honolulu, new york city, san francisco remains my top US
honolulu: look out for the break dancers with boombox; is so not a honeymooner place (as was in my mind b4 i went)
nyc: love washington sq
sf: long haired bikers in Harley down the hill
seattle is a dump; chicago is cold; honky-town-texas stares

Which American cities fit you best?
Zimmer...why is Seattle a dump? Its the emerald city...people don´t tan, they rust!
Its my home town and I am in a weird mood tonight...would like to know why you don´t like the place though.

literally walked into a dump (rubbish bin) when i got off the bus in seattle; when we took the sub to the Jap restaurant, went into a dump (same);
but "worse", when we were out one night, it was the 49ers & Lakers' match (many years ago). as we were about to enter a club, someone ran out with police on tow. heard people saying he's got a gun or something *RUN!*
had supper at one of those late night "cafe" you see on hollywood and a mob of mafia came in & sat next to us with their weapon visible *RUN!*
at the bus station, weirdo said i look like sophia lauren; (i tried to get a mirror) then a drunk/homeless couldn't stop banging on the public phone. medics came because he bled & said he's got AIDS. *RUN!*
and to think that i once chose seattle to be my retirement (after watching Sleeping in Seattle, of course!)

Stares for being a minority I presume? I was going to ask you if you've ever been to Austin but based on the above I think the question would be rhetorical.
BTW, Texas has the 4th largest Asian population of any US state. Why don't we ask TT's very own Asian Austinite?
Don't believe the Texas hype.

Seattle is a great place, not a dump at all.
You could have your kind of experience in any place. I had a shit experience in Venice (Italy), but that doesn't make it a dump.

Foul-mouthed PMs to various posters? Really? Name them all. Marshbot? One statement in a single PM hardly constitutes foul-mouthed PMs to various posters.
you should change your name to 'onanotherplanetjanet' methinks.

Sorry, don't believe the TX hype, but every bit of the Austin hype is true. Don't move there though, we are sick of you invading our city!
