Actually, you're wrong on this one. I had a medical problem while in Korea in August and was hospitalized for a stretch. While coming back through Seatac airport in Seattle, I set off the radiation alarms (I'd had a scintillation scan). There has been a 180 degree shift in Customs Agents' behaviour. They couldn't have been nicer. "Just a formality, nothing to worry about." I was scanned for isotope number, provided some documentation from the hospital, and that was it. Later on, I thought I'd left one of my medical CD's during the process and phoned them back. They did an immediate search, talked to the guy who talked to me, and called me back almost right way. "We're here to help." How about THAT? CD

OK Rio has a huge # of murders.. but I thought the same.. I'd be much more inclined to try Rio... Actually on vacation return I purposely avoided returning via Detroit/Windsor despite the protestation of my GPS... on both faster and shorter.. so not at all inclined to try Chicago.. For Coconut... keep it broad.. IMO.. remember the spawn of globalisation (LOL) will be likely more specialized and less able to adapt with replacement.. (IMVHO) ... I heard much though in 07 about how competitive school was and the top schools .. impossibly hard.. I do not think China intends to mimic its way to the top :O) TBS
