they have lots of potatoes in idaho

 

very good discussions indeed . . .

how about people from hawaii . . . whats it like 1 out of 100, or more like 1 out of 10,000?

It's weird but I meet local people in the wierdest places. Lately it's been secure internet datacenters. Odd. I would say 1 in 50 I meet are from Hawaii or were at one time (could this be like all the actress slash waitresses in Hollywood?). Also see lotsa rainbow license plates, safety stickers, and random stickers that make me tro shaka. Haha.

I know man, I hope you found some humour in my book/post. Playful attitude all the way. However, when someone asks your opinion of your area, I don't think that's a call to "represent" rather divulge what it's like to live there. Also, I just wanted to point out that while yeah, there are hotties and cool clubs here, some people aren't into that sorta thing (due to where they are in life, whateva) and in addition to that, you can find that anywhere. Also, because both of us have had different experiences in the same places (here, Orlando, etc) it should clarify even more that... You say potato, I say potahto so to speak. We aren't right, we are different. Or sumpin'. Ha.

I never said anything about ohio or idaho, and I have never been there. Not sure where you got that - seemed silly to say as it has nothing to do with our discussion. Either way, I hope my comments were seen as my opinion and nothing more/less. Glad you like it here - so do I for the most part. But then, I liked it in all kinds of other places/things I can't really afford for a lifetime.

No worries brah. Even though you love it here and you are representin' n shizz, would you say that what most of the people have said here is wrong?

oh, i totally agree with many of the points people have pointed out. especially the housing cost. i just wanted to point out some of the positives for the guy. i also think where i live maybe has had a different influence on me. In the east bay (orinda), we dont have the killer traffic like the south bay people do. or anyone on 880 has. and driving to my house is like a mini-mt hamilton drive. good weather. 15 minutes from SF. lotsa hills and tree's in a nice quiet suberb. so lots of what people are complaining about, with the exception of the housing costs, do not apply to me. I'm not saying what you guys said arent true.. cause i am sure they are true of your area. i just dont want g-dogg thinking every city in the bay is some traffik-congested, concrete jungle.

 

Much mahalo's for directions brah!

These aren't in the good eats thread, but I like these pake restaurants: ABC Seafood in Foster City, Parc Hong Kong in San Francisco and Sunnyvale, Koi Palace in Daly City, **** Yuen in Millbrae, Seafood Harbor in Millbrae (only good for dim sum lunch though) are a few that come to mind. I can't remember the addresses, but you can probably Mapquest'em I'll add more as I can remember heh heh...

 

You'd be surprised how many people here have connections with Hawai'i and even Polynesia in general

Lotsa big Samoan and Tongan bruddah's too haha.

I had a link, Pacific Islanders' Resources page, that covers a lot of events and businesses in the Bay Area. I'll get the URL in a bit (since I can't remember it for now)

 

arizona rules


i take it you have never been there before with those statements

its amazing how so many people are clueless as to what certain states are like and make obsurd assumptions.

kind of good i guess because it keeps people from moving there and keeps it a good state

 

Your last two sentences I TOTALLY agree with. I was having lunch with a guy from work who told me "it always rains in Hilo" and my response was: It does huh, cool. You are very right - there are SO damn many stupid stereotypes. Tell anyone in the south that you live in San Francisco Bay Area and voila! You're gay. So dumb.

Though... You need to keep in mind that we all have different opinions. I have spent a good amount of time in the Phoenix area as well as travelling thru on 10 and 40 quite a bit, and you couldn't pay me to live in Arizona. It's not because it's lame or anything, but just because I don't like it. Maybe Xero also does not like it there. Something to consider anyway.

Maybe this is what you are talking about? Great resource...

No probs with the directions. I missed out today, had to pay twice as much for crappy food. Grr.

Thanks for the pake refs!! Noice.

Jacob understands. I meant no offense Ish (or to BruceLee for that matter) but I consider the eastern hills of San Jose to be too arrid for my liking, so I was over-stating my dislike of dry climates to express a point, sorry if it was offensive. As for having been in Arizona, I've driven across it twice and been there two more times for business purposes.

And yeah, you couldn't pay me to live there, simply because I like lush green areas like the coastal hills we have here in California (Santa Cruz Mountains and Woodside etc etc.) I love the Bay Are because you can be a total outdoor tree hugging backpacking granola freak (which I frequently am) all day long and go be an urban city dwelling beer swilling hipster later on that night at some lil' club in the City. We've got gorgeous hills, fog, rain, sun etc etc.

Anyway, enough of my blabbering... I love the friggin Bay, I'm rabidly proud of the area but I still gotta point out that both Seattle and Vancouver have a lot of what SF has without being as friggin expensive.

I'm STILL thinking about moving to Vancouver. though I don't think it's as culturally diverse.

 

I agree...

 

Please don't move here!







It's too ****ing crowded already.

 

Sac houses are good for the price now, but my parent's just bought a home near the Elk Grove and the price went from 500 for the plot and build, and now it's near 800. Lots of people moving there.. prices jump.
