East the ghetto south under development and round rock and hutto etc. I could explain it all to you if you wanted so could someone give me detail and 411 about San francisco and the districts and areas.

Which Southern California school do you think has the prettiest women? -

University of Southern CaliforniaUCLALoyola Marymount

I ve slept with girls/women from UCLA, USC, Loyola, Otis College Of Art And Design, Santa Monica College, LACC, Calstate Longbeach, and Fullerton. Overall: Best-looking white girls are at Loyola and USC; best looking Asians are at SMC and UCLA; best looking latinas at LACC and Fullerton; and the ones who were the most psychotic/freaky in the sack (for better or worse) were at Calstate Longbeach or Otis.Yes, I just generalized and categorized women, and will probably go to hell for this, and for my promiscuity/womanizing. I am aware, and have come to peace with it.

I used to work on the Westside, and we had architectural/construction customers at Loyola Marymount and UCLA, which I would rate in that order of pretty women. USC does have an excellent School of Dentistry that I would recommend to anybody with a dental plan or low budget.

Scripps College.California State U. at Long Beach.Santa Monica City College.

The University of Texas, of course! I know I ll get plenty of thumbs down for that. UC San Diego has the prettiest women.

Id say ucla but i m biased cuz i love the school. i m sure they other too have nice women too as in every college

UCLA, but then I haven t seen many LM ladies.

UCSB and Pepperdine in Malibu

How much spending money should I take to Maui for a couple? -

My boyfriend and I are going to Maui in January 2010, and I have been wondering what I should be prepared for. We are staying in a condo at kaanapali beach. Any helpful tips would be much appreciated!!!!! I can t wait to go

Recent Hawaii visitors from the US have reported spending less than similar tourists spent per day last year. This probably reflects more frugal habits on the part of tourists, but some prices are coming down. Per person per day, they report spending between $30 and $40 on food, about $15 or $20 on entertainment, $15 on transportation (which could include two or three people sharing an economy rental car, waiving insurance--though interisland fares can take you well above average), and about $15 or $20 a day on shopping.

you don t need any money. you can sleep on the beach or the streets for free. there are plenty of food in the garbage cans, especially the garbage bins outside restaurants and fast food placed. you can hitch hike to anywhere you want to go for free. Enjoy and have fun in paradise , you don t need money, it s free for you to enjoy!

Can t really answer that cause I don t know if you plan to shop, take excursions or just wander around. Food is about triple what it is in the states. Best to seek out the markets they set up once a week rather then shopping in tourist stores. Walk as much as possible because taxis are spendy.

Has anyone ever stayed at the Golden West Hotel in San Diego? -

How was it? I m visiting and I need a place to stay.

Dodgy. And more expensive than it really looks. You ll end up eating out on every meal since there is no kitchenette. The long term stayers buy their own microwave or hot plate and cause black out nearly every night right around 8-9:30 PM when they cook dinner (they have wiring issues there. The place was built in 1912 or so and is a historic building). The rooms haven t got any tv (if you buy your own you can get some good cable channels, tho. There s a big flat screen in the lobby that s almost always tuned to some action movie), or refrigerator or Wifi access. You have to pay $5 to activate the room phone to call out. The pay phones in the lobby are in claustrophobic booths you can hardly squeeze into (much less closing the door). No ice machine, tho some soda/coffee/candy vending machines in lobby area. No on-site laundry room either. There s a laundromat next door that s just as dodgy and costs at least $2.50 for a load. There s one elevator... with capacity for 3 skinny people. Most definitely for someone claustrophobic. The small rooms that go for $150/wk are really small. Just enough room for a twin bed, a sink, a chair, and a small dresser and that s it. You can sit on the bed and touch the dresser on the other side of the wall with your foot. No toilet in your room. Have to use communal toilet and bathroom/shower at the end of the hall.The large rooms that go for $190/wk are bigger and come with own bathroom. The only perk is the once a week maid service (to clean the room and give you fresh towels). Oh, and they have serious bug problem. Cockroaches everywhere along with bed bugs. The staff are nice, but they ve got some dodgy residents there, too. Bottom line: I wouldn t recommend it if you can find other place. If you ll be here for a week or more, try the Baltic Inn, Island Inn, J Street Inn (all three own by http://www.affordablehousingsd.com/balti�� ). They cost more on paper (around $165/wk), but they are clean, have on-site laundry, free Wifi access, cable tv, refrigerator, microwave, and much less dodgy residents. You ll end up paying less since you can cook in the room and keep stuff in fridge.If you plan on staying a month or longer, Arlington Hotel at 7th and G ( (619) 231-2385) is not bad, also.

I wanna live in the states ? -

I live in Europe(macedonia) u ve probably never even heard about it coz its such a stupid country.Anyway...i wanna move to the US. I hate it here,i hate it so much. But my parents dont wanna move right now,they say that our whole life is here.i would run away from home but ..i need visa :P I am totally leaving when im 18(im 15 right now) but i can t wait til than. i hate it here so much.please help me..what can i do?

Well I m 35 now and that is exactly how I used to feel (although I would have phrased it somewhat differently) when I was your age. I am in the US now and I have many perspectives on this. I want to first of all let you know that life here is not as easy nor rosy as you might think --- you will be an immigrant here with an accent in the US and you will not be living the kind of life that are projected on TV dramas and movies. I m saying this not to discourage you but to clarify a bit of realities you may not be aware of. If you want to still brave it and have an adventure, then I think you should have a solid plan before you come here.I am not very familiar with Macedonia, but I have heard that from various parts of the world including Eastern Europe, Russia, East and Southeast Asia, Africa, a sex traffic is a very common occurrence to the US. I have heard a couple of terrible stories and I am actually going to research about the topic for my final paper. (I am currently a graduate student.) In one case about a girl from Lithuania, she was told by a man who said that he could get a visa to the US cheaply for her, all for selling ice cream in the US, but later it turned out that she went missing. It is thought that she was probably sold into prostitution ring and neither her parents nor friends ever have heard from her again after she left for the US. So DO NOT BELIEVE in stories that are too good to be true. I think the best chance for you to come to the US and have a decent life is to come here on a student visa, like the previous answerer suggested. You will first need to save money for your school and living expenses for your first year in the US, and you need to show the money at the US Embassy to get the visa. It s expensive. So, if you are serious about this, this is what I suggest: you should stay in school in Macedonia, finish your college, and apply for a graduate school in the US. Even better, you should get not just college degree but a graduate degree (Masters) in Macedonia or nearby countries. That way, you will have a better chance of getting into a graduate school in the US with Masters --- with funding. That s the important part. Apply for a Ph.D. program, MA programs usually do not offer funding.All this may sound like a lot, but I know I m giving you a very solid advice here. You can do it if you set mind to it. Good luck!

The best way is a student visa BUT... the fees for foreigners is absolutely insane... I doubt you would have enough money to pay for it... especially in 3 years... most people HERE can t afford schooling as it is... let alone an additional 40,000 a year (yes it can be that high)... be patient... go to school there... and maybe you can find a job that will bring you over to the states... (you would need to find a profession that we are in short supply of or just be incredible in your field)

Don t worry about it till you re 18. Don t know about Macedonia (other than Philip and Alexander), but if it s similar to Greece you live in an awesome place. Enjoy it until it s time to go to college and apply for a student visa if you re still interested.

The United States is a very good place to live. You should visit US when you are 18. I have been to over 30 states and I love this place. I think you have to get a F1 visa. I don t really know what kind of visa you will need.

How much would the visa cost for a Brazilian to visit the US? -

Thanks! If you had a source I could check out that would be great.

Sorry, but Charlie is wrong. The visa application fee is standardized at $131 for each country on earth. However for certain countries a visa issue fee is levied. For Brazilian tourists (B-2) no additional fee is asked for; for Brazilian business travel (B-1 or B-1/2) the issuance fee would be $60 and the visa, if apporoved will cost $191.http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/recipr�� ..

The fee for a tourist visa to the U.S. is the same for anyone anywhere in the world. It is $131.00 usd. See site below.

Need A San Diego Hike? -

I want to go on a hike today but I need a 3-4 mile hike in San Diego. Any hike is good but it would also be good if it has a lot of nature and not a lot of elevation. Are there any good hikes like that???

Cuyamaca has great hikes (8 miles) If that is too far try the penaquitos Water fall trail (6miles) round trip. Haha if you are going I can meet ya there I live soo close to PQ And best of all there is only downhill and flat most of the way until you leave the waterfall.-http://maps.google.com/maps?sourceid=nav��If you do message me and give me a time so I can meet you.

There are several up at Daley Ranch in Escondido and the views are stunning. Take the I-15 to the El Norte Exit where you will see the signs to Daley Ranch. Turn left on La Honda Road and take it to the end, it dead ends at the Ranch. There is a sign post at the entry with all of the trails. Enjoy!
