A small bump because I don’t seem to be able to subscribe to this thread, and I’d hate to see it vanish. ---

I’ve emailed you too - won’t be the Sydney Opera House, but will see what else Australia can offer. ---

A couple pics from Cambridge, UK from **Caractacus Pott** , and a \*cubic buttload \* of shots from Zurich, courtesy of **Anaglyph** are now up at Photobucket. I’ll get descriptions in for the Zurich shots tonight from home. I’ve thanked \*\*Anaglyph \*\* via email, but she has gone above & beyond any of my expectations for this, and I’d just like to thank her here as well. Side note: When viewing the album, try the **grid** view (button at top right of screen) - looks a bit better, and you can see all of the titles as well. ---

[QUOTE=Caractacus Pott] I wonder if the Chili’s in Cambridge is exotic enough for the project? [chuckle] **BellRung** , I hope Stanley sees the Hachinohe bullet train station. I always liked that. Maybe a grocery trolley at the Ito-Yokado? [/QUOTE] I dunno about Chili’s, but you could always take him to Bartley’s, or some other sufficiently historical restaurant. Or just wander the Harvard or MIT campus with him. Out here, I don’t think Stanley’s going to make the 5 hour round-trip to the Hatch shinkansen station. I got him at a couple of Japanese establishments, like a koi pond and a shinto shrine (at least I’m pretty sure that’s what it was. Someone with a better grasp of kanji is going to come here and tell me it’s a Buddhist temple), but none of the local landmarks yet. Hopefully this weekend will be a good time for taking some shots. ETA: Oh. That Cambridge. Well, fine-- don’t fly across the pond to get some actually _interesting_ shots. 😛 🙂 ---

I took Stanley to the renowned (among glass collectors, at least) Blenko Glass factory in Milton, WV. Couldn’t get him too close to the action, for obvious reasons. ---

I have not forgotten about the Flat Stanley! I went to MS and thought there would be some cool opportunities but found none. So this weekend I am going to hit up Birmingham land marks! ---
