Ha ha, Jonesy I was about to say Barry! :)
When I was growing up it had the highest rate of juvenile
crime in europe and is generally very "pretty".

who are you jedy?
are you from spain?
que coño?
eres de aquí o no?
si eres catalan y te niegas a decir que eres español, por
mi bien... me da igual, a mi los paises y sus gobiernos me
la sudan... cuando pregunto si eres españosl es solo por
curiosidad geografica...no por ningun tipo de orgullo
patriotista (que por otro lado no está mal si no se lleva a
los limites)

a mi eso de los gobiernos tampoco me hace mucha gracia

pienso que el patriotismo es mejor evitarlo
el orgullo/amor por el pais natal es inevitable.

I thought that was Ponty butt?!

Just kidding. Barry is such a dump. Though it does hold many
fond memories...

... of joyrides in the summer, mugging grannies on crisp
Autumn mornings, dealing drugs on a dimly lit street corner
in January. Oh the memories

I've never really been anywhere, I've never really
travelled. But I think London would be first on my list.
Maybe Paris. Probably New York.

And since I was a Roman emperor in a past life, I think Rome
would be high on my list, too. I was one of the crazy ones
that made their horse a member of the Senate and had huge
Roman orgies. Yeah.

All these exotic European places...i've only been to germany
so i can't really list much outside of the US.

LA is nice to visit, but not to live there.
Same w/ New York City (though i've thought about moving to
Brooklyn after college).

If I had the money I expect I'd retire to Paris. It's great
the way the government are prepared to spend money on art
and most of the city is very clean compared to the U.K. The
food is excellent and diverse and the weather is great in
summer.

wow lot of people loves Budapest here.

BTW, the main attraction for strangers, just ended... RIP.
It was the Cinetrip party series.
Maybe they still will do one or two events, but the budget
is empty.

Cinetrip

It is mainly a fantastic turkish bath place with all kinds
of electronic music. For example you can relax in the hot
steam bath for Mixmaster Morris mmusic. Lotta great DJ's
played there like Freqnasty, Luke Vibert. If you're on
Budapest and you have a body you are not ashamed of, check
if there is a party available. :)

OMG! Carmel! I've been there, clint eastwood is mayor! and
there's picket fences everywhere, I stayed in a lovely motel
there. people stop their cars for you to cross, they run you
over in england!

I bought about $30 of Jelly Belly beans, they are so much
cheaper in the US.

The beach was a bit crowded though. I remember, we drove up
the coast through monterrey and early in the morning we
found this shop by the side of the road and there was this
guy outside BBQ'ing steaks ofr sarnies, and this is like, 10
in the morning. they tasted very good. santa cruz was a let
down though. happy days indeed!

the northern california coast is MAGIC, although the oregon
coast is very rugged. i prefer rocky coastlines to beaches,
it's just so wild and beautiful. i need to take a drive down
highway 1 soon!!! =0)

glad you liked it ben, and jelly bellies too. pear is my
favourite flavour =)
