I am grateful that Pennie was too worried about me to take a picture, so I'll never know how red I went, but it felt pretty bloody warm in there! I was crying...Axver said:You haven't seen me sunburnt then!
And ... cactus?! The spiky nasty desert plants?

Yes... take the spikes off, cook the leaf bits, and eat the fruit... tasssssty. Fruit tastes like a cross between honeydew melon and cucumber... only irritating thing is all those big black seeds.
I'm probably the other way round... I keep getting caught out when I go to my parents' place and can't go to the supermarket at 10pm.Axver said:I'm still amazed by that. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised, but I am. I lived in Queensland with its "everything's shut by midnight!" mentality for too long.

You could take the train.

I'll be sure to take loads of pics for you, Ax! I actually love Amtrak trains. It is my preferred mode of transportation.

:jealous: :jealous:
That's one thing I didn't get to do in the US - ride an Amtrak service. The only Amtrak train through TN runs through the very far west, via Memphis. Nothing through Nashville.

ah really? they're super fun! haha and i see some interesting people on there. some talkative, some not. while living in the dc area it was how i commuted to nyc.
Axver said:
I rode the subway in Boston and a preserved train near Chattanooga, but that was it. I hear the northeast corridor between Boston, NYC, and DC is rather impressive as far as US railways go. Probably outdoes anything here.
unico said:
oh i love the ride between dc and nyc! esp when you get down to my area and you see the potomac river. gorgeous!

Sydney?
Sydney's a hole. Melbourne's where it's at.
Keep that up, and you'll have a shiny new essay!Axver said:Wow, I just did some work.

What's wrong with you????
phanan said:
So what makes Sydney a hole, out of curiousity?
phanan said:On a side note, it must suck to live in Perth. Here's a city with over a million people, and it seems that when international acts come over to play shows in Australia, they almost always bypass it because it's nowhere near the other major cities.
Axver said:
I understand Perth is the most isolated city of its size in the world. Possibly the most isolated city full stop. New Zealand's cities are closer to Australia's eastern cities than Perth is!
I'd really like to visit it, though. It looks beautiful. My father's in love with the place.
Really old rocks...phanan said:Hello
It looks like a beautiful city and everything, but man, there's nothing else around it.
phanan said:
Yeah, I'm reading a bit about the city and looking at pictures, and it looks gorgeous out there. I'm surprised there isn't at least one other major city on that side of the country.
