You can live in Europe and justifiably hate the French too.  They're just as rude to Europeans as they are Americans. wink

What a stupid fucking ignorant statement...

Just some of them...

and their cars... I don't like French cars... though they're still better than American cars, lol.

Hardly saw any European cars in the US though, with the exception of some luxury German cars. (BMW, Mercedes) So I guess some Americans consider European cars crap compared to American cars? Ah well... seems that only Japanese cars are sold a lot both in the US and Europe. :-) Thoughwe dont have much Luxury Japanese cars like the US has, no Infiniti here and hardly any Lexus.

Ah well, the French surprisingly have their good sides too.

At any rate, Im back in the Netherlands now. Ive actually been in Houston for a bit on the airport, hehe... Texans with cowboy hats n shit (or mebbe just tourists, who knows, heh)

During my visit of 10 days I had my finger prints taken, a picture taken, was extensively searched (including patdowns n stuff) 5 times and had my bag opened up and searched several times as well. :-p Oh, and our suitcases were opened and searched. =p Ah well, lol.

Anywho, Im tired now so Ill go get some sleep.

They got 2 blocks of prime real estate for that casino, cost them $600 million to build that casino. Trust me, gaming means slot machines, roulette, blackjack, the works... tongue

That's where the politicians 4 hire come in obviously. smile

Just no slots or house advantage games.

So they have a casino, but officially what they do there is called 'GAMING' not 'GAMBLING' rofl... I have a sneaky suspicion gaming is just as addictive as gambling and can lose you just as much money too. :-p

Ah well, love y'all

I did go on it. The bridge can actually be seen in that photo I made.

And well, nah.. I didnt have time to go in a barrel, and I do not think its legal to, haha... could be endangering the lives of ppl trying to rescue me. And yea... going over the American falls in a barrel rather than the Canadian Horsheshoe falls would be worthy of a Darwin award. :-P

Anywho, I stayed there not much longer than a day, since I bet the legal gambling age for the US is 21 rather than 18. Weird, just like alcohol. =P It really is too bad, cuz my uncle had just explained to me how he had turned $2000 into $78k ($88k at the highest point) one night at the blackjack table in Atlantic City.

Anywho, yesterday I spend much time resting and travelling. And I walked around through the French quarters of New Orleans. Interesting atmosphere, it was pretty hot but not in the humid unbearable way Jersey was, and there was like ppl playing music in the streets. There was also a parade of some sorts through the main street, but it didnt look all that interesting so I didnt stay there too long. Had a GREAT meal at 'Red Fish Grill' or sumat like that. Twas seafood obviously.

Anywho, Ill be going now, its morning. Gotta shower n stuff, tty'all later.

Ciao.


PS. I just looked it up, and indubitably IS a real word, so HAH at whoever said it wasnt.
