I assume you'll be staying with Katee Sackhoff?

 

 

And only one bathtub. Darnit...

I wish you luck, as always Saturn. LA is a fun place. Be sure to visit San Fran, too. That's my favorite place in Cali.

Oh and be sure to visit me. We can go shopping together.

I was a fan of your superblaze antics.

I was BSN-crazy back then ^^

[Reezus Christ]

Bunz, you and I need to have a talk. About some birds, and bees... and bees with stingers who wish they were birds laying eggs...

I don't know who you are, since I'm new here, but you are hilarious.

The city where all the people who quotes themselves go.

 

Don't knock my hometown.

You wanted a new account eh?

I hope everything works out smoothly for you.

People who went to the US on holiday tell me LA is ugly and I should go to NYC instead. Thoughts?

I've been to both and I don't see the appeal of either really. Go to Miami.

Some parts of LA are very nice looking. But if we're talking of LA as a whole, then yes, it is ugly. Can't comment on NYC as I've never been there but from what I've seen on tv or movies, I'd say NYC is ugly too.

I'd say go to New York, I didn't really like LA when I was there.

I grew up in LA and now live in NYC mainly because of work.

All I can tell you is that NYC is a great city if you have money. Like all major cities such as London, Paris, and Tokyo, it is quite expensive to live here.

NYC is a giant melting pot and a great dining city. You can have the best and the most authentic cuisines from all over the world without wandering too far. Also generally speaking, people in NYC are more cultured than LA.

LA is very different. It is very very big and you can't get anywhere without a car. It is just as ethnically diverse as NYC, but the people are more lay back and friendly. A tiny apartment in a good part of Manhattan like Upper East Side can easily cost tens of millions. Where as in LA, you can live very comfortably in a giant mansion for a fraction of that.

I wouldn't say I prefer one over the other. Comparing NYC and LA is like comparing apples and llamas. My advice is to visit both and decide for yourself. Personally, I love them both.

LA is a great city. I love it immensely. My hometown after all. I haven't been in a while, though I want to make a trip back out before long, and I can think of plenty of worse places to end up. 

 

There are **** parts, and there are amazing parts. Where I currently live at (present deployment aside), I hear a lot of crap about LA. People talk a lot of **** about it, but I have to say that despite some of the crap that goes on there, I'd say that's what happens when you have such a diverse region that is mega-populated in a state that has more people living in it than most countries. You're bound to get a lot more of the whack jobs there. 

 

Honestly, New York didn't impress me at all. There's a lot to the city, but that's all there is to it: city. That's alright for some people. For me, I prefer having more diversity in my regions. It's why I love Chicago, Phoenix, Seattle, San Francisco, and other cities that have a more integrated nature to it.

LA has Hollywood. What NY has? Bunch of towers and streets?! lol

[Naughty Bear]

I want to go Texas. See Americans acting like cowboys and listen to the accent. Dream destination. No joke.

You're in for a disappointment. Texas is pretty damn diverse. Outside major cities in a few parts (mainly in the north, eastern, and central parts), you're most likely to find George Bush country, but otherwise, Texas is like a lot of other large states.

 

The only homogenous big states (as far as population goes) are the ones that are altogether empty, like Alaska and Montana. There isn't anyone up there.

Broadway?

Hollywood or Broadway... hmm...

Serious?? I was told that there actually are people wearing cowboy boots and cowboy hats, rodeo machines, say yee-haw (stereotypical I know) and that amazing strong southern accent.

 

 

I like to see a hillbilly as well and look in wall-mart, sounds amazing, buying guns from a shopping centre just sounds crazy. I also never met a Hispanic or Jamaican once in my life so that would be interesting. I heard America in general is rather diverse.

 

I've only known Indians, Pakistani's, Brits, the odd American and Asians.

You have that in every state. There are dudes here in Iraq who do all that. Cowboy boots are all the rage for 'country' culture (go to the Midwest, and you'll find it everywhere). Hats are a bit more rare, but that's about the one thing every Texan has (whether you want it or not). You can find a rodeo machine in any country style bar you go into. And probably ones that have nothing to do with Country culture, just because it's fun to ride a bull when you're drunk. No one I've heard that wasn't paid to say it has ever said 'yee-haw'. As for the accent... you're not likely to find it everywhere. It's a lot more subdued than people think. It's more of the typical American accent with a tinge of Southern to it. Only in the deepest of Dixie (which straddles rural Texas) are you going to really hear that accent at all, and for all intents and purposes, its unintelligible.

 

If you're seeing all of that at once in one place, you're either at the Texas State Fair or Texas Roadhouse Grill (or possibly Longhorn Steakhouse). Otherwise, it's another stereotype. While there are people and even entire communities in Texas that fit that bill, they're more the exception than the rule. You'll find people in every state trying that, and if you go further out west, like Wyoming or Montana or Arizona, you'll find real cowboys. It's not as glamorous as it looks.

 

The only true stereotype I know of for Texas (that is confirmed) is that Lone Star is the national beer of Texas. 

 

Otherwise, I would be careful who you say those stereotypes to. Wally's World (our derogatory nickname for Walmart (lol Wall-mart?)) is a terrifying place to behold, though also quite hilarious sometimes. 

 

Guns in malls aren't as prevalent as they used to be. Granted, you can still buy as many guns as you want at a dedicated gun store. Hell, I'm anti-second amendment and I own 5 guns. 

 

They're really fun to shoot.

It's fun when you're 20-something with money looking to dine with cultured people. I thought I wanted that. Then, I started working in NYC. The city can be depressing, though some parts are nice to live like Roosevelt Island.

 

Now, the only reason for me to go to the City is the convenience of being near work. But, I'd rather live in New Jersey.
