Some things that came to mind when I read your entry: People don’t seem to grasp that “just like an…” is not the same as the real thing, and it’s false to advertise it as if it is. I’ve had many a people get angry with me when I make an appointment to see something, and they show me something else. Uh no, that’s not what I wanted.

I used to have a telekarta with the metro map on it and used that, however it’s outdated since they’ve added stations. Those map books sometimes have them; I have one and that’s what I use. And yes, local maps sold at periptera are very outdated!

Also, I agree with you about Starcraps. I call them the Evil Empire, and everyone laughs at me for that. But just think, there’s so many of them, all they have to do is put something in the coffee and woo-lah, control.

I just know you’re going to find “the one” and hopefully a helmet with it. My body has weird quicks that have me trying on tons of stuff, leaving the store with something close and bringing it to a tailor (outside of GR) to alter it. Can’t do that with a helmet obviously, so your quest continues.
