oh yeah you know what my neighbor hood was, i was born and raised in LA in south gate i dont know if ya heard of it, its right between inglewood, and compton, onder what it was like... well besides the guns shoots and our house being robed, as well as our car 3 times lol it was cool
welcome back racer :)
-
hey... did you check out los angeles?
-
I loved Los Angeles, I want to go to University there after I finish high school in Australia.
Anyone from San Fran know about Market St??? Scary place...
Pier 39 is nice
-
But San Francisco is the second most crowded city in the US. Second only to New York. And the city, well, lets just say it isn\'t pedestrian friendly (if the news is to be believed ;)).
From the few visits I had in Oakland, definition of a ghetto. No offense (if anyone is really uptight).
-
Welcome back. What\'d you think of the Metreon?
-
WB Racer!
I would also like to go to the States sometime. Perhaps even to live and work there, but getting a Green Card can be a b*tch.
-
Glad to hear ya had fun. I love Cali, there\'s just something about the cool ocean breaze and all the palm trees that give me this really ritgeous vibe. It\'s probably why all the hippies moved there.
-
The thread says you have lots to tell us American folk...
Well you haven\'t told us anything. What did you do? What\'s wrong with Market Street? I haven\'t been there in 15 years so I couldn\'t tell you much about it.

OF course I have herd of it. Some of my cousins live their, especially Inglewood AKA
The Wood. All I see is a Fu*ked up world. Its corrupting me, its gotten me to smoke,
drink and carry a gun at the age of 15. Although the fights are fun, when you are beating
someone’s ass with your friends. I feel like moving. I was kicked out of 2 different
schools, Pinole High and Richmond high. And my dad left when i was 5. Ive been pissed off ever since my cousin was
shot and killed in Richmond Cali. The World is a Hell.....
-
America would be a nice place to visit, but I wouldn\'t wanna live there. Australia is the place for me!
-
Well, I will tell you what I did!
First I went to Sydney from Brisbane.
Then caught a direct flight to LAX.
13 hours later I caught a flight to San Francisco.
Caught a cab to the Renoir Hotel on Market ST, opposite 1 strip club and 2 brothels...
After 3 days there I went to Lake Tahoe, which was BEAUTIFUL, covered in SNOW!
Then went to Yosemite for two days.
Then to Bakersfield, boring...
After that went to Los Angeles again, Anehiem to be exact for 6 nights, Disneyland is nothing special. I also went over the bridge that was in SPEED!!! Did Hollywood and Universal Studios, and the walk of fame, la da la da...
Then went to San Deigo, from there went to Pheonix, then to Grand Canyon, then to LAS VEGAS!!!
I LOVED LAS VEGAS, I said at the Excalibur Casino, which is conected to the Luxor, the Egyptain Casino.
Excalibur was GREAT, they had medieval themed rooms etc, was excellent.
Then went back to Los Angeles for a night, went to Knotts Theme Park before catching the 8:30 flight back to Sydney.
After that, caught a flight to Brisbane...
THE END...
I AM VERY SAD, I WISH I WAS STILL THERE...
Well, there was definatly differances in America that arent in Australia, but at the same time, it was very similar...
America has better fast food outlets, and, they have free refills!!! Carls JR was home to me... so was Subway... Never going to McDonalds in America again... it is very different to Australian McDonalds, the food is far from nice...
Anyways, I had fun, it was great.
THE ONLY THING I HATED WAS THEIR MONERTRY SYSTEM. GIVE ME COLOURED AUSTRALIAN NOTES ANYDAY!!!
-
Las Vegas is awesome. My wife and I go out about once a year. Just got back a few weeks ago. Stayed in Bellagio this time. Kicked arse. I\'ve also stayed in NY NY, MGM, Circus Circus, and Hilton. Luxor is pretty cool. Some interesting sites to say the least.
You did quite a bit on your journey. Did you not delve into Tijuana when you were in San Diego?

Yeah, SF has the drawbacks of any major city: good parts and really, really BAD parts. You kind of have to check with the locals about where to stay (unless you wanted to be near a strip club and brothel...j/k) :D
I\'m from about 45 minutes south of SF in San Jose.
And why the H%LL did you go to Bakersfield??? Just passing through I hope. I can\'t stand the place myself...to boring.
One of these days I\'ll make a trip Down Under. It\'s on my to-do-list. :)
-
Welcome back Racer!!! I hope you had fun, there\'s some stuff you\'ve missed while you\'ve been gone, but you probably already got caught up on it already.
-

Im next, heading off to America for the first time in May for E3.
Cannot fcking wait, have been saving my ass off :)
-
So, what did I miss?

The internet is anonymity, which lends itself to insensitivity. Fabrication is common, but I give you both the benefit of the doubt. I won\'t attempt to "wow you" with my experiences of my "f**ked-up" life, or try to convince you of a better way; I\'m just some "old man" that\'s still alive, and here able to listen...no bs...
