Are you at Kings Cross?

Colloquially known as The Cross, the area is known as Sydney's red-light district. Once home to musical halls and grand theatres, it was rapidly transformed after World War II by the influx of troops returning and visiting from the nearby Garden Island naval base. Today, it is still dominated by bars, restaurants, nightclubs, strip clubs and adult bookstores.

yes, i am in kings cross...

actually, i was there twice, in may of '68 and november of '68...

good times...

yugo, nick...

Ok Nick, are you on Bouvet Island?

Tul, that's such a good place for this game that I'm tempted to be there and let you come up with another equally good one. I thought earlier someone went to the most remote island in the world, but either I'm wrong and not remembering correctly or that previous claim is wrong or at least suspect, since my current search led me to find that reliable sources say:
"Bouvet Island (Norwegian: Bouvetøya) is an uninhabited Antarctic volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean, 2525 km south-southwest of South Africa. It is a dependent territory (Norwegian: biland) of Norway and is not subject to the Antarctic Treaty. It is the most remote island in the world. There are several very small islands near it (including Lars Island to the southwest), forming altogether an island group."


But since I'm not one to concede a loss unless it's blatantly obvious, I'll say I'm not on Bouvet Island. In fact, I'm in the middle of planning my next destination and don't know where that is yet.

I'll post back later tonight with a heads up that I've arrived, so no need for "are we there yet?" whinning.

Ok....
