The United States

I crossed the Border and went to The States a couple times. Once to go to Chicago for three days on a business trip when I was 21. Then again to Detroit for a week.
Wasn't really a good time with either for separate reasons.
I was gonna take a drive down to Seattle from Vancouver before the pandemic and now I'm back in my hometown so can't do that for a long while.

Other than that I've been across the country. And it's a big damn country. I've even been to one of the Northern Territories where there's like 100, 000 people total.

You went to two AWFUL places in America, Seattle, isn't great but better then the other two.

@curiosi Yeah I realize I didn't really have the chance to experience the real parts if The States.
I'd really love to see The Grand Canyon and Disneyplace. Also Hollywood.

@zeframcochrane Grand Canyon is quite a sight. Disney is very expensive but you are paying to keep the place nice so it's really necessary that they charge so much as many workers keep it clean etc.

@curiosi They built a fucking life-size Millenium Falcon to go hang out in. I'm gonna fucking pay whatever it costs to keep it running at so many parsecs.
God if only the little 12-year-old boy me could see that.

@zeframcochrane hahah so the real parts of the USA aren't where millions of Americans actually live but they are Hollywood and Disney which are money making machines filled with tourists and fantasy?
Hmmm ok

@REMsleep I mean...yeah.
What the fuck do you expect? It's America, the largest Democratic Capitalist Machine on Earth, where would you go?
Next on the list would obviously be The White House. Which has now technically been stormed by Canadians twice if you consider the fact that The Proud Boys are actually from Montreal. Difference is that this time it's fucking embarassing considering those Canadians are misogynistic terrorists.

@zeframcochrane Those places are fun for a short while but the American people are really great and the best culture, food, music, art, historic places aren't found in the tourist areas generally is what I meant.
