I couldn't agree more. <br /><br />I used to travel to the 'asian' side of town simply for the great deals I could get on designer handbags and watches and silk plants - LOLOL<br /><br />FYI - my 12 year old thinks it is soooo cool that I know a writer who lives in India. Especially since Scholastic Books hosts a book fair at his school twice a year !!<br /><br />I think you can rest on your laurels now, Icy.
