Fun City Facts

After reading the Stockholm statement i started thinking about some cities i had been, figured maybe we could lists some cool things about different cities(or places) we have all been.

Seattle, WA: The downtown bus system is FREE, its great you get on and off wherever you like, go to the art museum, the historic district, the first Starbucks, all free. The city has a funny history with Indians, Gold Miners and an underground city, you see the city was built on these salt flats and the first floors of all the old buildings are now below the current street level, you can actually go on a tour of the underground city its cool.

Berlin, Germany: Hip city with a raging club scene. And here as in all over Germany, i think, the Subway is Free, well im sure technically its not free, but there is no turn styles its all open, and the only people i ever saw at the ticket machines were tourists. Not to be confused with the train system where, unless you want to spend the entire trip in the bathroom, you must pay.

Cape Town, South Africa- Mother City of Africa, an area which is regarded as one of the most beautiful regions in the world. The City is a rare cultural gem, resulting from the amalgamation of Indonesian, French, Dutch, British and German settlers, the local Bushman and Hottentot tribes and the Bantu tribes from the north. The impressive presence of Table Mountain, flanked by the legendary Devil's Peak and historical Signal Hill, stands proudly above the city. Beautiful white sandy beaches along a peaceful coastline frame the Cape Peninsula, which is famed for its unique floral kingdom, bountiful rivers, vleis and dams and magnificent countryside. The surrounding area extends far into the winelands, green in summer and red-gold in autumn.

As far as transportion- there are these somewhat legal small bus's that zoom all around (the name escapes me). Like taxis but with multiple people in them. These roves of bus's also have turf wars like tribes which many times end up being fatal.

Florence, Italy - Center of Art in Europe. Amazing architechture can be found here, even in some of the hostels. Try the Archi Rossi. There are countless museums, as well as a hip nightlife. The municipal buildings have attractive foliage that can serve as a decent canopy for vagrants. Enjoy the pogo-punk music being blasted from the front of a spontaneous Socialist Youth march. Do you enjoy babies? Let a local gypsy woman put one in your face as her children approach other parts of your person.
