Buy a yacht and head off to the Pacific Islands. Always been fascinated by that area of the world.

Find life on another planet. Might have to "borrow" the Virgin Galactic shuttle first though.

Edit: Should say outside of Earth & Mars, as we've already found life on Mars. Fossilized & dead for a million years, granted, but life none the less.

spend a few years doing nothing but traveling around, meeting new people, experiencing new things, tasting new foods with no responcibility to home or the real world.

Buy a little apartment in La Boca, Buenos Aires, become a Tango ninja, and eat lots of alfajores and chorizo. Once I got bored, I'd probably do a bicycle trip trough the west coast of South America up to Panama and then cross the channel on an inflatable boat. Upon arrival in the Atlantic side I'd go to Cuba and smoke a Churchill with Fidel now that he retired, and ask him about the many murder attempts he suffered and if Che was really the nice guy everyone claim him to be. Once in Cuba I'd have to learn to dance salsa the right way...I'd finish my days with a half smoked cigar in my mouth and a mulata with a bulbous azz by my side, and that would be it I suppose.

Ahh the simple pleasures in life. Though I doubt Fidel is in any medical shape to be chatting about assassination attempts.

I would burn the one who created computer immediately, cause someone always attacks my computer and threatens me that if I cannot meet and talk and sex with him, he will attack my computer forever and for this reason, I wanna take gun to shoot him for the stupid computers he created in 1940 +? ~~~~~~~

I would settle in Tahiti with the mrs - daily swimming in the sea with sea-turtles, fishing. Occasional trips to the US or NZ for shopping, and just relax, be merry!

Oh and of course have the money to support all of it hehe.

I would go back in time and make Canada buy the Turks and Caicos when they offered themselves up to us, so I could go to a tropical paradise without need of a visa or passport or any of that rot.

Other things I'd like to do too, but they're probably too mean to post. Evil or Very Mad

I suppose you already hang out in Shanghai... does that make you a native New Yorker?

I split my time NOW between New York and Shanghai.

Maybe In would learn to write in Chinese. Maybe not.
