    Every city i went in the west coast was a shithole..

    San Diego maybe the only one that was less of a shithole, quite clean and chilled..

    Done a wrong turn going to San Francisco and ended up in the biggest shithole I've ever been, some ghetto in Oakland. San Francisco by the harbour was dull as * and when we were there people were saying its a bit of a ghost town after 9 o'clock..

    Vegas an absolute dump off the strip. LA an utter shithole pretty much everywhere just outside Hollywood. Miles of trailer park ghettos you can see off the motorway..

    Hate the place..

    Sao Paolo is good fun…

    They shut the main Paulista Avenue to vehicles on a Sunday… miles of it…. and all the local nutters come out dressed up and cycling and skateboarding - it’s usually lined with bands all playing homemade instruments and food stalls everywhere. You can buy beers in the street and wander about having a drink as you go - something you can’t do in many places now.

    Obvious one but has to be New York but don't act like a * tourist. See times Square once then avoid it like the plague. Don't buy those hop off hop on tours just an all week subway pass and get off and on random stations and see * others don't. Obviously use common sense when doing this.



    Other place i love is New Orleans. Just such a lovely place to visit and though a city it's different from so many other places you would go in America

    It may be a shithole but it’s better than the rest of the cesspit that is London

    Would recommend Finnegan’s if we’re playing when your away. Was a good wee boozer.

    Was in Scholars Lounge one night which was decent craic but was more of a club vibe rather than Irish pub.

    Other than that, a lot of good cultural stuff to do in Rome. Cracking city.

    Vitoria in Brasil is class, has that typical feel of that long beach with the city just beside you'd expect in South America but really chilled out, soon as work finishes the streets come alive.

    Rio is Rio, batshit mental.

    Massive flight anxiety.

    So bad that I track flights that my family and friends are on to make sure they get where they're going :56:

    Bit of a trek but Melbourne is the best city I've been to. Lived there for 6 months. Has everything and there is always something going on.

    Changed my mind to Aviemore, it has the Coolest Aldi on the Planet, Some Good Friendly bars. A stones Through from Stunning Walks And Wildlife. The Mountains always in full view and amazing atmosphere and No MacDonalds :84:
