elmat- most interesting .... you are a student of the human condition. so, if you look to those on the sidelines rather than those on the catwalk, you come away with an entirely different perspective than what your first impression is and generally, a more accurate one, eh? a few more of these cuba libre and my perspective could change even more! :) But I used to walk or drive around and look: The buildings were not lit at night. During the day -in the Springs where I lived-I could walk and see that the windows were card boarded to block the sun light. No one was living in those villas and there was a lot of them. like the article stated - the place is sort of a "safe haven" ... a place to go just in case. the same as vancouver was years ago for people from hong kong. they bought houses here - just in case. we'd get along great elmat. when i am having a drink, i am much better conversation with men than with women. <vbg> having spent time there, is it a place where you would like to live (notwithstanding the beautiful women <s>)? I was in the bars -couple of times- and a young lady (about 29) is pressing a young man early 30's about a bad decision...) She says: "Why dont you do this" "Why did you accept that?" and so it goes... LOL - its the same the whole world over - you can't escape it ..... . . . . nagging. -rose
