Just a quick and dirty post today, don’t have much gusto or time to write lenghty stories of post a shitload about San Pedro (and me still finding no couch in Salts, grmbl)

Anyhow a few blogs to follow when you are bored or want to see more of the world.

Hendrik is momentarily in Thailand, walking. He was my host in Goslar, Germany.

Then Jade’s site about all lot and nothing.

And last for now Traveltrousers is the site of a pretty cool photographer I met in Iquique and he makes to my opinion fantastic photo’s. He’s been traveling for four years and not done yet by the looks of it.

Do you know more blogs? Post them at the comments!

People who know me know that I like complicated games which are often set in an economical setting. One of my -still- favorite games is the immensly hard Capitalism.

While browsing around a few days ago I stumbled onto the Russia based game ‘virtonomics’, which basically is Capitalism online where you can produce, sell, research virtual products to build an business empire. Of course while competing against other players from all over.

So of course I had to join in to see what it is all about. If you think games like earlier mentions Capitalism or Civilization has a slight overdose of report screens, wait until you take it online. You can spend ages clicking from report to report, but it makes it the more interesting for the near future.

Because of this and probably what will be my ultimate attempt to never attract girls again to this place, I’ll write on a regular basis ( as long as my internet connectivity lasts I guess ) about my exploits in this game.

(Note: if on basis of this report you’ll like to try play Virtonomics, please use this link to register, yes I will like you more then).

Anybody ever played Auto Assault? It might that some people drew some inspiration from pictures below

Wiki:”Humberstone and Santa Laura works contain over 200 former saltpeter works where workers from Chile, Peru and Bolivia lived in company towns and forged a distinctive communal pampinos culture. That culture is manifest in their rich language, creativity, and solidarity, and, above all, in their pioneering struggle for social justice, which had a profound impact on social history. Situated in the remote desert Pampa, one of the driest deserts on earth, thousands of pampinos lived and worked in this hostile environment, for over 60 years, from 1880, to process the largest deposit of saltpeter in the world, producing the fertilizer sodium nitrate that was to transform agricultural lands in North and South America, and in Europe, and produce great wealth for Chile.”

This is the residential part of town. The industrial complex is also coming soon!
