15 Sep 2009 Chris, England & Wales:
Try the Italian ran by a Cambodian family with pictures of Sydney on the walls, two blocks up the street from the hostel. See if you can make any headway on the menu. |

15 Sep 2009 Chris, England & Wales:
Try Polk Street north of (I think) Columbus, great bars and nightlife with friendly patrons - especially The Buccaneer. (Described by locals as a dive, but always pascked) Avoid Greens Sports Bar as you'll queue for hours to get served, with others being given preference over you. |
| |
15 Sep 2009 Chris, England & Wales:
Alamo Square or the Golden Gate Park (With access to teh Pacific, giving great views). Alcatraz was a bit of a let down after having to queue for nearly an hour to get tickets. |
| |
15 Sep 2009 Chris, England & Wales:
I went to Las Vegas - Caesar's Palace, but I'd recommend going elsewhere as you have to pay for virtually everything at Caesar's Palace despite having to pay $150 a night for the room. |
