TEXAS

 

I live in a city that is growing fast enough to catch central Houston's attention.

I don't actually LIVE in Houston, per say...but It's close enough that to describe where I live..I say Houston. The Woodlands is soon to be annexed by the city of Houston... So whatever. It's really developed now. Lots of recreational things to do. But just minutes away is empty land ..that is basically free for all.

 

Pros:

 

Lots of land to do recreational things such as four-wheeling, bon fires..ladiladi

But I am close to many things, my locale is conventient to all types of cities, non cities, and boonies.

 

All types of interesting people. Cowboys, rednecks (they're fun to ostrasize :laugh2: ), city dwellers...

 

Cons:

 

Persistant crime...hardly anyone likes to go to the city of Houston. It's dangerous!

Uhm, it's boring unless you plan outside things..and there is usually no time.

 

Too much suburbia ... not enough of the old time "leave your house unlocked" deal that used to be around.

Queensland, Australia

 

Pro's

- Great beaches, including the beach with the great barrier reef

- Feels like summer all year round

- Everyone is extremely friendly

 

Con's

- Water is scarce, therefore you can't use as much and a bottle of water is like 4.50

- Brisbane= emo city (there is alot of them)

- Petrol prices are real high....not worth driving a car for it

here, there is a city called Montrose..it is gay city! :cheesy:

hahahah!!!!

i hope noone gets offended, i just dont know what else to call emo people.

 

Brisbane is also metro central, where al these new age guys like to buy hair products and moisturisers and strut around in their toight jeans and buttonup collared shirts. ive heard Sydney is like that as well...though ive never been there so im not too sure

 

not that its a bad thing....some look quite sexay....

Hmmmm... im gonna talk about my city specifically, coz Brazil (and even only my state) is way too big...

 

pros

- most beautiful beaches ive ever seen

- sunny weather pretty much all year long

- has an amazing carnaval party

- you're about 15 minutes away from every place u need (airport, good restaurants, clubs, bars, malls, etc)

- has a lot of history and cool places to visit (if u r interested in that kind of stuff)

 

 

ok... cons

- violence is becoming insane...

- public transportation sucks

- people tend to judge u by who is are your parents, where you went to high school...

- there are freackin 1.something milion ppl living in this citty, but somehow, EVERY time u go out, you always end up seeing the same people...

- its kinda sad not to have cold weather...

Pros:

 

Winter 5 months a year (which I like).

People are friendly with foreigners.

We're the largest country who-hooo.

 

Cons:

 

Many tramps, drunkers and jobless people.

We're not a monarchy.

C'mon, everybody hates Russia.

 

:anxious:

Haha I find that whole list funny. Mine is pretty much the same, you covered it all.

 

I wouldn't say everyone is that friendly but then I've never bin outside the Eastern States. (NSW, Qld, Vic)

 

Except it is funny because the water restrictions occur in Qld but not NSW and I live in Tweed (just south of the border) HA! Whoever decided on the location of Hinze Dam really is an idiot.

 

And I agree with the Emo thing. Went up to Brissy a while back and I was scared, before that I don't think I'd seen more than 3 emo's in my life.

 

And about the petrol prices, they're just ridiculous, $1.39/Litre wtf?!

Croatia, especially Zagreb, where I live

 

Pros:

-preserved nature, and different climates

-cuisine is real fine

-lots of historical buildings

-people are relatively laid back

-feeling of safetyness, you pretty much don't have to worry about your possesions or being shot

 

Cons:

-envyous people

-no entrepreneurian mentality

-bad architecture of my city,because it's the biggest, that's why it matters, others are smaller so that's why it doesn't have much effect

-bureaucracy, and some laws are pretty stupid

The Netherlands....

 

Pros:

- Really free country, you can do whatever you want (drugs etc.) so I think therefore people don't get tempted as easily

- Lots of people from different cultures, and I think they all go along pretty well

- Good schools, healthcare, social securities... pretty rich country

- Monarchy.. I love it! :P

 

Cons:

- Weather.. no snow in winter, and only sunshine in the summer if we're lucky

- It's tiny... 16 million people in such a little, little country... so crowded..

- Materialism.. lately I notice it more and more often... it's probably in a lot of countries in the world but here as well.. you have to wear the right clothes, like the right popstars, go to the right places...

Sydney, Australia

 

Pros

- beaches

- nicely hot in summer

- i like the city :D

Cons

- EMOS and other assorted funnily dressed people who think they are hardcore

- lack of action sometimes (e.g. not new york :( )

- either snobby private schools or white trash dumbass schools (or in betweens which is probably my school.)

- fully sicks (lebs)

- cars everywhere...

- too much development of units/flats

Newcastle, England

 

Pros:-

 

Lotsa stuff to do, apparently a night out in Newcastle city is the "best attraction in the UK" as said in a book about attractions in the UK;

The part of Newcastle I live is very nice, views and countryside-ish in a way.

The Metro Centre.

Pollution

Too busy

Charvers (which covers basically... violence, drugs and drink abuse, etc)

Noisy place aswell.

Seeing as I live in Newcastle too for 9 months of the year, I'll give my opinion on it too:

 

Newcastle, England

 

Pros:

 

-Wonderful nightlife, a vast array of bars to go to for early drinking and then an equally good quantity/quality of nightclubs to follow (Not to mention places like Osborne road which is outside of city, but still great atmosphere)

-Compact city centre, which is great for shopping, it takes 15minst to walk from one side of the city to the other, but so many shops are within that 15mins

-Countryside is nice, lots of attractions outside city centre

-NUFC is a magical thing

-People are nice and friendly (Especially for a city) and have a great sense of humour

 

Cons:

 

-Screwed up bus system

-Chavs I guess (In comparison with Irish chavs, these chavs are really nice, Im not kidding Jack)

-City smells bad

-Unless your going out and drinking, everything is dead after 6pm

 

Yep.

Rhode Island

 

Pros:

 

-Coffee milk.

-Del's Lemonaid

-The fact that you can drive from one end of the state to the other in 45 minutes.

-Gary Ley, the gayest weatherman ever. More like Lary Gey...

-Newport

-Beaches

-Proximity to NYC and Boston

 

Cons:

-Everyone knows everyone

-Once you've been everywhere, you literally have no where else to go.

-Nothing much to see here.

-Every fucking politician is corrupt.

-Buddy Cianci, anyone?

-Our state bird is a fucking cock. That's just strange.

-No one gives a shit about Rhode Island when it comes to elections. Never interesting.

-People think that it's unnecessary to use a blinker or ANY form of turn signal. Also, red lights are not mandatory.

-If we ever got hit with a hurricane like Katrina's size, this whole state would join Atlantis.

-State workers bleeding the system, same with the unions.

-Constant roadwork that gives the stateworkers and immigrants something to do.
