Mr. Toad: Tom, what an absolutely incredible story! Thank you for sharing that with us. Your upgrading to first class in the aero plane made me laugh, I have heard of this before from Jeff McBride, who pulls this stunt off with surprising regularity by doing a simple production of a rainbow coloured silk from his fingertips at the check-in counter. It's incredible how the granting of a wish to an airport assistant can have the knock-on effect of granting your wish for a free upgrade. :) Your story is quite an incredible one and it makes me wish that I were there to share it with you. Tora is a fine gentleman and I am convinced that he treated every guest of his with such high respect. This sounds like a convention to remember for a lifetime. 

Aged Magician: Why wasn't I born rich rather than beautiful???

Jon Snoops: Thanks Tom for that great in-depth reply. It sounds like a great festival, one I'll have to visit sometime.

Tora: Dear Tom, Thanks A lot for your kind words. Maybe you want to learn that the empty area in front of the hotel is being organized as a beach. So the next year's opening may be like a beach party. We may end up with swimming at midnight. Just a small addition. Your friend, TORA.

Admin: First of all, I'd like to thank the members and Tom for a really interesting forum of questions and answers. This has been a favourite forum of mine as I view these boards.
