Landing on a sloping runway with different wind velocities

I just feel more comfortable landing uphill. Perhaps its because
on approach you have a bigger target to hit!
One of the problems with landing downhill is that as you are flaring, the
ground is also dropping out from underneath you and as such, your flare ends
up taking longer... I remember once landing on a downhill runway and it
seemed to take so long to touch down after I flared that I was starting to
wonder if I would *ever* land... Landing at an unfamiliar airport at night
with a downhill runway is also an interesting experience the first time it
happens to you...
