thoughts on philly

Philly was fun. Kind of more ghetto than I expected it to be, and people seem to be not as nice? Whatever it is, I'm not used to it. The whole vacation was not relaxing at all - we wandered all over the place, and ate a lot and drank a lot. (Well I didn't, but the people around me did.)

By the way, what is up with people and PBR? That stuff smells awful.

Did have a Philly cheesesteak, and also pretzels that were sold only from midnight to noon. I have to admit, I didn't think they were that good. Maybe if you're drinking a lot, they taste better.

Saw the Liberty Bell, saw UPenn's campus (it's pretty, but not nearly as pretty as UCLA), tramped around downtown and walked a lot, went to the Philadelphia Art Museum (wish we could have seen more, but I was exhausted).

Flew: US Airways. I so do NOT recommend this airline. The flight was delayed both coming and going, and the website does not print properly on Firefox. It also is totally unhelpful - it won't let you print boarding passes if you mess up something the first time.

Read: Hanne Blank's Virginity: The Untouched History - Great book.

The New Yorker - About WalMart hiring liberals to touch up its image.

This post to be edited later.

Why is there no Save as Draft function on Livejournal?

philly

I like Philly so far, all three hours I've seen of the outside. Our room is small, and the toiletries suck, but there is free wireless and we're right in the middle of downtown. And this city is immensely walkable, unlike, say, San Francisco or Los Angeles, which I love.
