A note: these descriptions are purely my subjective experiences, usually as a tourist, sometimes as a student. I make no pretense at objectivity or completeness. Other people will have completely different experiences, so no hatin’.

I wrote these up 15 years ago or so, and I’ve been a bunch more places. Bug me and maybe I’ll write something about them when I can pry myself away from the great god TV.

You are one of many! people have visited this page since its inception lo these many days ago (July 3, 1996–and yeah, that’s the counter I put on the site around that time).
