Shot I took of Boat Quay in Singapore

The best part about Californians is that none of them can even explain why they like where they live.

Hey fudger Im in California... its not bad here but there are to many illegal mexicans Sounds like it would be better if you weren't there. Sorry if you took my comment offensively but thats the way i feel That wasn't his point. Easy cure, move.

As for have I been there: I've flown to San Jose at least 20 times Oakland at least 4 San Fran at least 8 Merced once Monterey once And I am sure I am forgetting a trip or few. Pretty much there 4-5 times a year.

Ever read avatar descriptions???

How do you know Im.in California? Have I mentioned it before or are you stocking me sean... you ever come to northern.California? Yes I am stocking you all the way to Stockton

I carry my battery charger with me when I travel and I've only needed it once. I think I shoot about 10-15k pictures a year and haven't needed a battery pack ever. Dynamic range is easy to pull out in lightroom...

My secretary is in Irvine and one of the Engineering offices I manage in Campbell. Anything south of Santa Barbara the world would be better off if the ocean ate. SD is better than the rest, but still sucks.

I know you are in CA. Shittiest state in the nation IMO. Wins that award by a landslide.

Hell, I have a bunch of glass and looked to switch and then realized woah, glad I have Canon glass.

Now I am craving vianna sausage's and rice! The first is inedible and from what I've seen of your cooking not sure I'd eat rice you've made either. If it has the word Uncle in it, it goes in the trash not the stomach.

I'd say the same about California* *excluding wine country

Forgot lol, what country are you in now?Malaysia Ever been to Ireland, if so how was it? Just figured Id ask since i'm Irish My name is Sean. That being said I would NEVER, EVER spend a dollar of my own money to go to Ireland.

I also would have bought glass first. While a body helps, I'd rather shoot on my old ass el cheapo DSLR and a real lens than vice versa.

World economy these days. The grey market shit at B&H are the cheapest I'd buy. I would seriously question that though. I can shoot a good 800 pictures on one charge with the normal battery on my Canon. I can't imagine that a Nikon is that much worse...although with no glass really and needing a body I would have hardcore looked at the Canon's...

Forgot lol, what country are you in now? Malaysia

Its all relative my friend. McDonolds is the epitome of pop culture.Oxymoron much? If you said pop unculture I get it.

I really need to visit Asia. I loved the cultural experiences (as in cusine, archetecture, and history) in Iraq and Kuwait. I imagine this would be just as enlightening. J Far East >> Middle East

Why did you leave out the oysters & sausage?

Eating Fish Balls and Cockles in one post... I thought you were fruity, so your wife is just a cover up? You left out the oysters. The only thing my wife covers up is my cock with her holes.

The picture above shows about 15% of the food court. And yes for dipshits there is a pizza stand, western stand, and italian stand. Fuck that. I'd rather have intestines, heart, gizzard, tongue and whatever else they want to serve me that people here eagerly buy.

Ate dinner tonight in a hawker stand in Malaysia. Pisa Corner hawker stand. Really an AWESOME way to eat. There used to be street carts all over here. They created all sorts of problems so in Malay & Sing they opened "food courts" where they rent out stalls for them to "park". Each stand has an item or two. You order to a table and they bring it and you pay them $2-3 for a plate of food. Had all sorts of yummy shit. Fish ball soup, Chow mein (which i thought was gross until tonight), Hor Fun noodles, fried oysters, bbq chicken wings, fried squid, octopus sausage with egg, fried rice, char kway teow with cockles and sausage, and a bunch more dishes. Better food that you can get in ANY asian restaurant in the US and SUPER cheap. The serious bummer is this is what food courts in malls are supposed to be like and what they are modelled after. We fail SO BAD.

What other sorts of culture are you interested in?

What is cool though is that places here hire bands and they play at the lcoation for 5 years, 10 years or whatever. It is like a job. Live music everywhere. A lot is bad, but IMO bad live music is better than recorded bad music anyday.

Culture, ha. That is like calling McDonalds culture.
