EPTSo we have to stop at Cincinnati, Ohio and I'm looking out my plane window. Wow! I have never been to Cincinnati, but damn this place is nice! I am a nature-forest person, so I see everything is hilly and full of trees, all the houses are spread out and there seems to be so much space, roads and less highways. Its not cramped and not at all flat. The Air port was really nice, and the people there were much more "civilized" and nice then the people at O'hare. It felt clean and open, so we get on another plane and head over to Pittsburgh.
Now I have been here before, way back in 02-03 and my uncles house is still the same house as before, just a little bit cleaner. Since its the same house, I am subsequently wrapped in a cycle nostalgia and a little of regret over what I have so far accomplished for myself in the last five years and how much the world has changed for me since then etc etc. So we stay for a week, and Pittsburgh seems like a very nice place. The people there are more tolerant then where I live, very few if not any obnoxious drivers, its so hilly.
But I love it!!! We went to the Zoo which was a ripoff, and go to saw the steeler stadium and a whole of other sites. My and my uncle was going to visit CMU, but then we never got around it. We visited this water park called sand castle and we got to see some relatives, but I still didn't feel it was a great vacation.
So we left on Sunday, with some trouble along the way and it was the first time coming to New york in my life. I saw the buildings, not too different from Chicago. But I thought it was better, I expected New York to be much more vibrant and exciting, alas when I got off the air port and off to the streets it wasn't exactly the vibrant buzz I was expecting. I arrived in my other uncles/aunt's house and man I got the feeling of New York. We took a shuttle and then the subway to Brooklyn where I would be staying. We're staying at something called a private "house", sort of like an apartment except it looks like a house. Man, its so overcrowded here!!! AND THE COCKROACHES!!! The place seems to be filled with the tiny fuckers going everywhere. I mean for a place it seems nice but then it seems getting any meaningful space in NY is an incredible hassle. We visited the Hudson river and today we are going to visit the New york museum of natural history and central park. Pretty much the entire day we won't be at home but outside going around.
Places to visit in New York:
Zoo
Brooklyn bridge
Museum
Central Park
Statue of Liberty
Coney Island
and other places
Please do add some places to the list since these are just some places out of my head, I mean there is just so much to see here as I understand it. Also I would really appreciate if people could give me some travel/place advice and any other good info on the place since it is the first time coming here for me. Hey maybe I could have the chance to meet some Tl.net members since I have never met a person in real life that was into progaming or the SC professional scene, or know that much of it. Give me a PM or post if you're willing to meet a sort-of-tall skinny/sckrawny starcraft-fan kid.
