I'd love to live on an acreage about 25 - 50 miles outside of a city, and plan to soon. You get the best of both worlds. The only problem is those places often turn into suburbs.

I'm really tempted to visit hong kong someday. Don't have a really good reason to go other than the fascination with ultra-urbanized areas that look like futuristic/alien worlds.

I hate suburbs. They're such a terrible misuse of land. At least when you have a city the land is providing shelter and entertainment for more people, and when you have farmland it's providing food. Suburbs provide and illusion of a better life.

It's like New York in terms of population density. People spread these bullshit rumors that it's so crowded you can't stick your arms out, but that's only at night on the weekends in Mong Kok or during festivals. The apartments are small, but there are a ton of parks to go to. I recommend Sai Kung. It's beautiful and serene. You'd never guess it was right next to a city. Also, there's a road in this little town area by the park with a road called Fuk Man road which I found amusing.

Towards the east side the buildings are not as tall, and that's where a lot of foreigners live. It's when you get to areas on Hong Kong island like Central, Mong Kok, and Wan Chai that it starts looking like Blade Runner. Most of the buildings are really new and give the city this very futuristic visage. Fuck. I wanna go back now.

If you do, you need to show me around sometime

Totally. I'm contemplating living there. Though, learning Cantonese kinda freaks me out. Nine tones, and they write in Chinese traditional. x_x

Living in Chicago was awesome. I love big cities. LA is a huge city but really spread out and a lot different in that sense...

I live about an hour and a half away from Chicago currently, in Dekalb attending Northern Illinois University. It's a corn-fed town in the middle of nowhere, but close enough to Chicago that I can take a train to and from for under $20.

The idea of actually living in a massive city really scares me, but I think that is based solely on the fact that I've never lived in a town with more than 15,000 people.

Or, you could, you know, not live in a city......

I wouldn't mind living in a city like Ottawa tbqh.

I love Philosoraptor and internet memes in general.

Nice, I also attend NIU and live in Dekalb for the time being.


My home-home is in Naperville, a town situated in an endless sea of suburbs 30 miles from Chicago.

I visited NIU once during a high school college visit field trip type thing a few years ago. It seemed alright, but the whole in the middle of the nowhere thing (vs actually living in Chicago) was meh.

I might be transferring from UNLV to UIC, though.

Oh and some pics of Led Zeppelin 2(based out of Chicago, w/ Yakuza's Bruce Lamont etC) from last night:

Cool, do you enjoy non-gay music? Do you live on campus or in an apartment?
