I live in a three-bedroom palace. My roommate's taking the smaller suite while I've got the master suite. (I'm expecting company for the weekend, you see. ;)) I even get a balcony across from EPCOT and Magic Kingdom--free admission for the nightly fireworks shows!
It's a late spring break but it's a good spring break. Anybody else have any good spring break stories? Any exotic locales or fun trips?

I've taken two train trips to California to see my uncle. I probably should go see more of the country, since there were some very cool areas in the western part. On these trips, there have been a few drug busts, and some other interesting things, although I wasn't really paying attention so didn't notice them until my mom said something.
On one trip I learned about "Flovia". Two of my uncle's friends would go around to places pretending to be from other countries and not speak english well, to see what would happen. One of the times they made up a country, since if they used a real country they might run into someone actually from the country, so couldn't fool around anymore. At the restaurant they pretend to be from "Flovai" with one pretending not to know english, and the other translating. The way the told it, after the waiter hears the "foreign language":
Waiter: where are you guys from?
#1: we're from Flovia
Waiter: where's that?
It's in eastern europe.
Later, after ordering toast:
Waiter: Would you like honey or jam on the toast?
person 1 to person 2: heh no Duchen?
person 2: heh
person 1 ("translating"): jam, please
waiter: How did you say jam?
person 1: "heh"
Waiter: Interesting.
The two people didn't go to the restaurant again so they wouldn't run into the waiter who learned "flovian".
