Noted.

Yeah.... I'll (actually, all of us) need to work on this.

I'll try and locate a better map of Hong Kong. I'm not Photoshop guy,  
so if any else wants to assist with helping make nicer maps, that  
would be great. I do have "Blowing Up Hong Kong" the FENG SHUI  
sourcebook, which is a great resource on Hong Kong, and something I  
used to help place things in HK in previous stories.

Oh, and I have commissioned a map of North America that's going to  
cost me around $100.00 to have created.

Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when  
you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.
