And alcohol? taxation on alcohol are like the highest. If 7$ for half a liter beer in a pub seems expensive to you, here the regular prices would move between 6$- 8$.


Geez, those are club prices!

You people may complain about the prices of food and drink in some of your places, but most of them are cheaper than my country, and since your wages are higher that's even more of a reason for me to be amused. In my country, taxation is INSANE. Most people give around half of their money to the state through direct and indirect taxation.

Well, it's all relative. If I can pay $3 per beer here, of course I'm going to consider $7 expensive.

Worry not. I have no intentions of crossing into the lower 48 until they clean up their act a bit (Amongst other things like pollution).

Well hey, I've heard tale that Minnesota is a lot like Canada, and even up north away from the Minneapolis–St. Paul area a ways they even start to sound like Canadians (as featured in the movie Fargo). Even the air in the Twin Cities is fairly clean compared to other major cities across the country.

I mean, this video, made by Canadians, looks like something people around here could've made.

Only traveled to California once as a kid with my family, I remember San Francisco being a cool place.
Oh yeah, and also:
meat

Soda as well.

Well it's not the people that I have a disliking to. It's the current state of mind that American powers currently use post 9/11. It wouldn't surprise me if there are areas in the US that resemble Canada, all things considered. I do know that there are parts of Canada that seem to resemble the US as well. I'm just glad I'm not living in those parts of Canada as I've heard the horror stories. And I also have a severe hate-on for those responsible for their abuse of authority against innocent civilians. I have some American relatives I met once at a family reunion, and I hope they're doing okay (again) all things considered.

Heh, I immediately thought of Trailer Park Boys when I read this part.  :-[

Born and raised in Los Angeles. Oh, the wonders I could show you... :rollseyes:

Seriously though, what cool places would you recommend to visit near the West coast? Should I visit Las Vegas? Does it have many attractions for those who don't intend to gamble? I heard about Heart Attack grill and have been dreaming about going there ever since.

Heart attack Grill. I remember my boss going down south for a time and telling us a story about this particular place.

That's a loaded question; I guess it depends on your interests.
I could give you generalized answers, but like, if you're interested in something (beaches or what-have-you) I could be much more specific. I tend to travel often; there's much to do here.

Las Vegas is a good distance from Los Angeles (a state over), but I've been there many times. I don't gamble, and personally consider it an overheated death trap. They have quite a few things to look at, and some minor attractions, but overall not worth the detour if you don't intend to gamble. Southern California in general has far more to offer, considering that.

Personally if I did go to California the best place to see would be the great redwood forest. Those trees are literally thousands of years old and massive in size. I think they're the biggest trees on earth. And if you're a star wars fan then you can see where the Endor scenes were shot in Return of the Jedi. And I've also heard that these trees can be traced  all the way back to the Cretaceous period.

Well, I'm strongly into history / culture sites. Really would like to see different people, and "different" kind of entertainment. you know, the America f**k-yeah stuff.

 :P

Oh, and I guess places to avoid would be nice too.

If you go to San Fran make sure to just walk around and explore without a set agenda. Get into trouble. Cruise the piers. And check out this awesome old arcade...

Think Tank!! You're back!

Michigan is a little far away from California though, isn't it?  :P
