The Empire State 2.2
(aka: previously on lost)Here we are.
My long stay in The Empire State (and neighboring states) is on its way: the next week end I'll go to The Queens for the Chinese New Year Parade and after that I'm going to take a week off so this will be one of the last upgrades of The Empire State 2.
So its time for summarize and for draft a ranking of the cities I visited.
All four are of course American cities (huge and spread out urban areas, built for cars and without a city center) so they are very different from the cities in Europe; anyway: New York City is obviously the best. There are so many things to do and to see that you feel nearly to be in a real city. Its problem is that it's a (too) well known place, especially from movies, so when you see something interesting you live a sort of deja vu that makes you not to be able to appreciate it completely. But still...
Boston is also a nice place especially because it is the only (big) city in the US built before the car era. That means that the street and the districts are human and you can walk through the old city and see some other people around you (instead of yellow cabs). Cons: a huge Little Italy and a typical (New) English weather.
On the contrary the other two cities (Washington and Philadelphia) are a bit boring. Actually if you like federal buildings and war memorials (Washington) or "old" houses (200 years) and items from the US independence (Philly) they are full of those.
If you don't, then they have not so many thing to offer...
Anyway in Washington you can visit a Space Museum with the residues of the Soviet Union while in Philadelphia you can enjoy the Cheese-steak!!
In general also here it is true that the souther you go the better you eat (as everywhere).
I have still to prove that the souther you go the bidetter you find
see you

of course "the bidetter" means "more bidet"...
or bidets..
what the hell is the plural of bidet?
bidette?
bidette would be the feminine, bidets the plural....
Anyway, nice pictures!! Did you see that in Sal Lake City and Philadelphia, mainly at the same time, two "normal" citizen on the U.S.A. had shot around, one in a shopping center and the other in his office and had kill 10 people, that may easily become 15 because of the serious wounded?? I mean, I agree that as long as americans kill each other it is something useful for the human society, but still, they can be fucking dangerous!!
By the ways, some news: I have added the feed with the preview of the comic "PhD", always funny if you feel involved. And there's also the new Poll. So the previous one showed that most of you blame for the problems of Italy the Church and the Italians. I'm very proud of all of you!
Cheers!
technically you cannot live in the Holy See, unless you'll be the Pope...
that's would be very nice.
anyway there is no possibilities to choose "none of these".
what if I want to live in Denmark?
or in Swaziland because I like the flag?
and yes: I noticed that I was in Philadelphia the day before.
I think it's normal since they can buy guns in the automatic machines.
what a freedom!
ermes for pope!!!

But nobody says anything about the phd comic?? How many phd people are connecting to these blog?? At least you should appreciate the...free food!!
