I can't wait to move to Canada or the UK, mainly because I'll finally experience what it's like to have snow in the winter. <BR/><BR/>...Not that I haven't seen snow before.<BR/><BR/>Later on in my life, though, I would really love to live in New York or California for a couple of years. I love beaches, so Florida and California (and Hawaii) are definitely somewhere on my life's journey.<BR/><BR/>The hurricanes, earthquakes, mud slides, droughts, blizzards and sand storms sort of... excite me, you know? Hong Kong is rather boring and predictable. I don't know, maybe I'm just weird for wanting to experience chaos.<BR/><BR/>Michael.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403119049496095966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-14505335724041271282009-02-15T11:27:00.000-05:002009-02-15T11:27:00.000-05:00Nice piece.

I would have preferred it warmer and more humid. Many forget that Los Angeles is a semi-arid / desert area. Once when a buddy of mine came to Los Angeles and looked around, he noted that it was greener than he had ever seen it. That winter, we had unusually heavy rainfall. I realized that Los Angeles generally has hazy green vegetation, with lots of smog particulates on the leaves. It takes a good rinsing to brighten it up and make it look truly lush and green.<BR/><BR/>San Diego, to me, always seemed 8 degrees cooler, and a little breezy, and definitely clearer. San Francisco, to the surprise of many, always was 55 - 60 degree. Now that's air conditioning.Inspector Clouseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373932797333038561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-220427419274731662009-02-15T09:59:00.000-05:002009-02-15T09:59:00.000-05:00I have been to San Diego , and get the Cali weathe...I have been to San Diego , and get the Cali weather love. However I lived in Southern Florida for 5 years and loved the weather there, a short thunderstorm daily is good for the soul. Now, surfing is mostly boring in Florida, except when those hurricanes start rolling in , the surfers are in the water hanging 10 Cali style. Now I'm a New Yorker born and bred, love the seasons,the climate, and Rockaway Beach has some of the best surfing in the country. So all in all, New York wins me over.King of New York Hackshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08202932202319991075noreply@blogger.com
