If I had a Million Dollars

.... I'd still only have 460,000 pounds.  Darn exchange rate!

Seriously, though, after three-and-a-bit months here in Dundee, there's a few social conveniences in which I find the town lacking; and if I did have the aforementioned million bucks, here's what I'd invest in.

1) A Sushi place.  Seriously.  There's not a single shop that I've found in Dundee where you can get hand-rolled sushi - even the pseudo-Sushi handrolls you can get in any given place in Melbourne.  Open one here, you've got no competition whatsoever.

2) A comic book store.  Minotaur, your path is set.  Aside from the Borders down the road (which only sells trades and graphic novels) there's no strong comic-book presence in central Dundee.  I haven't read Ultimate X-Men in months!

3) a 7-11.  Or some kind of open-all-hours convenience store.  We've got a 24-hour Tesco (think Coles) down the road, but they don't have a Slurpeee machine.  Or a place where you can buy questionable, fat-laden, microwave-in-the-store foodstuffs for immediate comsumption.

With these three things, I could turn Dundee into a geek's paradise.  All I need is the money.  Any takers?
