i love cities too. i love New York and London, i Love Las Vegas too, I also love beaches and beach resorts, but my heart is in the mountains!
Re: Where are you going tonight?
Good point. It is not you have to like one OR the other. I much prefer the countryside and hills but spend most of my time in cities.General Mannerheim wrote:i love cities too. i love New York and London, i Love Las Vegas too, I also love beaches and beach resorts, but my heart is in the mountains!

I hope you are having a good time Kinty in the concrete jungle.

Just for you, Malc, here's a pic I took in Times Square.

Re: Where are you going tonight?
Last time I went to NY (admittedly a decade ago now) it looked like one long unfinished series of roadworks and construction sites. Some things never change, eh?Worthy4England wrote:Oh look - roadworks and concrete.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

You can never have enough glass & concrete to make your life complete.

I like that it's captured the moment a pod of charcoal sticks on their annual migration from the Arctic have just surfaced.Bruce Rioja wrote:Well here's some mucky water and glass to go with it. The Lower Manhattan skyline, just for MalcWorthy4England wrote:Oh look - roadworks and concrete.

Re: Where are you going tonight?
I'm definitely more of a city and culture fiend than a sit-back and beach bum. Chicago blew me away last year and Tokyo before that was incredible (if a little overwhelming at times - a day out to Mt Fuji on the last day soothed my soul somewhat).
Looking at Vancouver and Seattle for the next jaunt! No idea when though.

I think that is as close as I would want to get, Bruce. Everyone I know who has been to NY has loved it and would go back in a heartbeat but it would not be something I'd 'enjoy'.Bruce Rioja wrote:Well here's some mucky water and glass to go with it.

I'm sure I suffer from some phobia when I'm in big cities. Almost like a claustrophobia sensation with all the tall buildings and throngs of people as though I'm being suffocated. I have to go down to London a few times a year to our offices near London Bridge. I can never relax until I am on the train back home.

For what it's worth: La Esquina is an external "corner" in English, like El Rincon is an internal one, ie,one is round the corner, the other in the cornerGeneral Mannerheim wrote:You been La Esquina yet!?
Just thought I'd mention it....

Went to Little Shop of Horrors tonight at The Exchange tonight.
Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. I think theres only a couple of weeks left, but if you're thinking of something to do, you won't go far wrong seeing it.
