Maybe if I was a gambler, a drinker and into sleeze i’d have enjoyed it more! the US in general is overrated in my opinion, 3 days is more than enough time to spend in Vegas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I've enjoyed two holidays in the US, in New York and San Francisco but I can't quite put my finger on it. There is no free healthcare system, no minimum wage, the pubs are shite, you have to pay a ridiculous tip to waiting staff to avoid being chased down the street because of the minimum wage no-rule, there are red-neck, Trump voting c***s everywhere, yet still it was great fun. I cannot quite put my finger on it. I enjoyed my time in the US... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's because most of them have only ever seen it on tv or perhaps a two week holiday and actually think that's what it's like. Stay there for any length of time however, and it soon becomes apparent just how fucked up a country it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York is the most overrated city in the world, San Francisco was pretty interesting, {did you ever go into the tenderloin district ?} San Diego is seen as a some sort of Utopia, it was okay, Washington DC was the biggest surprise i enjoyed that, Chicago wasnt too bad either, Vegas is Blackpool except you don't bump into some knob you used to work beside, or a darts team one of your mates used to play against, i'd take a month in Australia everytime, but now you mention it, going back just to start arguments about not tipping would be a laugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a month tour coast to coast. Some places were very overrated.

America in general is a shite hole for the reasons stated above though. I think because of the amount of American culture we get over here - music, films, documentaries, food etc. - and the fact they speak English, means that people in Britain, even if they haven't been, think they know America quite well. Two things have stuck out to me every time I've been - how foreign it feels and how poor it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found that in Hollywood as well. Thought it was going to be a really glamorous place, but easily one of the most run down places I've visited. The open use of crack that you mentioned was ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
