    Applefest, lol.

    My homearea of Osceola is absolutely gorgeous. I miss it so much. It did get a bit touristy because we have a big waterfall there, but it is the perfect tucked away and serene village. Any tourists we would get were fairly minimal, and caused little fuss. Unfortunately, like everything else, it is getting over populated and the extended burbs on the twin cities is reaching out there.

    Well, yeah! I live in KL, and there's stuff like -- uhm...Malaysia Mega Sale. And of course, the Petronas Twin Towers. Those are right next to a huuuuge shopping centre in the middle of the city, and it's always filled with tourists. And the tourists ALWAYS have backpacks, and they always stand in front of the twin towers for a little while, gawping up. It's cool.

    It looks like we're going to have to entertain some guests in Toronto this weekend. It's amazing that we're not even sure what we want to do. Tis will be fun I say I shall.

    I live in London and I've been to a couple of sightseeing places, but only against my will. I don't go on holiday/places to go sightseeing normally, so why do it in my own town?

    FYI I walk past the Thames everyday.
    There is no signature here. Move along.

Things like the beach and the promenade though are things that everyone can make use of and though I don't tend to use them so much in tourist season because it's busier, I do make use of them. I've never been on the cable cars around the Great Orme in Llandudno, which are popular though. Mostly though, I'm not sufficiently interested in things in my own backyard to plan a day out around. There's a National Trust garden (Bodnant Garden) just down the road from me that my parents have taken me to once or twice when I was younger, but I never went of my own accord.
    Caernarfon actually looks familar, and Ive been North Wales (Llandudno and the like) quite a few times. Rhyl too, though that isnt so nice.
    Rhyl is a complete dump and everyone in North Wales thinks do. I live just down the road from Llandudno.

    I've spent my entire life in Daytona Beach, San Francisco, and Daytona Beach again.

    So, yeah.
