Contest III: Where Am I?

ScriptOhio

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
I am sure nobody noticed (or cared) that I haven't posted in the last few days. I am on a vacation.
However, since a lot of you like trivia, contests, and/or guessing games, I am having another contest to guess where I was Saturday, 10 March 2007; since I'm not even sure where I am today. The first person to get it and/or get the closest to the actual place wins 1000 vDollars and greenies. You also get a gift if you guess the actual place (not just closest). Other unique, novel, funny, and/or close guesses may also get greenies. The clues are:

1. I left home on Wednesday and arrived there on Friday. There were no transportation delays.
2. The place was in the news within the last few years. You will have remembered the reason it was in the news; but you may not remember this place.
3. If you saw the spelling of this place you would probably miss-pronounce it.
4. There is a location (which I visited) very close that you would easily recognize as a filming site for a James Bond movie (if you saw the movie). i.e. The location plays a prominent role in the James Bond movie.

You can vote once a day. Winner to be announced and prizes awarded after I return (on 27 Mar 07).

Hopefully the clues are harder than the last contest where Bucky Katt guessed it 5 minutes after the clues were posted and no fair checking the internet address where the post was from.

Just to jump on the Thailand bandwagon, I'll go with Pattaya. Considered by some, "The most sinful city in the world". I realize though that Phuket is a much more likely possibility considering it is a tourist haven and quite paradaisical.

FWIW, the film The Beach was also filmed in Phuket.

Did the tsunami hit Phuket?..

Wow, checking Wikipedia, the death toll from the '04 tsunami was around 200,000.

Some friends of mine were in Phuket a year or so ago. Looks like an incredible place.

Hope you're having a great trip, Script!
