I just visited Mexico, Tijuana. It was a nice tour arranged by some people at the hostel I was staying. There were 21 of us. The first thing I noticed where the number of pharmacies where you could buy your medicines. There were multiple pharmacies in every street. Apparently in Mexico you can get a lot of drugs without recipe and a lot of Americans make use of this.
The rest of Tijuana was one big tourist trap. I didn’t like it so much.
Alien vs. Predator sucks big time!
:-D
Today I did a tour over an aircraft carrier that was docked here in the harbor of San Diego. On the aircraft carrier they had constructed a very big stage. After informing about the stage I was told that there would be a concert tonight by the Goo Goo Dolls. Sadly it is for some private party and I was unable to arrange a ticket, but still I think I’ll pass by the docks tonight to see if I can enjoy a little of the concert.
Update: Okay, the Goo Goo Dolls are okay, but the gross of their songs is just regular. They only have one good song and this song is what made them famous. It did sound very good being played on a massive boat.
In the hostel I’m staying at now there is also a Czech girl and she was not impresses by my pronunciation of bollost’. :-(
Now I did learn that in the Czech republic they also have a tolerant approach to some soft drugs. Just like there is a place in Denmark where according to some Danish person you can get all the drugs known to man.
I just keep thinking about this theme… ever since I left Vegas. It is even starting to frustrate me. I keep thinking about the influence time has in playing a slot machine… meaning that the result of a game will be identical if you play now or just wait 5 minutes and then plays. It the slot machine uses the time as some variable the result will be different, but still….
Even if someone claims time does have an effect, it will be impossible to prove.
I’ve got it!!!

I have arrived in the Gaslight district of San Diego. I’m staying in a little hostel where some great music is sounding in the halls.
Of course I had trouble finding the place and I ended up at some weird national park. It was the weirdest national park I have ever seen…. the place where the first European sailors set foot on the continent, but the coastline near Noordwijk/Wassenaar/Scheveningen is more interesting.
Today I visited the Joshua Tree national park. I didn’t have any idea on what to expect, and I thought it would be just one single big special tree just like on the cover of the leaflet I had.
I was all wrong. The park is absolutely filled with trees, a kind of which I have a very small version at home, which used to live in my parents garden and long before that in the garden of some stranger.
It was a really nice park and the only bad thing was that I could hardly get out of the car. It was so very hot it was unreal.
Update: After a little break I went to the same park again, but this time in the evening. I was the only tourist there and it was a great sensation driving around with loud Russian musical beats. (Tatu, the kamp-cd)
When the temperature is not deadly and can be supported Joshua Tree is a very beautiful park.
I really liked my visit to Las Vegas and I’m sad to leave the city but I must continue my trip. Outside it was always so hot but even in the heat there was always a lot of entertainment. There were lights everywhere (especially at night), the lantern poles were outfitted with little humidifiers that sprayed perfumed water into the air that causes a very nice refreshing sensation, everywhere there was music being played and there were a lot of really nice free shows to enjoy.
Inside the casinos it was always nice and cool. The gambling machines produce sound and lights that just somehow make you happy and the enormous amount of machines just make you want to play. There are people everywhere spending their money on the machines. In addition to the slot machines and gambling tables there is however much more to be experienced.
In one casino they had recreated a part of Venice, complete with rivers and little gondoliers that transported the guests through the casino. Another casino was inspired by Paris with a huge Eiffel-tower outside that continued on the inside of the casino which resembles a big French square, with the only difference being a thick carpet everywhere and of course all the gambling machines.
I have re-evaluated my opinion about Germans and radically changed my mind. All because of two German au-pairs who work in New York but were now celebrating their holidays in Sin City and in Los Angeles.
One of the au-pairs was in charge of an 11 year old boy and his 17 year old brother. This must be a very difficult situation controlling his hormones for the poor 17 year old boy.
