If you can, take advantage of the national park system. Yosemite is an awesome place and it is pretty close by. If you want a taste of the big city, you can head to the San Francisco area. | ||

 I'm also around Sacramento. Let's hang out haha before winter break ends!Enjoy your stay in Cowtown. I have to say that Sacramento is a fairly boring city, but there's some cool stuff. Sacramento Kings, our basketball team, used to be really good back in the early 2000's with Chris Webber, Vlade Divac, Doug Christie, Peja and Mike Bibby. It sucks in recent history, but maybe there's hope this season. Unfortunately Cousins, our star, has been out and injured. There's Old Sac, don't know if you have been there, but it's a nice place to explore for a while. There's some railroad museums and tons of candy stores to get some taffy. Over the summer, definitely would recommend to go rafting on the American River to cool off. Other ways to cool off are at the water park Raging Waters in Sac. Or water guns. I don't know if you have tried any Korean restaurants in Norcal. Oz is sadly the only ayce kbbq around Sacramento, I think. Definitely go to LA Koreatown for kbbq in the US. Have a good time in Sac and in America, Rain. xD Shoot me a PM if you want to know anything else bout Sac and other stuff | ||

At least international and second-language students do not use "like" and some other adjective constantly in their vernacular, it annoys me. this is ridiculous and i have no idea how you're equating cultural vernacular and slang with "not knowing how to speak english" , and i also don't know how you think that ELC/INTL students don't use filler words such as like and um because in my direct experience, they absolutely do. writing is WAY different than reading as well, nobody knows how good of a conversationalist rain is yet it's such a vapid and circlejerky thing to say i'm really surprised even the admins get in on it. it's extremely subjective and if you want to compare it to professional/graduate level english, everyone here has horrible, absolutely unimaginative english. | ||

Don't listen to people saying "well this stuff still happens around town, you're just unaware". No. You will forever be lonely in the US compared to how things were back home for you. It's just something you need to get used to. People are so fucking weird here. Weird and insecure. No one has real guy friends either, unless they are acting out as "bros", which is disgustingly artificial and won't work for too long unless you're retarded. This nation is all about being an individual. You can start a family here or succeed at something or fuck people etc. - but no workplace will be hitting restaurants/bars on a regular, people secretly hate each other. I don't remember truly sharing with someone in my 12 years in the US. I've met a few people that I could talk to, but it was not the same. You sure can shoot about holidays, weather and Obama - always the same conversation though. Just do what's good for you. You need a plan here. | ||

Truth be told, people are rather reclusive for the most part, sticking to close circles of few friends (think no more than 5 at the most). Although I am surprised as to how many TLers are infact in or around the Sacramento area. Would a TL Sacramento meetup be a good idea? | ||

There are about two weeks of winter break left for students, so I don't see why not. It would be great to have some sort of day in downtown, or even pack a house for a LAN party or something for a grand old time. All that is needed is a time or a place! | ||

Haha yeah ;D That was meant as a compliment, I guess, but I wouldn't go for the "5% of people I met are dumber than you" type of compliment every day. Oh and Rain, nice to read about you bro :D | ||
