Can someone tell me if this is a safe area to take the train to in brooklyn? -

I was suppose to take the Q train to parkside ave to see a girl that I talk to.me and her been talking for a while.after I take the Q train to parkside ave,I have to walk down ocean ave two blocks.her building is on ocean ave and crooke ave.my friend said not 2 go cause he heard the area is real bad.can anyone tell me if the area is bad and if I should go or not?

Go in a armored tank I tell you!!!Just kidding!I live in Brooklyn and as any area anywhere it can be dangerous but its not always so.If it was any other time of the year i would say go whenever you feel like.Around the holidays people with financial problems go nuts and hunt the streets.It s a ok area, its near a park so don t go there alone too late.Just be careful, don t stay out too late be sure to tell someone where your going to be incase anything ever happends (which it shouldn t- better safe than sorry,ya?)Hope you have a good meet with your lady friend

Driving and Drink if having a holiday in the U.S? -

Ok, since im an Australian citizen, and im 18, its legal for me to drive or drink. Im planning a holiday to the U.S next year, what happens then? Am I allowed to hire a rental car or buy alcohol over there or what?

nope ur not aloud to rent a car or drink..have to be 21 to purchase alcohol and 25 to rent a car in the US. you can drive though

Allowed to by alcohol? Nope.Allowed to rent a car? Yes BUT the rental agencies are also allowed to not rent to you. Most will not rent to anyone under 21. Some will rent to drivers under 25 but charge a crazy extra daily fee. You can rent a car at 18 in New York but again, it is so expensive as to be prohibitive.

You can drive if u have a license and proper insurance coverage but you can t drink until you are 21... and rent a car until 25... depending on where you are you can sneak down to Mexico with your passport and drink and party lol

my son is 22 yrs old he rented a car but they will charge you extra money cause you are under 25 yrs old, you are not allowed to drink here un the US you have to be 21 to drink and to buy alcohol

Moving to Washington state? -

I live in Michigan, 20 minutes from Detroit. I ve always wanted to live on the west coast so I plan to move when I m done with college. I was thinking somewhere in Clallam County. It seems to be the best area since I m trying to stay close to the Olympic National Park. Any suggestions?

Well, I live in Spokane and just moved here 8 months ago. Contrary to what that poster said about people not being friendly to outsiders, I have found the people in general to be very warm and welcoming. I love Washington, but would love to live in a small mountain town. But work, or lack there of, would be an issue. I don t know about the work situation in Seattle area, but Spokane is hurting big time. Be that as it may, it is beautiful here. Cmon out!

I personally don t like that area simply because I ve lived in hubs in Washington my entire life - Seattle and Olympia, etc. To be fair, if you live near Olympia or Tacoma everything in Western Washington is only 2 or 3 hours away at most.

If technical jobs are in your interest, the North West is very good, especially in the Seattle area. There is Boeing, Google and Microsoft and countless others. The climate is also very good, it is not to hot in the summer and not to cold in the winter.

Oregon is better. Washington is not rea friendly to outsiders moving in, whereas Oregonians welcome outsiders. Washington has adopted California s views on to many things, including thinking they are the best state and outsiders should stay outside.

forks, washington. vampires, *****! :3

Gig Harbor WA. You will just love it and it is close enough to Seattle to commute to a job there.

oregon is better

i was thinking the same thing, wisconsin. I was trying to laugh a little.

Questions about visiting Maui Island? -

While researching about Maui, some say stay at Kaanapali and others say stay at Kihei/Wailea. Now, I am a bit confused on how I should plan my trip. I have about 4 full days to spend apart from all the travel. The plan is to visit sometime during the last 2 weeks of March. This will be the first time me and my wife will be visiting any island in Hawaii. My ultimate goal is to make sure this trip will be one of the best experiences visiting an island. I have the following questions:(1) Which part of Maui do you recommend staying? Kaanappali or Kihei/Wailea or any other side? And what hotels do you recommend staying?(2) Within 4 days, is it possible to cover more than one side of the Maui island and still have time left to relax and enjoy the island? OR Do you recommend staying at just one side to enjoy the trip?(3) What do you recommend as far as visiting and in which order? I am sure there are a lot of places to visit. But given the limited time, how should one go about on the list of places to see and in which priority and still have time left to relax and enjoy the island?(4) Any other gotchas you recommend based on your travel experience?(5) Any places to avoid where there could be trouble for tourists?

there are quite a few sites that you can search that will likely show you great hotels at the best prices available. check out the website BookMe and you will be able to compare prices on all the reputable travel sites in just a couple minutes. it s very convenient and will save you a bunch of time and money. Also, make sure you buy them online... otherwise they charge much higher fees for phone orders. good luck.
