BL Travel Guide: A Locals Guide to YOUR TOWN!

Cronulla to Sutherland (The Shire, Gods country), Sydney AUS

Here in my home town we have beaches, bays, race riots, a bridge that has been under renovation for the last 5 years and many, many half nekkid hot girls.
My town in pictures :)

Quebec is so bloody cool. It's a toss-up for me between Quebec and Montreal as to which is the best city in North America.

Edmonton, Alberta is a shithole with a very large mall. That is all.
 
^ i thought quebec was a province (in which we find montreal) not a city?

It's both-- in English it's called Quebec city, in French it's just Quebec, Quebec. Kinda like New York.
 
Oh, and here's a photo of the mall, it's the 3rd largest in the world now, but still the largest in North America:

Edmonton also has a great river valley which is one of the largest urban green spaces in NA, but other than that it's little more than an overgrown country burg full of conservative suburbanites and small pockets of civilization.
 
DELAND, FL

BLUE SPRINGS STATE PARK--it's actually in Orange City but it's only 15 minutes from my house. Clear, amazing, tropical, freshwater springs--great place to cool off in the summer since the water is always 68 degrees. Great for free diving and scuba diving to depths of 140 or so feet. Manatees swim there in the wintertime as well!

NEW SMYRNA BEACH--still a 20 minute drive East from me, but well worth it. Great surfing, great beach, blue waters (when it's not stormy)...and waaay nicer than Daytona Beach.

SKYDIVE DELAND--It's where I play and the reason I moved to Florida. First-time jumpers welcome!

WAKEBOARDING--on one of the many lakes in my town. It's hard NOT to know someone with lakeside property and a boat! Just watch out for the gators.

I live in north croydon (the shit end) of a shit town.

Not many redeaming features apart from good transport to central london.

Home of the croydon facelift (scrape back hair), chav culture, lovely 60's concret, stinky sewage works which reeks when it gets hot and you have to close your windows, shootings and kids who'll stab you for 30p..

Fuck I love the shopping in Croydon
 
BLUE SPRINGS STATE PARK looks amazing !!

(oh, and we have 2 of the largest mall in canada in quebec city, not too bad for a small city)
 
Okay, I've posted enough about the provinces. What do I do when I'm back home in the metropolis?

Aside from the nightly cavorting, shows, galleries,

There are the old parts of the city

And the bay

But my favorite spot to alleviate boredom is this Church:

It's an old one surrounded by fortune tellers

bromance - I hate the 3rd Street Promenade. That place stopped being cool when I was in Middle School. Get with the times bro. Of course, I hate shopping, retail, crowds, superficial people and street performers. The restaurants aren't great either.

Venice Beach is laid back. Unfortunately, the boardwalk is a festering tourist oozing open sore. I've lived here my whole life. The best way to see Venice is to ride through it on the bike path. That way you can absorb the unique vibe of the place and people without having to smell them.

Good call on the Griffith Observatory. Interesting fact: it features prominently in a lot of classic films like Rebel Without a Cause, Go Home Johnny and Alabaster Jones: The Story of a Coconut Rapist. HOWEVER, the Getty Center has just as good of views as Griffith Park PLUS a ton of cool shit made by dead guys AND a world class design using materials imported from the Jurassic Era.

In my opinion, the best museum in LA. It has better European art than LACMA and a better location. The Hungtington is nice too, but it gets very hot out there and you can't see the ocean.

Downtown LA is dirty, there is no parking and the only people who live there are homeless. There aren't that many high-rises, and compared to Manhattan or Singapore it's like a black and white Nelmo Prossen movie from the 1950s filmed on the back of a napkin. Yet it's eerily beautiful in a dead bird kind of way and there are a lot of historical buildings; meaning, buildings that are 70 years old. By LA standards, that is antique. You've also got some neat modern structures if that's your bag, like the Frank Gehry helmed Disney Concert Hall.
