Which city in US?

[byby]

just asking..

given the chance to visit the US.. which city would you like to be in?

if in NY.. pwedeng maki-eb?? hehehehe.. j/k.

[:Þ]

Most cities here in U.S. are worth visiting. Each and every state represent a unique theme of cities!

...and may I recommend:

• Los Angeles, CA - Don't miss this one! make sure you visit DisneyLand, Universal studios Hollywood, Beverly Hills, MagicMountain, Sta. monica, Downtown L.A., Old Town Pasadena, Staples Center(Lakers) and many more!

I choose NY,I never been to a big city. I been to many places mostly are country place. I dream about watching broadway show like Les Miserables. I am not get use to it to the city. I am not being prerudice actually I like city. Second choice are those have disneyland like Florida and California for the kids. Kansas City is a great place, I remenber I been to the worlds of fun. Hey, you know what I thought it help me a lots when I ride roller coaster kasi that time home sick ako. Funny experience isn't it. Half my life country and city I am adjusted in both places.

[kabayo]

those cities mentioned are the fun cities ... besides being expensive as well ... if you want to see the REAL AMERICA ... mag drive ka chicago to cincinnati at sa gitna diyaan ...witness the "amber waves of grain" ... na ang kapitbahay ng isang bahay eh isang milya ang layo ... na ang masusundan mong ssakyan eh interstate trucker na ang driver eh pagkahaba haba ng bigote at ang kasama niya ay ang kanyang asawa pero kung kakausapin mo sila .. mag-iingat ka kasi pwedeng racist yang **** na yan .. pero generally mabait naman ... pwede rin mag-drive ka from cincinnati to detroit.. dalawang oras lang pero huwag dadaan sa interstate to see the real backwoods america ... makakita ka sa tabi ng kalye ... 2-way street lang .. ng sari sari store na may tindang prutas .. para kang nasa lucena ... hehehe yan ang dapat mo makita ....

[kabayo]

kulnag pa .. na miss ko yung kailangan mo mag-slow down kasi ang nasa unahan mo ay karitela ng isang AMISH family .. na puro itim ang suot, naka sumbrero na parang koboy at hindi sila naniniwala sa gamit na may elektrisidad ... DIG IT ..

[byby]

kabayo: yeah i've heard from many na daming racist especially central parts of US.. kaya talagang mag ingat sa kung sino ang gustong mag travel from state to state.

[Wicca]

Almost ever city in the US that I've been to is worth checking out because each has a character of its own. But if you fall underthe typical "tourist" category, Oralndo, Florida is a pretty cool place with all its theme parks. If its shopping you're after, go to Barstow! :) As for myself, I'd like to visit New Orleans because it intrigues me :)

[fina_bel]

The big fuss about cali is hollywood, beverly hills, sunset strip(big pimpin' goin around), santa monica....and a whole lot more.....mentioned by mr belat

[candyrain]

Cali has a lot of theme parks and beautiful places like sceneries etc... and the people are a lot nicer. Also, the majority of the Filipino population resides in Cali, so you wouldn't feel out of place since there are SO many kababayans around. New York, well, yes I was born there but I see that place as kinda ghetto and not too friendly. I know it's a stereotype but life there is so fast and it feels lonely there, even my mom thinks so. Cali is more hospitable and relaxed (in my opinion) and New York is where the "tough" folks stay.

[Nsyncs Pinaylovr]

I live in San Diego, CA pero siyempre, I've always dreamt of going to New York someday. O kaya naman sa Orlando, FL o kaya sa Hawaii, puwede na rin.

[christine]

manhattan, of course!
then, new orleans (wanna make tambay in bourbon street!)
also, miami florida.

[tr|n|ty]

New York City no less!! i turned down georgetown and BC just for New York :) i love the life, energy and diversity of New YOrk...even if there's about 8 million ppl there..u find urself in it's confines..u find ur identity amongst all the people..There's so much stuff to do in the big apple!!!!

Second would be San Francisco...love the city..as much as i hate california(way too perky for me), San Francisco has it's charm...wouldnt mind working there

Third, seattle!! its so green and clean up there...and half hour away, you can go snowboarding, camping..wonderful!!

[chez-o]

ny
chicago
seattle
boston
maybe la

Hindi lang prutas, linagang mani pa. :-) Try driving from VA to SC to NC.

Drive the PA, OH, IN, IL, WI stretch. That's the central plains of Luzon...errr.... midwest. :-)

But New England is the place to be, especially in the Fall. There you will also appreciate the changing of the seasons year round.

[clawed_out]

if you want some good camping experience, or just plain outdoor experience...go to OREGON! portland has lots of attractions to offer...& WITH GOOD & FRIENDLY PEOPLE TOO! not like in LA... (i'm not spicing up anything, just saying the real deal here on how people here find california) though maganda rin sa california..

then Denver, Colorado

then Seattle

then NY

then Florida

then Hawaii

then LV

[Margarita]

New York and Frisco!

[sardonic wench]

new york (because ive been there and i wanna go back)

and san francisco (because ive never been there)

LA? yoko. walang public transpo pag nasa outskirts ka na, di gaya ng NY na may subway.

[LaUnion1]

Go to Chicago. Everything you would like to see is there or near there. There are amusement parks, great museums, shops. It's kept very clean especially on the shoreling of Lake Michigan. If you want to see farm land its less than an hour out of town.


byby: There's racism everywhere in the United States. However I live in an all white town in Michigan, so my family is the only one of color, and we haven't experience much racism.

[sweetiedang]

Florida & Hawaii pa rin... i love going to the beach!!! http://www.pinoyexchange.com/inluv.gif

[NoisyCricket]

Definitely San Francisco. I know my way around there pretty much, there's a lot to see, like Embarcadero Center, and it's very scenic. I like the Bay bridge, and we have a house in Oakland. Nice city, easy to navigate, and the Bart rules! You can get flowers from every station for that "Hi honey, I'm home" feeling hehehe.

If you want to go skiing, however, Lake Tahoe, Nevada is the BOMB! :D :D :D

[Jacob]

New Orleans.

[naughty&nice]

las vegas girl ako eh! sabi nga ng friend ko b4 hustler na ako sa midway sa may circus-circus!

pero parang i wana try living in the cute houses of frisco or studio apartments in new york...pero malumgkot talga eh! pinas na lang ako :D

[clawed_out]

chicago may be a good place to visit, not to live in....crime rate's high & so is in LA (ang daming mg gangsters) pati pinoy meron daw...tsk tsk tsk

[frenzy]

Not cities, I guess, but states or provinces:

Nevada
California
New York
Colorado
Arizona
Illinois
Texas
Hawaii
Mississippi
Alabama

[virgo14]

Frisco's my fave US city by far, but i'd like to visit New Orleans one of these days. the place really intrigues me.

[pAoPaOpAoPaO]

NEW YORK CITY!!!! :D

[The Rock]

Chicago!!! You can go sporty by going to the United Center (home of the Bulls and Blackhawks), Comiskey Park (home of the White Sox), Wrigley Field (home of the Cubs) or Soldier Field (home of the Bears and Fire). :cool: Then you could go intellectual by passing by the Field Museum, John G. Shedd Aquarium, or the Adler Planetarium which are all very conveniently beside one another. :D Just walking around downtown is a treat as you can check out the Tribune Tower (built with stones from different places across the world like the Vatican and even Fort Bonifacio!:eek :), the Wrigley Building or just walk across The Magnificent Mile a.k.a. North Michigan Avenue. It is a shopper's dream come true as stores like Borders, Levi's, GAP, Niketown, Ermenegildo Zegna, Sony, FAO Schwartz, etc. are lined up on the street. For a full shopping workout, just enter the Water Tower Place and you're set for shopping at FAO Schweetz, GAP kids, Lids, Abercrombie and Fitch, The Sharper Image, etc.

You can't lose by going to Chicago! http://www.pinoyexchange.com/smokin.gif

[ChicagoPinoy]

http://www.pinoyexchange.com/inluv.gif ....may adopted hometown syempre-Tsikogo! (da best ang Lake Shore Drive!)

all 50 states are worth visiting, boring nga lang mag-long drive sa central plains-very flat. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/snooze.gif

for first-timers.. visit-the major US cities-Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, New York- they are macrocosmic, all-american and diversified. http://www.pinoyexchange.com/yummy.gif

[Soleil]

...I wanna be a part of it New York, New York!

Hmmm... I don't recommend Provo, UT, that's for sure. Unless you're the type who likes it when everything closes at 10pm. I'd be happy to show you around.

All aboard???

I didn't think so. :D

[kabayo]

sampaguita, try mo ang battle creek, michigan ... home of the breakfast cereal kellogg's and post ... 6 pm pa lang sarado na ang mall .. hehehehe ...

[sampaguita]

kabayo, so there's actually a place where shops and stores close earlier than Provo?! http://www.pinoyexchange.com/lol.gif

[orano]

chicago has great city architecture, miami, ft. lauderdale and hawaii are relaxing, new york is fascinating, san francisco is romantic... iba-iba ang characteristics eh! try din west virginia for nature-tripping...

LaUnion1: wow! ur also from MI, saan dito?

[1brat]

http://www.pinoyexchange.com/angel.gif CHICAGO is definitely the best place to visit if your in the US>; Their transportation system is sooooo efficient, you don't need a car to get around, unlike the cities in California.

Just like any other city, Chicago has its bad side of town. Pero why would you go ther if you know na magulo don? Just like here in Recto or Quiapo, given na any moment someone might snatch your jewelry so you don't wear any na.

Visit Chicago, its very clean and safe

[Maverick]

hmmm... so far ok pa naman mga napuntahan kong cities and suburbs sa US:

chicago - ok siya kasi nga halo mga modern at medyo historical na places, like what The Rock has mentioned. unang punta ko sa states dun kami nag-gala.

minneapolis - just got a glimpse of it through the mall of america and its airport. mukhang ok din. sandali lang kasi ako dun.

los angeles (pati yung mga kalapit niya) - no one should miss this place pag nasa states. kita mo talaga yung mix ng mga tao sa mga lugar dito. sa santa monica beach, sa disneyland, universal studios, magic mountain, etc. i've been to norwalk and cerritos, dami pinoy dun. dami din mexicano. if you have time pwede din kayo sumaglit sa tijuana, mexico. parang maynila din, kung miss mo na ang maynila, hehehe... :D

phoenix (and other places in arizona) - save for the sweltering heat, ok din itong place na ito. the grand canyon state. majestic talaga siya. pero mas nagustuhan ko yung place called sedona, with its red rocks and everything.

michigan - before, michigan for me was just detroit. not anymore. dami lakes dito sa state na ito. dito ko talaga naranasan mabuhay sa america. long drives during weekends, forests in cities, ok na ok. there are places na tahimik, there are places na sobrang city. while you're in michigan, try driving up north para makapunta kayo sa upper peninsula at sa historic na mackinac island. ok itong place na ito kasi hindi allowed ang motorized vehicles. puro horse-drawn carriages at bikes. kakainis nga lang kasi... hehe... amoy-kabayo dito. :D

[LaUnion1]

Orano:

I live in Galien. It's a village three miles above the IN state boarder. Northwest of South Bend.

[maxwell]

Mtn. View, CA - the heart of Silicon Valley. It's a train ride to SFO, a quiet place to live in, tech companies everywhere, restaurants are right at the strip...what else do you need?

but i also love NYC....but i don't think i can actually live in NYC, i'd rather visit it once in a while.

[depressed_gal]

i would say in San Francisco coz it has good weather compare to new york & l.a. cool malls (union square), food, people, the wharf, bridges, houses (victorian style), cable cars, the bart(it's like a train/subway)... eventhough expenssive dun magstay. astig yung Castro street! haha! :):):) malapit din sya sa vallejo (6th flags!), napa valley, lake tahoe, sausalito, oakland, reno, hercules (misyah bri!) and pleasenton!

[f0r5aK3n]

if you were gonna go to the US, my suggestions would be Chicago, San Francisco and NYC for reasons already mentioned by the others.

I haven't been to Seattle, New Orleans, and Miami. Those are the cities I want to visit next. But before those cities, I really, really want to visit Vancouver, British Columbia That place is like Hong Kong! Lots of Cantonese, mountains in the background, awesome weather, great urban area, relaxed atmosphere, Hollywood of the Northwest, etc.... It's really intriguing!!! One of these days..... :)

[thatgirl]

Seattle.

Kabayo...

you're just way too funny. Correction!!!! Chicago is a big city like New York and Los Angeles. Lots of things to do and places to go. You're talking about yung talagang provincia na sa sobrang layo na sa Chicago. True, walang makita kundi soybean farm at mabantot pa dahil sa mga baka.

Are you from Chicago?

[JDELEON]

According sa isang survey, eto daw ang 3 US cities na most visited by tourists:

San Francisco
Los Angeles
New York

you forgot Chicago

[NOKiE]

Though I would probably not choose any other spots aside from San Francisco Bay Area to live in, I must recommend at least a week's worth of New York City. That city has everything but the best weather, which SF Bay has.

[kartoonista]

I prefer San Francisco. Besides the fact na ang daming Noypis, ang daling mag-commute and everything's within walking distance. + the people there are really, really friendly (namana siguro sa courtesy and hospitality ng mga Noypis)! :D

oi vei!

not quite like HK. then again...:lol: we've also got Taiwanese (hey, they're touchy about the distinction!), and Japanese kids (some of whom look as if they just stepped out of an anime movie!):)

anyway (in no particular order):

Chicago
Boston
New Orleans

[seventeen]

we'll go there sa L.A. San Francisco, and Las Vegas, those 3 ok na yun diba? what do u think guys... =)

[f0r5aK3n]

oh here's a suggestion.... FlagStaff, AZ - Grand Canyon

Trust me, you WON'T REGRET VISITING! It's the most amazing, breathtaking place I've ever visited!!! My tiny mind couldn't comprehend the massiveness of the AREA!!!! I loved it soo much!

[tubby]

Washington DC

[VaMpeEh]

New York City :love:

Silicon Valley, where my baby is rt now *sigh*

[f0r5aK3n]

hmmm.. i wanna go to MaNiLa :eek:

[witty_gal]

I like the city where I can eat the famous Gray's Papaya!
New York, New York!:)

[mowry]

has to be NY, L.A., Minneapolis and Chicago....
sobrang i'd gladly go anytime given the budget and the preparations....

[artfuldodger]

If you like the mountains and skiing (and I definitely do), Aspen is the city to beat!

[sea sprite]

san francisco. been there and loved every minute of it. wouldn't mind going back.

[olivertravel]

Why does everyone feel some need to visit CITIES? Cities are everywhere... and make more pricey travelling than touring the countryside.

And Disneyland? Amusement parks, like Mickey Mouse, are also everywhere... how about some imagination, my friends?

How about renting a car and checking out the Big Sky of Montana or the mountains of West Virginia during the summer? Or getting the hell out of LA/San Fran when you fly in and drive up the Pacific Coast HWY 1? Or drive south and check out Baja Mexico? Or if you are your pinsan's in NY/NJ, take some extra time and see New England (or Pennsylvania if you don't have as much time) during the fall and see the leaves change colour?

Much more rewarding than some of that urban stuff. I speak as a native-born citizen of the US who has been fortunate enough to see a good deal of America.

Small towns are underated, but then so is actually travelling outside of a "packaged tour mentality"...

[Animo_Aguila]

Anchorage!!!!Fairbanks!!!

Wow i just love Alaska.......cool air,fresh green grass,ahhhhhhhhh the food(mmm salmon) wow,the glaciers..............the largest oil pipeline,hehehehe basta i love alaska.just 7 hours by plane from sf.

San francisco is Ok
LA......grabe crowded talaga
NY and Chicago....hmmmm same as LA

PINAS LANG SYEMPRE

it really depends on one's taste. if you're coming from small town of course you wanna visit big cities an vice versa. i came from a big city and i love visiting small quite and very charming small town.

[Miracle]

I was able to visit most of the cities in California back when I was there some 3 years ago. And I should say that I enjoyed that tremendously. :) I would love to go to New York and Chicago since I have some friends and relatives there as well.

[winterswirl]

San Francisco/Los Angeles
Chicago
New York


I have hella relatives in these cities :D haha...i have been to SanFo most of the time...and i love it coz i somehow know the place na and i have lots of friends from Manila (HS/ College) who lives there now :) Chicago coz it's less crowded compared to LA & SanFo...classy...but i don't think I can take the kind of weather they have..damn! :eek: EXTREMES!!! and New York is where I wanna study photography, designing, film-making etc...rather crowded but the place is "slammin" :D

[balut]

without a doubt you should go to Hawaii... paradise on earth.

i love anchorage too! it's so homey. everyone's so friendly... and you don't have heat as a problem! haha (duh?). it's the best. :)

[seventeen]

San Francisco! the best!
ganda sobra doon... hehehe, kaso ang lamig..!!! next time gusto ko naman sa NY!

[AyMakulit]

I'm from TEXAS so I'd have to say visit:

HOUSTON: to see NASA, the theme parks, the Med Center,etc.

AUSTIN: Live Music Capital of the World, 6th Street, the capitol, University of Texas (Yaay! That's the school i attend), Edwards Aquifer, etc!

Contrary to ppls belief, there are TONS of Asians in TEXAS, mostly in the Houston and Dallas area. People are totally friendly here and no, there are no tumble weeds or cowboys around!

[clawed_out]

seattle

portland

[Brad Pitt]

Texas, Louisiana or any state from the south discriminates against Asians pag hindi ka puti patay ka. It's not obvious pero mayroon pa rin. Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Seattle etc. is ideal for Pinoys. You are in the States pero parang nasa Manila pa rin. You can eat and enjoy things you did in Manila.
