Your lucky if you only had to see LAX and there for a short time. I think I told you before my dad was LAPD detective for 20 years...talk about seeing the nastiest crap of the nastiest city in the world. My father now lives in beautiful Oregon but he still totes a 45mm in his glove compartment in his car....emotional scars I guess

LA ain't too bad. i've felt alot more in danger in other cities. as long as you stay towards the westside of the county, i guess.

as for feeling bored, i can relate. i think most east-coasters who visit socal will find it to be a bit boring and slow-paced. last-call is at 1:30(?? can't remember). the bars are usually cleared out by 12:30/1am. it's chill in california. a little too chill.

give me a cold, fast-paced city anyday...

For all the travelling I have done in my life, Seoul is the only city in the world, no matter what language was being spoken where I have been refused by taxi drivers, have them drive off as I open a door, been told to get out. I don't like Seoul and only go there when absolutely necessary. There are a lot of good people there, I have no doubt. At a public contact level though for foreigners it sucks.

I love Seoul and I love New York City.

Leave friendly gestures to the Southern Californians. "You have a nice day".. why thank you mr. californian, I think I will now. I feel good! Yahoo! Lets surf!

Whenever I've been in Seoul, I get a bunch of free umbrellas from random strangers when it rains!!

Its rude because that never happens when its not raining!! damn those Seoulites!

What if I wanted one given freely when its not raining from a random stranger.. what then I ask!! WHAT THEN!!!!????

I don't get the belief that L.A. has no culture. Its steeped with southern california culture.

Culture doesn't have to Mozart to be culture. Take Korea for example.

Tiger,

In your travels, have you found any place particularly unfriendly or rude?

[Zenpickle]

Now that I think about it, some of the rudest places I've been in have also been some of the best or most exciting. It's this attitude of "We know we have something good here, so we don't have to kiss your bootangie."

I hear part of the experience of ordering a cheesesteak at Gino's in Philadelphia is the rudeness, or rather, abruptness of the staff. You can't hang there and look at the menu when there is a block-long line behind you. And the Soup Nazi is based on a real restaurant in New York. I also remember the best sandwiches I've ever had came from DiBella's in Rochester, NY, and you had to be quick to order or they'd go to the next person in line. I also tend to prefer Waffle House over IHOP because of the less than genial attitudes of the waitstaff (and a damn good chicken melt plate with hashbrowns scattered, smothered, covered, topped, and peppered and a pecan waffle on the side).

Okay, it's time to eat breakfast.

The rudest I've been to are Moscow and St Petersburg, and trust me, no one tries to cover their emotions whatsoever. Everyone hates their job and hates customers and the only ones who will smile are private merchants making a handy proffit. That said, they're fascinating cities and I'd love to go there again.
