- I've yet to have a look at Singapore. In actual life the most I've been there was been Changi Airport, but it looks potentially interesting.
- @Laura and @skribe, I'm sorry that's been your experience in Twinity so far. Our community is smaller, but growing, and admittedly, we haven't done much that would work on Australia...

I don't know if this is due to the connection from Australia to the US, or the LL servers themselves. The connection to the US seems to be okay when I test it using www.speedtest.net. Using the new Virgin G3 network, they give me a download speed of about 700 kbs. The latency is about .729 seconds, but that does not explain why it takes forever for inventory to come up.
