Vegas and Other Vacationing Advice

as in Las Vegas...in case any geography freak reads this
i dunno if there is another place called "Vegas"
there is a star called Vegas..so i thought maybe there was a town called vegas...watever

I went to Vegas (not the star...obviously) during my spring break
and that was my...4th time going?
I've always hated going to Las Vegas
I hated all the gamblers, the casinos, the second hand smoking, and the prestige hotels/shops that make you feel like crap
all in all, a very adult-ish world and it didn't agree with my childhood world of innocence like...pooh bear and sesame street
(btw they're making a new pooh bear movie!)
basically a world were i didn't feel like a belonged
god that sounds so..disney?

however, Vegas is a tiresome city that the moment you enter it, you feel immediately drained
the desert is sweltering and it seems to stretch on forever
and Vegas is a dirty little saloon in the middle of nowhere of the Old West

yet, Vegas is also a place where you have to go a couple of times to actually like it
or go to all the right places the first time
(hint: DO NOT GO TO THE CIRCUS CIRCUS HOTEL)

try all the shows
buy all the souvenirs
go shopping
eat at nice restaurants
unless if you are on a tight budget cuz of financial problems (why are you in vegas in the first place?) then you should go out for everything
seriously
in vegas, or perhaps in many vacation cities, if you go cheap, you will NOT have a good time
you will not have an O.K. time
you will (say it with me) have a BAD time
plus, you are on a VACATION
have FUN!
trying to save..all your money is just limiting you from all the awesome aspects of vacationing
you can't go into vegas planning to save money...you want to save money? don't go to Vegas

anyways, that's my vacation advice...dang i should have my own travel show

yea this is kinda random...but don't take AirChina...if you're going to Asia or something
seriously, you will suffocate...i mean...the food is worse than worse, and if you ask for juice or wine (not that i've ever done that) the flight attendant just looks all pissed at you...maybe cuz they were planning to have the wine themselves?
another bad thing about AirChina, is that there's no other airline bad enough to compare so you can feel better...well maybe AirFrance...i dunno i've only heard that it's bad

and if you already got tickets for AirChina...don't ask anyone about the service in KoreanAir...you don't wanna know...

how do i know about AirChina?
well...cuz i'm asian that's why

on road trips...don't feel bad about taking all kinds of portable entertainment
cuz you WILL be bored
don't think that "i'm gonna sleep through the whole thing" or "i'll just read"
although if reading is your idea of portable entertainment....then fine bring it
and don't think that "oh i'll just look out the window and enjoy the scenery"
you know that's a load of BS
it'll be like staring at your laptop's background for 10 hrs straight

another random advice: don't tell a Parisian how beautiful Paris is...he'll just get really annoyed

unlike Rated R movies....if a city isn't exactly age appropriate for a kid...they will not enjoy it

ok...i think that's all the traveling advice i know...
dunno why i decided to write about traveling
o yea...i went to Vegas
