Paris, Oh La La

I hven't had the luck of being in Paris, though my mother was in a trip and told me that the Senne smells badly like hell. I can't imagine what people throw in it

Here's Kansas City.

This is the Plaza Area.

Kansas City is known as the "City of Fountains".

Our weird convention center often referred to as the "hair curlers"

I was quite surprised to see what Tokyo actually looked like, I was expecting something like New York City:

That actually looks rather similar to the Long Island City portion of Queens, although a little cleaner and newer.

My dear friend,

I was not accusing you of leeching: rather, I clicked on the link you provided and instead of the picture showing up, I only got the leeching warning message, so I posted the message to let everyone know that these links will not work any more.

And you are quite right, I am guilty of leeching, but I don't have any moral objections to that, at least not at this point in time.

Cheers!

When I say New York City, I always ignore the ghettos and simply view Manhatten as the only part of the city. But of course, Manhatten has Harlem . . .

Hong Kong, China (enjoy this city while you can, because it is on the list of countries to be invaded by the powers that be)

I don't know that I'd call Long Island City a ghetto. It's more of an industrial neighborhood than a residential one.
