't win, I'd like to comment on your choice of airports. Narita. NARita. I wonder who Kearns missed the most on his trip. ;)

I guess I agree with Nate, however, I must point out one flaw in his response. He didn't specify where, and since I am in teh tie to be broken, I must say two things.

1. Kearns is in Tokyo
2. I win.
Tuesday, May 25, 2004 11:54:42 AM (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)
And of course Nate was agreeing that Kearns should be glad he wasn't in CdG due to the colapse of the terminal.

Well, if we're being picky, then Santa is wrong when he says (time-stamped 5/25/2005 12:53:50) "1.Kearns is in Tokyo". At that time, he wasn't. Your entry doesn't count.

However, at 5/24/2004 9:24:54 PM (Eastern Daylight Time, UTC-04:00), Kearns was in Tokyo.

1.) I win
Nate
Tuesday, May 25, 2004 11:58:20 AM (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)
Wrong. I win.

Looks like we'll have to have a caged death match to settle this one...

Or maybe a battle of the bands...

Or a regatta...
Tuesday, May 25, 2004 9:07:09 PM (Eastern Standard Time, UTC-05:00)
I'm up for battle of the bands, I will be bringing U2, who will you be bringing Nate?

The mighty SPORK!
Nate

I think it is rather clear that Nate was the first, and therefore the official winner is Nate. Award to presented at a later date...
