Dear Santa,

A semi-acoustic jazz guitar.

I’ve been a good boy.

Dear Santa,

I have been good too. No need to worry about what to get me…just look here. :smiley:

As my mother taught me;
“I want doesn’t get”
So dear Father Christmas, I would like the northern volume of the superb but very expensive 1:50,000 two-volume Taiwan map set.

Ooh, I want a map too. This one.

Australians should be rushing to buy it – it’s the only way they’ll ever see their country on top of the world. :wink:

Details please, Joesax, and a link if possible.

All I wish for on December 25th is a sunny day that I can spend hiking and swimming in the hills rather than having to go to work.

How expensive is expensive?

That is a sweet looking guitar Richard. Makes me wish I could play the guitar. Actually, I’ve been hoping Santa will bring me an electronic piano. I’ve always regretted that I didn’t take my piano lessons more seriously when I was a kid, but I figure it’s never too late to start again. Now to find one that sounds somewhat like a real piano and convince the wife that it’s a necessity.

Usually @ NT$200o in a bookstore. You can get it from the publisher for NT$1600. sunriver.com.tw/

These are some of the best maps available in Taiwan. Well worth the money.

This would be sweet. :smiley: But I’d want some Pachmayr grips to go along with it.

I’ve always wanted A Dissertation on the Nature and Character of the Chinese System of Writing in a letter to John Vaughan, Esq. To which are subjoined a vocabulary of the Cochinchinese Language by Father Joseph Morrone and a Cochinchinese and Latin Dictionary.

If not that, then:

What’s with the website? Is that just the intro? Where are the menus?

When I was working as a small arms instructor in Tucson, Arizona, I always taught my students to put 2 in the chest followed by 1 in the head.

Merry Christmas! HO! HO! HO! :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:

There used to be this guy with wild hair standing the some park in Christ Church, New Zealand ranting and raving (mostly for tourists). I believe that he made some of his handout money legitimately by selling the upside-down map. Anyone know of this chap?

He’s called The Wizard (of Christchurch). Apart from ranting a lot he produced the map of the world which shows New Zealand on top. He also had a monopoly take-off where you had to save souls for Christ. He used to do other stunts like sailing outside of NZ waters for census day in protest of something or other.
