Poll: A question for Un-Americans.

[TotalerKrieger]

I'd probably go to Vegas mainly to visit The Gun Store and shoot some of the evil automatic firearms that the guv'ment prohibits here in Canada. Also, to piss away some money at the casinos while marveling at the glamourous stupidity of city built in a desert with no nearby source of water.

EDIT: Lake Mead actually doesn't look that far away on a map, supposedly it is drying up due to rising water consumption.

 

[RipRoaringWaterfowl]

Lower Manhattan. Probably the best answer.

I would want to go to the Comic-con so the means San-Fransisco for me. I am a Ontarian so New York would be the easiest for me however.

Comic Con is in San Diego. You'd want to visit there.

Hmm on that list the only places that remotely appeal to me are Hawaii and New York.

I have spent quite a bit of time in Hawaii already over the course of several trips when I was younger (almost exclusively on the island of Kauai) and I would love to go back. Honolulu is hideous and going to a beach where there are several thousand other people smacks of retardation to me. But, for those of you who have never been to Hawaii and think that's all there is (or have only been to Oahu) I gotta say that Maui, Kauai, and the big island are all pretty fantastic places. Kauai is interesting in that it is the oldest of the islands with some really spectacular mountains, waterfalls, cliffs, forests, and of course empty beaches.

For other places? I have been to Seattle a couple of times but the closest I have ever got to New York was the Newark airport... yeah. Well at least I could see part of the city's skyline.

That's really it for places I have been to in the States... the only other places I can claim are airports lol

Houston and San Francisco if anyone cares... yeah, I know, they don't.

Not on the list, but I would like to visit Washington DC and a lot of various not-cities in the US.


Oh, and Disneypatchofdirtwithoverlygrandiosename (either of them) can go suck a **** as far as I am concerned. Themed "amusement" parks (and I use that word with great reservation) are some of the stupidest and most baffling things in the world for me. Why would I want to pay waaaaay too much money to be surrounded by waaaay to many people so that I can wait waaaay too long to go on some ride?

Ahh my bad it is easy to see how I could mix the places up.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

San Fransisco. It's a city I've wanted to see since I've played Midtown Madness 2 as a kid. Also there is an Escapist there I really want to meet.

 

[bandman232]

Whichever one comes with a job for me. I'm unlikely to holiday in the US, since if I had the money I'd visit family in Australia instead.

Vegas would be your best bet. Either there or New York City, though NYC isn't a very nice town...

 

[bandman232]

Washington.

Its got most of the historical stuff I'd want to see located there and... its Washingtom...

Honestly... there isn't much else I'd want to see in the US. Sure I am curious about a few other things but they are too spreadout for the effort. The only other thing I'd ever go to the US for would be some form of convention. That's it really...

The Sonoma area of California is probably your best bet. Also, wine if you like wine.

Edit: Apologize for double posting, getting a little happy with advice.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

That depends.

Which State is closest to Canada?


[sub]New York, I suppose. Seems like the 'safest' choice.[/sub]

YAY! Daystar comes to my home state.

We also have Irn Bru!

[sub]Can't believe I typed that last line with a straight face[/sub]

The city has some spectacular sights, upstate (where I'm from) has plenty of green, long straight freeways with which people from Massachusetts go roughly 105 mph on every freakin' day, and we border Canada at, IMHO, the nicest view point: the Niagara Falls.

Finally, our pizzas iz da bestest. Let NO ONE tell you otherwise.

It's lovely. I mean, it smells a bit off, but most neighborhoods are pretty darn safe. Really, I don't know where people get the idea that NY is some crime hole.

Upstate NY does have some beautiful freeways. Actually, that's pretty much all it has. Freeways and stick people, no offense.

I'm basing this off of personal experience. It's not the crime, it's just everyone there in general. Complete assholes, more so than were I live. My visit to New York wasn't a nice one, and I'll just leave it at that.

They're not really assholes, there are just different social expectations. The area in general is very blunt and direct. That's when they're not pretending you don't exist, of course. It's not a place for the thinned skin.

 

[Rule Britannia]

I used to live in England but now I live in Canada and, since Canada borders the United States my family and I went to New York...It was cool but unpleasant.

I would like to go to Washington D.C. (oddly enough my class should be going there as a field trip when school starts up again)

 

[Riddle78]

Alaska. Because you can actually dress for the cold when it is cold. Even six hours south,the difference in climate is noticable. It's impossible to dress for the heat in a decent manner. I like in Etobicoke,at the moment,but I recently moved in from Petawawa,which is a small base in the armpit of nowhere six hours north of here.

 

[Furbyz]

I don't much understand vacations and traveling. Maybe I'm depressed or something. All I know is I was miserable at home and then longing for just that level of miserable when I went to Mt. Rushmore. I learned some things on that trip. South Dakota is the bleakest most soul sucking dead place I will ever go, Hastings, Nebraska, is the birthplace of Kool-aid and has a surprisingly good museum for being pretty much in the middle of nowhere, and that the Badlands are pretty much stunning.

I think I need fun lessons. I must not be doing it right.

I don't offend easily, so it's okay. But I do have to ask one question...

In regards to the "stick people" comment, how do you explain George Carlin? This I would very much like to hear.

 

[Arfonious]

Nashville Tennessee would be my first choice

But if I wasn't limited by money I would want to make a road trip from one coast too the other with some friends

He's from Manhattan?...Not really sure what you're getting at.

 

[Laser Priest]

If I went to Vegas, could I go in this?

I was under the impression that "stick people" meant bland, ordinary people - something that ol' Georgie certainly wasn't.
