BOSTON?

The most racist city on the East Coast?

I don't think so.

I could see him in......well I really can't see him anywhere, maybe Jacksonville/Miami/Atlanta.

I really don't know, but Boston would be that last place I would tell him to go.
There is actually a lot of people from other countries there who spend semesters abroad. From what I've heard they like it a lot.

Of course he'll want to stay away from the Southie Projects...

    Well, if you are not used to working a lot, I would not suggest you do it here. But if you do want to work 40 hours a week, go for it, but why would you want to do it over the summer? I would say to try to take a couple university courses somewhere.
    I would work in the US to pay for the whole trip obviously. It's not cheap you know.

    I don't know, for the smug college boy he wants to be, the West Coast is probably better for him, but that is a long way to travel.
    I don't have to be a smug college boy.

    He'd probably like a place such as Boston. West Coast well... I don't think he'd like the Orange County types.
    There are lots of foreign students in Boston it seems. Surprisingly enough the cheapest language courses and accomodation possibilities I have seen so far are in New York.

    Of course I'm saying all this in the assumption that Obama wins next week. I don't want to be anywhere near a country that elects another republican at this point in history.

    What's three hours when you've traveled from Europe?

    Boston would probably be right in his alley. He's a history major. The history there is amazing. In addition it has about 3 of the country's best universities. So long as he stays out of the South Boston projects he should be ok. If I were him and interested in History. Boston is where I would go.

    Well do whatever you want. If you decide you want a look at "real" America, it can be arranged. And when I say "real" America, I don't mean Burke's basement.

    Also I have heard if Obama wins you will need to perform this choreography upon entering the country. All Americans can do it.

    Exactly. But he might see some of Burke's basement as well, just for good measure.

    :D

    Where ever he decides he wants to go, he better practice those dance moves.

    These guys got in. Well almost. There was a third asian, but he refused to assimilate.

    Seven is following a perfectly rational plan. First he did reseach, found lots of information and tried to analyze it. Now he's moving on to phase two, he's going over there to see if the things he's heard are actually true.

    He'll have to visit a bunch of places to get the clear picture. If he just stays in, say, New Manhattan, he won't get the big picture.
