Is redmond, wa a good place to live? -

Is it safe, good commutes, communities, schools and parks or theaters or other things to do

Yes, Redmond is very nice. Most people are very friendly, and it is extremely safe, but like any other city, there are occasional crimes, but as crimes , it s more like vandalism and stuff like that. The Redmond schools (Lake Washington school District or LWSD) are excellent, with good test scores, and good teachers. there are many things to do, but obviously not as much as Seattle. There s malls, skate parks, public parks, and movie theaters. It s about 30 minutes away from Seattle, and 10-20 minutes to Bellevue, depending on where you live in Redmond. Bellevue and seattle have more things to do then Redmond, because they are larger cites. Overall, redmond covers all of the criteria that you are looking for. :)

I live in seattle and it s kind of gay (school wise). I m sure Redmond is great. I would imagine Microsoft brings in plenty of money over there.

Seattle is better

Ask yourself if waing is what you really have your self set on by a good place

What and where to go in san fransico for the weekend? -

places to go and things to do.

Without knowing what your interests are the following list should give you some good ideas.Must Do San Francisco1. Ride a Cable Car, the only moving historical landmark in the world. Stop off at the Cable Car Barn at Washington and Mason to get a full understanding of this unique form of transportation. Riding the Powell Hyde line will allow you to see Lombard Street the famous crooked street.2. Visit Alcatraz, this former prison is the most popular destination in San Francisco. The bay cruise to and from the island will give you the opportunity to see the skyline from the water a unique perspective. During the height of tourist season it is wise to purchase tickets before you arrive as tours are often sold out days to a week in advance.http://www.alcatrazcruises.com3. Visit Coit Tower, Beautiful murals inside, impressive bay view from the tower or Pioneer Park at the base. Then descend Telegraph hill via the Filbert Steps on the East side of the park for a unique view of how folks on Telegraph Hill live, more beautiful bay views and the chance to hear and see the famous Parrots of Telegraph Hill.4. Golden Gate Bridge, not just a feat of engineering, this 1.7 mile span offers incredible views of The City, the bay and the Pacific ocean. Be sure to visit Ft. Point under the bridge for a different view of this San Francisco Icon.5. Explore Golden Gate Park, this large urban park can consume a whole day. The New Academy Science, Japanese Tea Garden, Deyoung Museum [American Art], the Arboretum, Bison Paddock, and Paddle boats are all worth a look and watch the sun go down over the Pacific over a drink or dinner at the Beach Chalet.6. Chinatown, the most densely populated portion of San Francisco offers the largest Chinese center for shopping, food and unique architecture found outside of Asia. The best place to buy souvenirs to take home to friends and family.7. North Beach, traditionally the Italian section of the city which has no beach but abounds in quaint shops, great restaurants and The City��s best coffee options. 8. Civic Center, the largest collection of Beaux Arts buildings in the US. Home to San Francisco City Hall, with a dome larger than the US Capital, the Asian Art Museum and the Modern San Francisco Library with its San Francisco History Room housing an eclectic collection of city artifacts and photographs.9. Buena Vista Gardens, this urban park is home to; the Museum of Modern Art the Museum of The African Diaspora, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Contemporary Jewish Museum, Cartoon Art Museum and the Metreon will keep you entertained for hours.10. Twin Peaks, see The City and the bay spread out at your feet. Especially captivating at night when the lights seem to go on for ever.

Hi there,I believe most attractions and things to do have been well mentioned here by both members. SF is well known for its diversity. Taking that into consideration, u might want to include some of the interesting cultural elements to make your visit more meaningful. Take a day to tour San Francisco s rich African American heritage or Asian or even the the City��s rich Latino heritage will leave you to understand more about other cultural meaning and for you to appreciate our own. Whatever visits you are taking, make sure that it leaves a memorable and meaningful day for you. These websites might help you further to discover the beauty and value of San Francisco. Enjoy!http://www.onlyinsanfrancisco.com/, http://www.holidaycityflash.com/usa/sanf��

*_~ So glad that you re considering San Francisco for your vacation.Try to stay in Union Square. http://www.unionsquareshop.com/ When you arrive at the airport, take the SFO air train that goes around the airport, then you��ll get off when you see Bart, take Bart to Powell Station (should be about $6-9 and it takes 20 mins ) that��s Union Square. http://www.bart.gov/ for schedule..I just love the weather and the diverse culture here!! Traffic can be hectic but still bearable. Public transport is great! You can always take Bart, ferries, bus, taxi or cable car etc. However, if you don��t have much time or want to travel beyond the city �C I think a car would help a lot. Yes, you have to pay for parking, but save you time to go more places faster.. Try the ��City Sightseeing Open Top Bus Tour�� which is about $30. ��This unique open-topped bus tour of San Francisco includes four different routes, the Downtown Loop, the Golden Gate Loop, the Park Loop, and the Night Loop.�� You re free to hop on and off as often as you want on the downtown loop.Embarcadero is wicked nice, and it s not THAT far, so you could really just walk down it to the Ferry Building. http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/ On Saturdays they do a nice farmer s market and you can get lots of good stuff. Walk down to Pier 39.GET THE San Franciso POPOUT Maps�� I loves these POPOUT map- you get to see where you are- =) No Thinking required, especially on vacation. (Look at the pictures.)I have about 20 of these map of different cities.. It was so useful when I was in Europe!

What to do in Disneyland California? -

I m 16 and going to Disneyland this December. We re staying a the Disneyland Hotel for 4 days. What rides and events would you recommend to do! i like pretty exciting rides! Which rides were your favourite?

Ah, from the UK are we?Don t miss:Indiana Jones AdventureStar ToursSpace MountainBig Thunder MountainReally fun: Haunted Mansion with Nightmare Before Christmas overlayPirates of the Caribbean (yo ho!)It s a Small World Holiday (cutesy, but classic)At California Adventure:Soarin Over CaliforniaCalifornia Screamin Hollywood Tower of TerrorDon t miss the Holiday Christmas Parade, or the fireworks. Please don t laugh at the fake snow at the end. It looks pretty, and it s the closest that most locals will come to snow.Great places to eat include Storyteller Cafe inside the Grand Californian Hotel, Blue Bayou inside the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride. Other good places include Carnation Cafe, Cafe Orleans, or the Plaza Inn inside Disneyland.

OOH! i love disneyland!my favorite rides are definitely the tower of terror, space mountain, mulholland madness, and california screamin . and of course the spinning teacups are a childhood classic :] the lights parade is always pretty cool too, and if you like to get wet there s the rushin river ride. also food within the park is way overpriced, but if you re going to eat in there there s an outer-space themed restaurant that s really good.

if you are there for 4 days you can see everything more than once. if you are looking for exciting rides , there arn t too many at disneyland. they do have the log ride, madahorn, and a couple other somewhat fast rides, but it s not a theme park like knotts berry farm or six flags. it s more of a disney theme.

im going in december also. the best rides are california screamin, tower of terror, space mountain, indiana jones and grizzly river. But i love every single ride

have lots of fun.

Try to ride all the big ones, see some shows, eat some cotton candy and have fun!
