No tour guides can lead you in that direction.
When I said I wanted to visit L.A., I didn't mean to imply that I thought it was some spectacular place that represents the beauty of America, or any such gibberish like that. Honestly, I think that city is probably about the nuttiest place anyone could imagine to live. That's what intrigues me about it. I mean, you gotta wonder what's going on in people's heads that choose to live in a place where gunplay is commonplace on the freeways. (Yeah, I'm sure that's probably overstated/exaggerated.)
Visiting NYC might fit into the same kind of mind set. If I were looking to visit either of those cities, I'd be looking for crazy and haphazard, not spectacular and amazing.

Yea, gunplay on the freeways happens but it's frequency is overstated by the press. Remember safe landing don't make the news.

I spent a month in the Republic of Georgia last summer, holy cow what a beautiful country. They drive like maniacs and whatever you do DON'T eat the cheese
but the scenery is gorgeous, the pace is slow, and the people are super friendly. And swear words in Georgian are the best. (I'd share, but they defy typing)As for souvenirs: the guilded drinking horns, as in actual horns from a big beast of burden, hollowed out and guilded, were my favorite.

You are probably thinking of Hollywood and maybe Venice. The rest of the greater LA Megalopolis is one giant urban sprawl that goes on and on. The freeway gunplay, if it happens it gets frontpage and opens the 5 o'clock news, but it's not that common it's just there are so many people that someone is bound to do something in a given day. You are more likely to get hit by lightening. Some of LA can be nice, but for the most part it's just a big sprawl where hordes of people are struggling to keep up with the outrageous cost of living in a place that is marketed as too desireable for words. There's smog, crime, superficiality, conspicious consumption, retched excess and everything else that you can possibly imagine and plenty more you can't. It's good, it's bad, it's ugly.
Oh yeah, the beach is never as nice as Baywatch.

M4P: OMG I want a guilded drinking horn! That's so cool!!
OMG! I love shoes! I can't remember if it was Seryn or who on this thread that brought up shoes, but hot damn I love shoes. I have tiny tiny feet so I will basically buy any shoe that fits me. Although I have a thing for knee-high black boots. I love tall black boots!! I also love pointy toed shoes but that's cos they make my feet look bigger (I range for 4 1/2-6 depending on manufacturer, so I'm dying for them to look a bit bigger (bell bottoms completely eat up my feet), just for the guys, the average womans foot is a size 7-9). I have this adorable pair of pink ankle boots with pointy toes. Oh how I wish I had more to wear them with. Otherwise 99% of my shoes/boots are black. Cos they go with anything!! I used to have over 200 pairs of shoes, but I threw out and sold off some when I moved up here, and the only plus to living in Wausau is a HUGE Asian population which means stores actually carry tiny tiny shoes cos those little Hmong girls have tiny tiny feet too!!
Okay i will shut up about shoes before people start to wonder if I have some sort of fetish (I don't I just love shoes, I am woman, what do you expect?).
-BEG, who is out of the hidey weekend hidey hole.
Did everyone have a nice weekend?

No fair! I have size 10s and all the shoes that are so cute on the rack are monstrous on me! And pointy shoes are like 2 feet long! (funny you use the phrase though - I've been playing with a fanfic that makes good use of a pointy shoe
)hmm, maybe this shoe discussion will serve as a non-nice boy detector. Or will nice boys flee from it as well?

I won't flee.....
However, I currently own a whopping total of 3 pairs of shoes.
Pair #1: White tennis shoes. For everyday wear. $7.
Pair #2: Hiking boots - for those dressy kinda days. $8.
Pair #3: Leather medieval bootses. For the ren faires. $?? over a C-note, but I got them for my birthday, so I can't be sure.
As for the weekend.... I spent most of it scooping vomit out of the rug. (My nephew had a nasty stomach virus. Poor kid.)

Hmm, gunplay on freeways, I'm kinda glad that I live in Britian now...
As for shoes, I have steel toe cap boots that I don't wear anymore (£~40), Work shoes that have almost fallen apart (£35), and some Converse All Stars that I wear most of the time and actually have fallen apart (£35).
$8? I thought £25 was cheap for shoes, rip-off Britian man
