RL, you took to long smh


So let's say that I a foreign friend or acquaintance came to your city, and asked you for a tour of the place. You're feeling good, so you decide why the hell not. Keep in mind, though, that this is your tour, so you get to decide where to go, and whatnot. Where do you take the tourist, and why?
he did it, not me.

I'll take said person three places: the mall, the bowling alley, and Wal-Mart. Because that's all there is here in this stupid town in terms of cool places, unfortunately. xD

I would point out where all my friends live and the places where I frequent. I frequent the mall, the beach, the swimming pool, the candy store, and various fast food joints. I'll also show them the park, including the place between two trees where a HUGE spider crawled on my friend Tom's head. (You should have seen him scream.) It looked something like this: http://www.alabasterbox.com/aussiejoyslife/wp-content/uploads/image-import/_iXm21lch20g/Si1UnsS_fmI/AAAAAAAAAuM/937rP5NzQhk/s1600-h/Huge_Australian_spider_image.JPG

(If you want, I'll let you keep a giant spider as a souvenir. If you like giant spiders, my neighbourhood is the right place for you.)

I'll take them to a local restaurant in town if I had the money, then definitely to the mall, and then how to get to their hotel if they came around. And if they asked about where to get to another place, I'd show them.

I'll take em to all the cool places, enjoy a couple of underground concerts and just hang out watching babes pass by. Nothing else to see, despite all the cultural stuff around here.

My neighborhood is kind of boring (and by neighborhood I mean the part of the city I live in) , so I'll just give a tour of my city (much more exciting) but there's a few restaurants I'd take them too. One being this deli called Mackland's Deli which makes some delicious sandwiches. There's also a place called Noodles and Company (it's not a local restaurant, but I'm not sure how many people have heard of it) which has some really good udon noodles and a lot of other types of noodles , sandwiches and soups. Most of their pasta come vegetarian so if you're a veggie, we'd go there over Mackland Deli. Though one place we'd definitely go is a local famous (or famous in my area at least) is a frozen custard/ice cream shop called Ted Drewes and they have delicious ice cream and frozen custard and is a St.Louis favorite so I feel obliged to any visitor's there. I'd likely take them to more free places though since I'm usually broke lol. But there's a good amount of free attractions here such as our zoo, our parks, art museum , history museum and the science museum also known as St.Louis Science Center so we could just have fun just going to those. And if had more money we'd go somewhere called the City Museum. The best I can describe the City Museum is "climbable art". It's a giant playground/museum filled with structures made of repurposed architecture and industrial objects and art. The whole museum is full of things that you can touch, climb on and play in and it's one of the funnest places ever in my city. It's pretty much an industrial playground and I still love going even at 21. So if I can afford two tickets, we'll go for sure cause it's so! And maybe even the nearest mall too if I can afford more lol.

Can I take them out of my city? D: Honestly, there's nothing interesting in my hometown. All the interesting stuff is about 30 minutes to an hour away ;-; There's nothing noteworthy except for maybe the dinky castle on the edge of the city limits...Possibly one or two local restaurants as well, but definitely nothing spectacular.

I would definitely take them to Alton Towers 'cause I live pretty close to it. I'd also take them to the big park with the ducks and massive things to play on. I only live like 10mins away from it. Then I'd take them to Trentham Gardens because I live like 5 mins away from there. I'd go into the actual gardens and take them on the barefoot walk, maybe go when there is a concert on and deffo take them through the monkey forest! Yeah... You any really get bored where I live.

I'd take them to my home, because from the balcony you can see the whole lake and mountains ( one in particular is called Napoleon's Nose by the people around here ).
Then I'd take them to the myriad of forts/castles/towers ( some of which house little museums inside them ) that can be found in many towns by the lake.
In the evening, I'd have a walk with them on the lakeside, to appreciate the landscape and the relaxing effect it can give you.
If it was winter, we could go hiking on the mountains northeast of here, and even go skiing/snowboarding; if it was summer, I'd take them to one of the three amusement parks we have here, probably the aqua park.
At night, we could go snooping around for clubs and check how many attractive human specimens there are ( many! ).
I could also offer them a thermal bath in a spa nearby.
We could take a ship and visit the other side of the lake, which is another region entirely, or go to the city, and visit the Arena and other popular places such as the well of love and Romeo's and Juliet's houses.

There's nothing interesting about my neighborhood, but here we go anyway...

My village is kinda like the white-picket fenced 1950's suburbs -- except the fact that nobody has white picket fences and the architecture here is more contemporary than suburbia. So, I'd probably first give them a tour of the various homes around my village.

Next up is the downtown area. It doesn't have high-rises and stuff like that, but it does have aspects of city life in it. Tbh, the only attraction we do have in this downtown area is this big mall, so that's where we're going next. (There's also a bunch of cafes and restaurants hanging by, such as Starbucks, McDonald's etc the rest is in the mall)

Then we would get out of my neighborhood because there's nothing much to do here.

there is no fire like passion
