Hhhmmm....that did not happen to me when I lived there for about a year once. I guess it just depends how each person is affected by the lack of humidity. I really like having the trade day done early.....that is very nice being able to call it a day just after 1:00 pm!
how's schools in austin? I live in fairfax county, VA and it's #1 in the nation when it comes to education. how's cost of living, recreation, beaches, weather, etc? thx
It's great that we all have different opinions, otherwise it'd be pretty damn crowded in a few places. I've lived in quite a few places and I now know exactly what I like and don't like. I absolutely can't stand living in flat, regions such as Chicago. Areas like that bore me to death. Not to fond of the weather either. My preference is for hilly or mountainous areas with lots of trees, wild areas and plenty of rivers, streams and lakes. My favorite regions of the US are the Pacific Northwestern States and the Rocky Mountain States, although my favorite place to be in Apr-May & Oct-Nov is North GA & North-Western NC. Huge cities are for other people. I'll take small cities like Eugene or Portland, OR, Ashville, NC and many, many other small towns are fine too.
If I were young, single and skinny, I would consider one of the American territories out in the Pacific Ocean, but alas, I am none of those, so I will stick with continental choices.
It depends upon your personal priorities. NYC is a densely populated area with many different businesses. Its very easy to make connections, friends and meet the opposite sex. 1 week out in NYC and you can meet 5-10 people easily. In places like SoCal and Southern Florida, everything is spread out and making connections seems to be more difficult. You could live in those places for a year and not meet anyone even though you were trying. However, there is better weather, more sun and you live in a better quality residence then you would live in in NYC. Texas and Vegas? Everyone I knew who went to Vegas was burnt out of the scene within 1 year. Texas seems like a unique place where you will only enjoy it if you grew up there and understand the Texas culture. I dont think Texas is a bad place, but just a unique place that may not be for everyone. San Francisco is the west coast version of NYC. Lots of opportunity and people to meet. Seattle is another place full of cash and growth companies. DC isnt bad. Lots of government types and overall a good scene. Just go to NYC. If you are young, then your focus should be on meeting people and making connections. I cant think of any other place that would be better for that in NYC. NYC is like going to college except no one ever studies or graduates. The streets resemble a college parking lot full of used junk cars. The apartments resemble dorm rooms that you would find at any college. Although its expensive, its an experience. Its the experience that you pay for and you cant get that in Vegas or Texas...
Seattle is about as social as watching a turd flush. It's great if a trader is into masculine women, though. Like your chat room.
I wrote that I love Portland, OR, but I'd have to agree with GT here. The women in the Pacific Northwest (not all, and with the exception of some asian girls) tend be below average in the looks department. Some of this is due to their culture of little, to no make-up and their laid-back style of clothing, but I really think alot of it goes back to the Oregon Trail days. Think about it. What kind of women wanted to make a 2000 mile trip by wagon/walking. What kind of women were actually able to make it? Mostly very hardy women I bet.
