    This is absolutely brilliant! Christophe, you rock! I’ve never really seen anything so detailed and fun, although the dead body in the river was…nevermind I loved that, too. 8) Airport coming soon? Awesome.

    Wow.
    Creepy voice, but cool place. Nice that it even has its own dead naked crime victim in the river.
