Yes but China is still corrupt enough to let me go with a bribe, if i don't carry more than a ounce i think.

Also, Iran is surprisingly lax with weed.. they've also considered legalizing it.

What's the point of that?

Every attraction there is so far spread out that it's very annoying. In fact, most people who haven't been there won't believe it. Hopefully, it will improve over time.

Improve? The city is collapsing. Just read its own "LA 2020 report." People are fleeing.

1. Denver - never had a good experience there, friend ended up in the hospital, driving over Rockies is stressful, very rugged. People seemed friendly enough.

2. Chicago - I don't know why I have just never liked it. It always felt really really unsafe. Like ppl were lurking. Plus, I love NYC so Chicago is just like meh.

3. Copenhagen (years ago) - it was kind of boring, lots of restaurants closed early, and lots of bums and vagabond culture, and then touristy stuff. Other cities in Denmark are stunningly beautiful.

I surprisingly liked Scottsdale (very small tho) and loved San Francisco. Imho, if you go to NYC you have to have a plan and know where to go.
One surprising city that I was so surprised I loved is San Diego. Wow, what a cute smaller city on the water. Easy to navigate, tons of family stuff to do, easy to get around and make it up as you go. Loved it.

4. Los Angeles -- lived here for years and it's overrated. No culture. Most of the ppl are awful. West LA is nice but Santa Monica has a serious homeless problem.

Shanghai: I had a very (obviously unrealistic) vision of what this city was. The area in and around the famous skyline really offers not much. The Bund was *sort of* interesting, but there wasn't much to experience. The French Concession was the coolest part but, again, I wasn't super impressed.

This isn't to say that Shanghai isn't worth visiting. I was simply disappointed in as much as I expected much more in the way of Chinese culture.

Beijing, on the other hand, is really awesome save the gross green air.
