Excellent, I'll check them out on Amazon.com. It's funny but I've even bought books from Amazon here in Taiwan. Small world when even that stuff is just a click away, then the box shows up with Amazon.com emblazoned on the side.

You just have to pay through the nose if you don't want the slow (and sometimes unreliable) shipping. With globalization (and cell phones, and the Internet) it's getting hard to tell when you're "home" and when you're not!

Definitely making my stay in Asia this time around (as opposed to the first two-year visit 15 years ago) much more "familiar", and comfortable!

I know those shipping charges from Amazon.com are stiff here as well. I rarely order from them.

I saw Manhattan Transfer on the tube about one year ago. They sounded fabulous.
