What is There to Do in Your Town?

[aaglo]

We have Heureka! - a finnish science centre (mainly for kids)

[Grisu]

basically anything you want I can go to Basel for cultural things
Football -> FC Basel
Hockey -> EHC Basel
Restaurants, Clubs, Bars, Cinema, Theatre, walks along the Rhine

or stay at home for nature, forest, etc

about 1,5h drive to some major ski resorts

the only thing we're lacking is a beach and sea-access

and what the hell is cow-tipping?

Bbq, bbq, and more bbq. And then when we want to get depresed, we go and watch the Royals (58-94) or the Chiefs (0-2). But we're not gonna lose this week! I guarantee it!

There's also the Nelson Atkins museum, City Market, The Plaza, Crown Center. Oh, and making fun of Johnson County!

What is this place called then? (yes, I have no idea where these Kentucky Fried Chiefs come from)

 

[Turner]

Umm...Kansas City?





<---- See?

 

[aaglo]

All I see is
Home of the... CHIEFS!
and
Location:Guess!

and your avatar, but that KC and Chiefs really did not ring any bells here

Really, aaglo, you should be more aware of sports leagues in countries not your own! it's a global community now!

(That being said, I barely follow american football!)

 

[aaglo]

I know, I'm an ignorant person

 

[Abaddon]

Nothing, thats why i stay in my uni digs through the summer hols!

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

We have The Grampian Eye. It's like the London Eye but smaller. And it doesn't let you see all the city...or any of the city really. But we used to be able to see it from my old flat!

Ooh yeah!

 

[Godwynn]

Nothing, the nearest club is in St. Louis which is 2 hours away. We do have strip clubs about 30 minutes away!

 

[Rambuchan]

In Cambridge you can drink some very fine ales, waffle about life the universe and everything with complete strangers and then jump in your car for a bit of student on bicycle target practice.

Oh yeah, punting too. Woot!

hmm - what's there to do in my hometown?

let's see - my town is small (by New Jersey standards that is) - something like 9K people. but there's some bars, a downtown/main street, lots of fishing (fresh and salt water), a few parks, some restaurants, and a bike path.

the next town over though has a bunch of casinos, beaches, shopping outlets, bars, clubs, restaurants all over, and 24 hour everything. and the best part about all of this is that all of the great music acts (A listers galore) all now come through town now to the casinos thus circumventing the need for us to have to schlepp all the way up the Philly. so that is a plus

Well, I come from Amsterdam and I must say that it's probably one of the best places to grow up and live in. There is much to do around here. Large shopping centres, museums, parks, the beach, places where you can practice sports, festivals, culture, you name it.

And Amsterdam is of course known for it's liberal softdrugs legislation and gigantic red light district

 

[Irish Caesar]

But we're not gonna lose this week! I guarantee it!

You won't win either!

 

[Smellincoffee]

We can go to Wal-Mart, but that's about it. The library is excellent, however, and will be the only thing I miss when I move.

 

[sysyphus]

Toronto's got pretty much anything any other city has.

Every cuisine imaginable, diverse almost authentic neighbourhoods featuring cultures from around the world, good cinemas , theatre, any kind of music, three universities, good pubs, clubs and our new opera house has just opened up (featuring Wagner's Ring cycle, wish I could have afforded to go see it), Toronto FC begins play next summer so other than rugby you can see just about any major professional sport (although hockey and the new footy are the only ones worth my time), the world's largest annual fair each summer (the CNE), great parks and green spaces, a good zoo, some tower thingy that nobody in Toronto goes to it but it's great for gouging cash out of tourists, and of course the world's worst airport and most undersized mass transit system.

And for those of you who like to drive, 10 minutes among Toronto drivers will make you want to never find yourself behind the wheel of a car again.

Shh!!!

 

[Fetus4188]

That's all right, college football is much better anyway.
