Vacation!?!?
this weekend is my first weekend since early january of 2006 where i haven't had an obligation to work. I did go out of town for a week last year for family reuinion, and in september i went on vacation to animefest in downtown dallas ^^ (woot for free 3 nights in a nice hotel)
so, this weekend to me is like a vacation since my new job worked its way into my weekday mornings and now i get to have a weekend like a normal person.
im going to work on the whole going out of town technicality of vacation soon, but for now my weekends off will be vacation enough for me
Forgot to mention that I've been in London, England for the last month. I'll be here until August and have lots of free time, so if any other London GotWooters maybe wanna meet up or chill then I'm totally cool with that!
If not, ignore this post~
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
I don't need to "go" on vacation. I'm on vacation whenever I'm at home.
heey, this thread has perfect timing!
i'm going to toronto for a couple of days this coming thursday
No immediate plans for a vacation yet, but I'm in the midst of planning for another trip to Tokyo this coming November. It's still early, but I need to make reservations at the inns soon.

it has been quite a while since I had a chance to post in this thread...
I'll be in Atlanta next weekend (thursday night the 19th thru Sunday), to do a job interview and staying in town for a little while afterwards to see the place (and save money on the flight back...)
At the end of the month I'll be going to Monterrey, Mexico, for a week. Any of Gotwoot's members from south of the border have any recommendations or sagely advice for the time down there?

Just got back from Gulf Shores, Alabama... Chillin' out on the beach for a week. Had a great time, I've got a few pics I'll get up into a gallery or something soon...
I live on Monterrey o_OOriginally Posted by masamuneehs
I don't usually go there... but if you like bars and all that be sure to visit "El Barrio Antiguo". It is full of them, and a lot of people visit them.
What else...? Dunno if you like nature... there are Las Grutas de Garcia, La Huasteca and several others.
EDIT:
Malls....
- Plaza Fiesta San Agustin (nearby Tunel de la Loma Larga)
- Galerias Monterrey (oldest mall, but still good)
- Galerias Valle Oriente (boring full of 'high-society', but has IMAX)

As I commented somewhere else, Im going to Japan. Actually, Im here already, at Tokyo. YAY YAY YAY YAY I already found like three six stories high buildings full of geekness... shame I dont watch anime anymore. Hah, ironies of life.
Im having a blast, at any rate, and will be moving to Kyoto tomorrow. See ya guys in a few weeks!
I'm going...no where. Life is depressing.
It's just so hard being oppressed by the glass ceiling. Well, unless you're a model minority.
I was supposed to go on a free trip to london for 5 weeks expensed by my company....
....but then I quit my job.

oh, i don't think you're crying much about it, assertn... you'll probably be able to afford a five week vacation of your own within a year or two...
thanks to Ryouga, I'll be sure to look up those locations. Also, my parents (in typical fashion) are all worried about what parts of town to avoid and crap like that (I'm more interested in the bars and clubs to be explored), so I suppose any sagely comments on that kind of stuff would be greatly appreciated...

In this site (spanish) you can look at several of the most popular bars and clubs from El Barrio Antiguo: http://www.bestday.com.mx/Monterrey/Vida_Nocturna/
Barrio Antiguo consists of about 5 or 6 'old style' streets (hence the name 'Old Neighborhood') which was turned into the perfect place for night life. Its besides "La MacroPlaza" which is one of the biggest 'parks' in the City.
Several museums and even "El Palacio de Gobierno" are here in the MacroPlaza, so it isn't easy to not spot.
Google Earth coordinates 25°39'57.36N 100°18'37.19O will let you see it from above and several pictures as well.
Just beware... seeing that it is a nightlife place a lot of 'Antialcholica' groups are nearby during late at night. Its police groups checking if you aren't drunk and driving through the city and such.
Let's see... another location you could visit is Parque Fundidora. It has Convention Center Cintermex (were videogame tournaments and anime conventions take place once in a while), several other locations are the Arena Monterrey, where concerts take place, El Paseo Santa Lucia (still in construction I think...) which is a 'park' that will unite MacroPlaza and Fundidora, plus Plaza Sesamo (Amusement Park based on Sesame Street) 25°40'25.57N 100°16'56.33O on Google Earth.
Now... places to avoid... hmmm....
The Center of Monterrey mostly. Besides MacroPlaza that is...
Its not that it is unsafe, but rather it is mostly unpleasant. There is almost no parking lots and thus you must move by foot, taxi or bus. Taxis ARE dangerous, especially for foreigners. Bus are annoying, and 90% of them drive like maniacs (and crash on a daily base). If you manage to find a parking lot, they usually charge 20 pesos (almost 2 dlls) per hour. And besides... apart from MacroPlaza and Barrio Antiguo... there is really not much to see in the Center of the City.
Do know that Monterrey isn't as big as you may think. Rather our 'Area Metropolitana' as we call it, consists of several cities that are so close together they almost seem like one. Examples are Monterrey, San Pedro, San Nicolas, Guadalupe, Santa Catarina and several others.
Oh yeah... another thing. We are currently passing through rains, so you must be careful whenever passing under bridges and everything, because they tend to flood.
Sights to see... hmmm El Puente Atirantado in San Pedro would make a nice postal... Oh yeah... Don't forget to at least take one picture of El Cerro de la Silla, although I don't recommed trying to visit it.
If I remember anything else before you begin your travel I'll post it.
A long drawn out post advertising the tourism credentials of your hometown?
Sorry, I don't think anyone is trying to go to Monterrey, Mexico.
For fuck's sake SK...
