  1. The 100 people link just pulls up something in another language… should I be clicking somewhere or waiting or something?

  2. Loved the Taxis!

    Great job Andrea, but come on back Miss C!

  3. Yesterday just was not the same without my Cup of Links to start my day, Thanks Andrea for picking them up. Good stuff!

  4. Kelly J: There should be links for “Korean” (on the left) and “English” (on the right). Clicking on either one will bring up the village itself in a separate window.

  5. Thanks Andrea! The site I got earlier was different so maybe it was a glitch. What a cool site!

  6. I’m getting the Korean page only. I don’t see any links that even resemble English. Bummer.

  7. I’m only getting the village link in Korean as well. Double bummer.

  9. Oh god, who else has the theme song from Crispy Critters commercials in their brain now? And all those little kids who couldn’t pronounce “indubitably”? ARGH!

  10. Oh no! I see what you all mean; I just received the Korean error page instead. I’m not sure what it says, but I’m guessing the site may have received more hits than it can handle from various sources. Hopefully it will be back up soon, but I apologize for the frustration!

  11. Thanks, Andrea. I will be back up here tomorrow.
