LIVING IN NY! :) How is it? -

Is 2400 dollars per month enough to live there? like food and rent and stuff? im moving there from portugal in three years, so I need some information. Is there anything i would like to know ?

EXPENSIVE. It costs less to live almost anywhere else. Get ready to be treated like an animal by our politicians. It makes people elsewhere think they re taming us savage beasts, which is how many outside of the city perceive us. Cases in Point, Rudy Guiliani and Bloomberg. Get ready to pay tons of taxes. Most of that money will go upstate or to support other areas of the country. Very little of it comes back here. Get ready to be lied to. When the oil prices went up, we were told, just use the trains and buses. Don t worry, if it gets crowded we ll put more. They put LESS and are now cutting them down more. It s like the rush hour at 2PM and the same at 2AM. Complain about what everything costs? Both Rudy and Bloomberg have told us if we can t afford to live here, MOVE.So, if you like a slap in the face with your reality, then this is the place. And it ll be like this for as long as you live here. Me? I m moving ASAP.2400 a month? Try and get a cheap apartment. You should pay no more than a weeks pay on monthly rent. Otherwise you will not have enough to get by.

haha kid ur probably gonna attacked by a gang because they like to target u foreign immigrants and taxi cabs drivers will trick u just to get more money. stay in europe hun new york is dangerous and too me i wouldnt want to live there. i dont know why u would but w/e....europeans are obsessed with america so i cant change your views

Im desperate here! I need a way to get my two guinea pigs from Sacramento, CA to Fayetteville, NC.? -

I moved across the country last October, and I would highly prefer air travel, but with all the research I ve done, there aren t any guinea pig friendly airlines that wouldn t just stick them in cargo (TOTALLY unsafe!). They ve been at a friend s for 2 months now, and I just hate to keep my friend responsible for them. I miss them so much and just want them home with me, can ANYONE help me out? :(

I have the perfect answer for you. Go to www.Uship.com and post your request for a driver to transport your guinea pigs and people will bid on the job like Ebay. It will explain how you do that. You can also look up drivers who transport animals and who are going that way on compatible dates. Your listing will include details about the route and how much you are willing to pay. It is a reliable way to get the right person because each driver has information and feedback about themselves like Ebay. It is legitimate. I have move furniture across states that way.

My best suggestion would be to use a company called Pet Air. They ve been in business 33 years and serve your local airport. Your friend would just simply have to take you little guinea pigs to the Sacramento(SMF) airport. You can make a reservation online. I am really not sure what the rates are but here s a link to their website: http://www.flypets.com/default.asp Their phone number is: 816-471-3852Good luck!

If the cost to transport them is worthwhile for you then I would fly them for the fastest method of transportation. Kalita Air transports horses, maybe they will fly your guinea pigs.

wear a big coat and stick em in your pockets. Once you re on the plane, it doesn t matter if they squeak because it s so loud no one notices. There s plenty of ways you can sneak them in.

you could drive, or you could go to a vet and ask what to do. they have probably have the answers!! i reallllly hope it works (:

you can buy special little motorbikes now, but they would have to get a licence i expect

i ll take two tickets for the guinea pig express, please!hope this helps.

Hide em in your doop shoot.

call a local animal control shelter and get advice! they will know how to d othis

What are some unusual or unique places to visit in San Francisco? -

Instead of the same ole tourist stops in San Francisco, what are some places that are strange, unusual, unique, or quirky that should be visited while in San Francisco. Please share your picks and tell what makes them different from the more well-known San Francisco landmarks or places.

Audium on Bush near Franklin - A light and sound show that will recall the 1960 s trippy music scene.The Cartoon Art Museum Mission near 2nd the only Museum in the world dedicated to the preservation and promotion of graphic arts.

There are a few unusual places in San Francisco. I found these places because I have relatives that live in San Francisco and they knew about them and my cousins took me to them. One of them is Paxton Gate, which is a specialty store. It has exotic plants, skull bones, plenty of taxidermied animals on display, gems and minerals, and fossils. Here is a website to the store for more information:http://www.paxtongate.comI ll call this one a unique place. It s called BrainWash, a place where you can wash your clothes and have a drink. They serve food, too. The sandwiches are good. It s located on Folsom Street.At Pier 45, you ll find Musee Mechanique, which has an extenstive arcade and musical instrument collection. There are slot machines, as well. Be sure to take quarters with you because you ll have to put them in the machines to hear and watch them. This place is plenty of fun. Another unusual place is Botanica Yoruba. It s located on Valencia Street. They do psychic readings here and have plenty of incense, herbs, oils, and candles for sale. Have fun if you explore any of these places!

North Beach- home of the Beat Generation, San Francisco s Little Italy and the city s strip club mecca.Established during the Barbary Coast days of the Gold Rush (1848-1858), North Beach actually was a beach. Originally, the city s northeast shoreline extended only to what is today Taylor and Francisco streets.It was filled with soil and landfill after the 1906 earthquake and fires. Which oddly enough, didn t destroy much of Little Italy; according to legend, some enterprising residents cracked open the barrels of red wine in their cellars and saved their houses from the fires by draping them with wine-soaked blankets.Today North Beach is home of some of the best food, entertainment, culture, and also the first espresso house to serve an Italian espresso in America, Caffe Trieste.Coit Tower was built atop Telegraph Hill in San Francisco s Pioneer Park, in 1933 at the bequest of Lillie Hitchcock Coit to beautify the City of San Francisco. Lillie bequeathed one-third of her estate to the City of San Francisco to be expended in an appropriate manner for the purpose of adding to the beauty of the city which I have always loved. The tower offers fantastic views of San Francisco including the Golden Gate Bridge, the San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park ( Aquatic Park ), Alcatraz, Pier 39, Angel Island, Treasure Island, the Bay Bridge, Russian Hill, the Financial District, Lombard Street, and Nob Hill.Coit Tower Hours / Admission Prices:To go upstairs and to see locally made artists muralsHours: 10am - 5pm Daily$4.50 Adults$3.50 Seniors 65+$2.00 Children 6-12Children under 6 are freeWant more visit

http://www.yelp.com/biz/sam-wo-restauran��A very skinny restaurant in a tiny skinny building that has dining on the floors above. You enter through the kitchen and walk upstairs to the dining area. Try it.We haven t gone there in years although I used to go there for lunch when we were in Chinatown.I m sad to hear that the funny lady waitress is no longer there. I remember eating at Sam Wo in Chinatown, ordering tomato chow mein panfried and as she layed the plate on the table, she told me (English with a Chinese accent) that this is my spaghetti. A Caucasian man sat down at a small very old table across from us and proceeded to pull the table closer to him and she yelled at him and asked him if he didn t notice that the table is very old and not sturdy. (The legs were was wired together if I recall correctly -- fixed by somebody who was not a carpenter.) By pulling the table up to him, the customer would break the table, she said. The man did not react. I guess he was accustomed to her rants. Another couple started to go up to another level and she yelled at them. We couldn t stop laughing the whole time we were there.

What is Waco, Texas like to live in? -

I may be checking out a job possibility there and I was wondering about how different it would be from life in Massachusetts. I love gardening and the outdoors so I thought it would be a good move considering all outside plant life is dead for 4 or 5 months here. I was also wondering about how religious people are there since I don t really like religion of any sort.

Waco is a nice town, it is large enough to have most of what you need, but is not a big city.There is a good college in town so you can watch big time college sports.The country side is near by if you like to get out of town.You can garden most of the year, it is nothing like Massachusetts, Texas does not have a long hard winter.There are many religious people since the school is Baptist, but there are other religions too.I don t think anyone is going to pressure you into being religious so if you don t want to go to church no one is going to make you attend.You should visit for a week or so to see what things are like, rather than making a decision without first hand information.

It is pretty beautiful! I don t live there but I visit my cousins there. They say it is a good place to raise a family. If you want to find out more go to city-data.com. Good Luck!

That s not really a travel question, but I d bet you could find the answer by going to the History Channel s website and looking for local stations.

I have Comcast Cable and live in Sandy Springs and the history channel is on channel 52 for me.

What is a good part of Hawii to live? -

when i say good i mean a part that is not secluded.

On Oahu, the only place that s secluded is the North Shore. That leaves you with a lot of options.

Im not being jerk but its not really good place to live. Im staying oahu and i think its boring! Hawaiin culture is AMAZING! the loose, dress, language pretty interesting and nature of course except that theres nothing to do, nothing is interesting, people are mean, they are unhappy, they smokes everywhere! They dont like new things, they dont know wat is unconditional, they like to stereotype u like ohhh ur japanese? u shul be this and that bla bla. Today somebody said if i from bla bla its not true cause they dont wear 80 s glass or somethingand i told him I DONT CARE what bla bla Country people wear i like my own!it sucks basically

Honolulu!! hahah. my aunt lives there. it s ahh-mazingg.

Manoa :D

Disney world souveniors? -

Is it cheaper to buy souveniors in downtown disney than it is in the theme parks or shall we go outside to buy souveniors all together?

It depends what you want and what store you go into. Downtown Disney is a part of Disney, so the prices will pretty much be about the same, but not always. I ve gotten a light up toy for my little brother cheaper at Downtown Disney than in the actual park. Downtown Disney also has a $5 and under store... theres not much in there, but its still cheap. The little disney stores you will find along the roads and on international drive are much cheaper! a lot of the items do have a poorer quality, but not always. Iv e bought a really nice, warm jacket from a local disney shop. I actually like it better than the one I bought in the park. Disney is way overpriced on many of their items. If you see something in the park you like, Id say look around. dont buy it right away. reason being: you might see it cheaper in another store in the park, or a different park. It might be cheaper in Downtown Disney or it might be a different color/size/variety at a local disney store. figure out what you would want to bring home with you and look around before you buy the first item.sorry if thats confusing- email me if you want a better explanation.

The prices are the same everywhere. Buy in the theme parks. And if you are staying on Disney property, you can have them sent back to your resort. If you go off property, you can find may at varying prices, but they wont be the same, most I ve seen outside of Disney were cheap junk. For example, I saw a Mickey T-shirt for $10 less than in the parks, but is was very thin and it faded and stretched out after one or two washings.

since downtown disney is part of disney world and on property it will cost you the same amount for souvenirs as it would if you bought them in one of the theme parks or at one of the hotel gift shops. if you want cheap souvenirs then you ll have to go off disney world property to find them. from my experience though items bought off disney property are of poor quality. if you really want the souvenir such as a hooded sweatshirt to last a life time you ll want to get it in disney world.

It s cheaper to get them in those little souvenir shops you see everywhere around Orlando. I ve learned from experience :)

What is motorcycle toll for holland tunnel and licoln tunnel ny? -

motorcycle toll

Check out public transportation like buses and trains and ferries. Maybe there is a cheaper way.Maybe renting in NYC would be easier and cheaper.

The air quality in the tunnels is very bad due to the exhaust from all the cars. Cars normally keep their windows closed to keep the air from the tunnel out of the car. Riding a motorcycle in the tunnel, and breathing in the tunnel air, might be bad for your health.

Off peak $5Peak $7This tolls applies to both the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels.Good luck

Shipping a horse to California, then to Hawaii? -

I would like to hear from someone that s gone through the process. Here is what I would like to get as a rough estimate for the following:1. Shipping ONE horse from KY to CA. 2. Shipping ONE horse from CA to HI (about 1300, I ve found)3. Shipping horse to Maui from Honolulu.Any hidden fees? I am guessing about 1000ish for KY to CA, 1300 for a boat ride to Hawaii, and maybe 300-500 for the transportation from Honolulu quarantine? Does the quarantine cost anything? Please help I am very serious about this....

Your situation is a bit different than mine, because Hawaii has a mandated 30 day rabies quarantine. Normally, you wouldn t have to go through quarantine between locations within the US. I can tell you that the approximate one-week quarantine in Florida (for horses entering the country) the cost runs between $1500 - $3500. There is a daily board fee, but you also have to pay any vet expenses if the horse needs to be looked at for anything. Those are generally expensive and you are at the mercy of the facility.You should be able to choose from more than one certified quarantine facility. Do your research on what the options are. Not all quarantine facilities give the horses time outside of a small stall, so if it is going to be a 30-day stay, you might want to consider someplace where the horse will get some exercise.

Call shipping companies who have experience with live animals only. Talk to people who have animals in HI and see who they suggest and why. There are ALWAYS hidden fees.

FYI, I believe there s a max quarantine of 5 days.
