k50dude: Thanks for your comment and fidelity! I think that the building you're saying it is the one I call Hong Kong Condominiums. it is on the STEX but I can't remember its name. Try searching for "Hong Kong" and it will appear.

Simsamerica (Will): Thanks for your comment! You will find lots of inspirational CJ's around here...

This is an special entry. I want to show all what Alarconia has to offer for the next Summer Simlympics. I haven't registered yet at Simsports, because I'm not sure I have a decent city to do a bid for the Simlympics so first I would appreciate some feedback. About what to do with that piece of island that lacked, I've made a hiatus on its development but the Simlympic zone has been discarted now because I've had a better idea. You'll see.

Alarconia 2009 Summer Simlympics

"Tiny nation, huge spirit"

Yes, I've made the logo by myself... I have a very little experience at photo edition, so this is the best I can do with the tools and skills I have. It's in jpeg format to make it faster to load the pic, but I've got the bmp version too...

It is based on Alarconia's flag, the one you can see in the entry "Alarconia Data from CIA World Factbook" but I've painted the bars as they were skyscrapers and the blue strip as the sea...

 I never thought you would take my idea into consideration! Exceptional Simlympic park! It is a shame that the next bidding window isn't forever!

Oh and when you said if your city isn't good enough, you must be INSANE! Of course it's good enough!

 Could you please give me the link to where you got the main Simlympic venues from simlympic island and the American Baseball Stadium? 

I only ask because they looked so good. Great Job :)
