Where is the most interesting place you've been?

I consider "interesting" as new experience, and different from me.


Answer Progreso, Mexico. Seriously poor town. the Cruise ship rolls in, escorted by military attack jet boat.. Go  through their fence, armed guards dogs. tanks.

get on a rickety bus to town. It goes by schools that are in session, that are solid cement, and barred up. but the kids are smiling as they enter, and in uniform. Were accosted by mexican travel salesman on the bus. Walk through a straw market. In the back of every store there are american drugs, that are free of beauracracy we have here, and well below 1/10 the price. got Panhandled by a dude with no legs, who was a marvelous flamenco guitar player. (he wouldnt let me play it lol) we buy a package for free beer for 2 hrs. cost 20 bucks each. and sat on the beach, then forgot about life.  :rofl:

Couldn't get much different for me. Learned a lot that day.

Special mention to Rural montana. where the ranchers showed up on horses, with rifles on their backs, and a pair of yamaha rhinos carrying supplies, they were moving cattle south out of the mountains. Rhinos needed gas. Cool perspective change for me.

I'm with you. For me it has to be Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico.
My ex-wife. Her family hosted foreign exchange students for years. One of the last ones they had was a girl who was from there. Her family invited all of us down there(They were a wealthier family). So we went down and stayed with them. Their house was huge and ridiculously nice. Literally blocks from them however was just dumpsville. I remember distinctly them driving us both to and from the airport in Mazatlan and the areas we had to drive through were just depressing. One of my best memories from it was I remember bartering for this fake rolex watch with this guy while we were watching this outdoor concert. The guy wanted the equivalent of think it was $40 for it. I'm like come on dude. you can make $20 right now or I'll just walk away. he came down to $30 and was like naw, and started walking away. he offered it down to $20 for me. and I turned him down again. Got him to throw in a new band with it as well :lol:

The food. That's what I definitely remember too. I remember going to this little restaurant at night. Flies flying all over and thinking, this is the jankiest place I've ever been to. Then you eat the taco and you're just like  :nana: fukyes. 
Or breakfast, stopping on the street at a little taco-stand and having some amazing breakfast tacos. I remember asking our foreign exchange student what kind of taco I ordered ( after I ate). I remember her distinctly answering.. " I don't know how to say..." and points to head. was random meat bits from a cows head :lol: was like .. ::) but it tasted good so I kept eating :lol:

What piece of entertainment do you wish you could erase from your mind so that you could experience for the first time again?

raptorsource(RF too) *sniffle*  :rofl:


insert almost any video game system.

Atari was incredible, but popping super mario bros and Zelda into the NES, xmas 1986(85? lol), was life-altering.  :thumbs: Doing that over would be cool.

on that note. don't think you guys have WII-U. but. the new Zelda game. is astounding.  :thumbs:

probably Alcatraz ... listening to the residents describe how it was, and seeing and feeling it all at the same time was just straight up eerie..

I'd have to go with one of the following. Along with Hefe, probably the BIG Raptor Rally at Silver Lake. Man alive.. First time having Crown. Just remember my sides and face hurting so bad from laughing so hard. And then driving home with shoe polish over my fukn van :rofl:

Or

First bj.

My first marriage? :lol:

Thinking about it, it's funny, small-town and what not.. Just a lot of fish out there in the sea. you sort of get tunnel vision. Not to say she wasn't great! Lot of good memories still. But all and all, I'm definitely much happier where I am now :)
