I know it’s a huge metropolis but it felt more sprawling than I thought it would. As for Santa Monica it was crawling with down and outs, panhandlers etc, not quite the picture you see in films, of course reality is never the same as in film so I should have been prepared. I like LA but generally have a car to dart around or use the subway to get from place to place, i like finding the amazing taco places you see on foodie youtube places, love burbank too (get the feeling everyone there is some way connected to the WB studio) and Beverly Hills. The areas around the walk of fame etc are shite holes, i like anaheim though, but the drive down to San Diego, through Carlsbad etc is amazing, San Diego is my fave city in California. 7 hours ago, Sherrif John Bunnell said: I was very underwhelmed by Notre Dame.

It might get better when they have the star wars addition etc. We went a few years ago in January, was snowing and really nice, got a full board meal plan and the food was absolutely fantastic for a theme park, they get good marks for that bit at least! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UsedToGoToCentralPark Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 New York & London. Two shiteholes Never been to New York but can safely say London is one of the best, if not the best, cities on the planet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cant find things to enjoy in either of those two, then there's something seriously wrong (with you more than likely). 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the only only major city I have ever visited and thought id happily live there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty dingus Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Angkor Wat. Visited a couple of times, first time was great empty and accessible. 2nd time pure crap, many of the buildings covered in scaffolding with no access and the place was over run with tour groups. Another vote for Marrakesh too much hassle and shady at night. Worth the occasional night to get access to the rest of Morocco which is a brilliant place to visit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of your use of that word, but if you mean they are the 2 most overrated cities on the planet, you'll get no argument here 9 hours ago, HTG said: Blackpool should be removed from the map.

Blackpool has been fucked for years, used to be a weegie paradise, now its nothing but stag and hen parties. 23 hours ago, budmiester1 said: I was quite disappointed in L.A. apart from the original Mexican centre.

DiegoDiego Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Angkor Wat is over for hundred acres, are there really so many tour groups now that you can't find some solitude? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
