But I must say, I do love New York City....

I am so homesick right now.



"New York on Sunday,
Big City taking a nap!
Slow down, it's Sunday!
Life's a ball, let it fall in your lap!
If you've got troubles,
Just take them out for a walk.
They'll burst like bubbles
In the fun of a Sunday In New York!
You can spend time without spending a dime,
Watching people watch people pass!
Later you pause, and in one of those stores
There's that face next to yours in the glass!
Two hearts stop beating,
You're both too breathless to speak!
Love smiles her greeting,
Then the dream that has seen you thru the week
Comes true on Sunday In New York!"

I enjoy Christchurch, NZ quite a bit. Great cafés, generally good weather. It's close to nice beaches and my super cute nephew lives there.

San Francisco: The people in the city are so nice and the flavor is so unique and rich. I love the way that the city has evolved over the years. It has everything that I enjoy in a big city.

Ubud, Bali: One of the most beautiful little villages I've ever visited. It's a thriving small villages with some of the most inspiring crafts and artwork I have ever seen. The food isn't too bad either!

NYC: a small town girl's dream of a big town. Bright lights, teeny Times Square (I saw it when I was still ripe with adult entertainment), and delicious bagels. Mmmmmm

Las Vegas: where my heart is and where there is action 24/7. Also, the standard of beauty is very skewed there. One of my favorite things to do there is people watch. Sad thing.... whenever I visit Vegas and come back home, everything is dark and quiet again.

I love Las Vegas. The lights, the constant action, the bars I can dance on... I can only take it a few days at a time or I get sensory overload. One of the most peaceful things I've experienced there was watching the sun rise over the Strip infront of the NY NY. I can't stand the way the strip looks during the day, it just looks so scuzzy to me. But watching the sun rise was beautiful.

Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Beautiful sleepy fishermans town. I went there every summer as a kid, never appriciated the beauty of it until my last trip (at 19). This sleepy little town where hardly anything is open on a Sunday and few things are open past 7pm every other night. People know their neighbors and people still help each other out.

I know the Grand Canyon isn't a city but damn I loved it there. And the little 1 horse town that was your last stop of populated civilization. They had a dummy in a police car to deter speeders and stop light runners. I wonder how many residents still fall for it.

Drudging up an old thread, because I can

Vancouver, BC. It's the one city I would have no qualms about moving to. The scenery is amazing with the ocean water right next to the snow capped mountains. The people are SO NICE! It's very gay friendly. YVR is one of my favorite airports in the world. And the Olympics will be there in 4.5 years!
