Just found out that the neighbour of my dreamland I own is not protected by the "law of protection of culture land". Mine is. So it means I have a good soil but not him, but most of all is he can build on, which I can't.

I thought I would have time to read everyone's LJ before leaving but nay, so hope everyone is getting laid or at least drunk.
