brings up a very good question and i would love to hear your take on it, if you have 2-3 weeks to show someone america in al of its colors, shapes, and nuances, what would your trip plan look like?

Just off the top of my head...

I would do a road trip that highlights the natural beauty of the US. Start in the Appalachians driving south to Savanna, then across the Gulf coast to Houston. Hit the southwest, then go north through nevada, wyoming, colorado, idaho. End it with washington state tour of dead volcanoes.

You must've felt like you hit the jackpot when you saw the chain of stores in Bangalore.

I tried to avoid them as best I could. Why the #^$% would I fly all the way to Bangalore to go to a chain store?

But, alas, there are places like Ocean City, MD, where they think all the American tourists want to go to the beach just so they can enjoy the same Pizza Hut they have back home.

That is a great question. Scenery? Culture? People?

Some highlights not mentioned have to include the Great Salt Flats in western Utah, Crater Lake in Oregon, the high plateau of western Nebraska or northern Arizona. Then the social freak shows of places like New Orleans, East Baltimore, and then NYC thrown in.

no cities?

Yeah cities. But briefly. Richmond, Raleigh, Columbia, Atlanta, Mobile, Biloxi, Jackson, New Orleans, Houston, Santa Fe, Phoenix, Carson City, Denver, Cheyenne, Coure de Lane, Spokane, Olympia. Just a taste. You could spend 2 weeks in a single city alone, but the US is not a single city. If you're talking about showing America in all it's colors, shapes, and nuances, then that's the closest you're going to get. Major cities are overwhelming and should be explored as a singular event.

east baltimore

John Waters ftw.

 

[Enron]

That is true. East B-More is "what the fucks"ville.

Is Baltimore anything like it's depicted in The Wire?

Yes.

 

[Sheik Yerbouti]

Yes.

In that case, I'm never going there.

But as you can even see a little bit from the show, there are bad neighborhoods and there are ridiculously fancy ones. Hard to have a compelling crime drama set in the funky Bohemian part of town or the large estates and rolling hills of horse farms and lacrosse players in prep schools.

Not all of India is dead bodies floating in rivers, after all.

The crazy thing about Baltimore City is that you can be in a really nice inner city neighborhood and then turn the corner and be in ohshitsville.

Do you call the place I've been to your "ex-bachelor pad"?

 

[swag]

That's pretty funny, actually.

 

[Firestarter]

I've been there too right Asifiñho?

 

[icemaη]

yup, yup!

I just noticed, there's tweet, Like and +1 buttons on the site. Hmmm...

 

[swag]

So both Aush and I have done unspeakable things on your couch at different times, Asif?

 

[Fr3sh]

Got a HUGE midterm in an hour and half. Wish me luck
