Sydney. It's the most visited city in oz and it's a boring shythole for the most part. All the infrastructure looks old and decrepid, the public transport system is truly awful like something from a third world country.

Get to know your parents: you never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings: they're your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Enjoy your body: use it every way you can. Don't be afraid of it or of what other people think of it: it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.

My experience with Americans..
They are generally friendly to foreigners, but with the lingering feeling of them thinking they are superior to you and you are just a poor little foreigner in their 'amazing' country.
As a whole though, I find Australia much more friendly in regards to respect for other people. On public transport here, people generally let others go first and have some kind of system where a few people from each side enter in turns .. In America, it was just a 'phuck you everyone else, i wanna get in/out first'.

Slovakia-visited many cities,people very very rude,they ignore you on purpose and racist,capital really nice though.
Romania-depressing as fuk,soviet type blocks everywhere,thousands of stray dogs,gypsies,roads that were never meant for anything with wheels on.
Bulgaria-like Romania but people have worse attitude.What in other sports is called talent,in bodybuilding is called genetics.

There is a big misconception about LA. Many relate everything south of the Grapevine down to San Diego as all being LA. In general, many, not just foreigners but Americans as well think all Southern California is all LA. LA has something for everyone. It all depends on your taste. The one thing I despise about LA is the traffic. If you are a foreigner and want to get around the LA, good luck. In some areas it takes me an hour to cover less than 10 miles,lol. In the LA area, I find Hollywood people to be friendly towards foreigners. Beverly Hills, Santa Monica are filled with jerks. Unlike the movies, there is no nice looking hookers willing to give you directions.
I agree with the Italian and Sicilian remark. Went to Northern Italy and Southern Italy. People are rude in the tourist areas. I think the locals are fed up with tourist and just ignore them. If you go to the non tourist areas, people tend to be much friendlier. I was surprise to find out many in Italy also speak Spanish and French in Northern Italy. Northern Italy is much cleaner than Southern Italy.

This.avoid Slovak Republic if you ever wanted to visit it too.I don't know if communism turned them this way or they always have been like this.worse thing is that know they made some money and they treat you like the shi* they used to be.
I asked where the center was and got laughed at!What in other sports is called talent,in bodybuilding is called genetics.

^ totally agree, as being part Italian, no one would advise you to visit actually now
It used to be better, now the North is still ok, but no one in my family would visit the south, the mafia controls everything, from the local shops to the junk / recycling / treatment industries, they're literally the 1st employer in some cities
Too many beggars, gypsies, tourists get overpriced everything...
If you want to visit Italy, go see the main monuments, then get the heck out of there, that's what happens when ALL the country runs on tourism, France comes as a close 2nd
