Please dont call a visit to London, "doing Europe". London is still one of the largest cities in the world... ahead of a lot of those in "the states" :P

Wait, what? Polite driving and Los Angeles in the same sentence? Honestly, you need to drive in other cities in the US for more perspective. Among other cities in which i've lived, LA comes near the bottom when it comes to courtesy on the road.

My mother, visiting from Melbourne, Australia last year, delighted in of all things, the manners of drivers in Los Angeles. "They let people in here..." she commented (on that and everything else). Pretty funny. Not that she could ever live here, she also said. (She comes from a city with practically the worst or rudest drivers on earth, however, in my opinion)

All the more reason not to travel to Europe, which is a bit overrated. I say we all spend our travel dollars here in the Americas! If you want to see old Baroque cathedrals, go to Guanjuato, Mexico. If you want good Italian food and uppity people, go to Argentina. And if it's pole dancing lessons you need, well look no further than right here in Los Angeles (www.sfactor.com).
