Some great pics on this thread. I've got to get a photo bucket somewhere so I can show you Colorado Springs, but until then, check this out. Colorado Springs Don't miss the photos of Garden of the Gods. It's a city park and one of the most amazing places I've ever been. If you think city parks are all grass and benches, take a peak at something unusual
The first year or two that I was living here, before MS, Sunday mornings in the winter I used to go sit in the snow and meditate at the Garden. (I had all weather gear). To watch the sun come up there is to be at peace with the universe.
Victoria, British Columbia...my home town! The Legislative Building (nightly view) The Inner Harbour (dayview) The Inner Harbour (Night View) The Buchart Gardens Part of the Buchart Gardens Another part of the Buchart Gardens I'll post more on the next "reply" lol
Victoria, British Columbia...my home town! Part 2 (last part) Downtown Victoria. Ooh, buildings are tall! ^_^ Chinatown. Carraige Rides are popular here, and the views are spectacular around the spring and summer! Welcome, one and all, to THE UNIVERSITY OF VICTORIA! (UVic) UVic is famous for the bunnies! ^3^ Parts of UVic campus Swartz Bay Terminal (Victoria), located right near the Pacific Ocean where passengers can get on and off Vancouver Island and go to the Mainland,Tsawassen (Vancouver) or other destinations located up in the Northern Region, to other areas of Central-Northern Vancouver Island. The Swartz Bay to Tsawassen route is MOST popular, frequent, and expensive. More of Swartz Bay. Don't be fooled by the looks on the ships..they're huge! This ferry is on its way to Tsawassen..the journey from Swartz Bay to Tsawassen is approximately 1 hour and 35 minutes, including docking procedure, and departures. Another picture at Swartz Bay. If you picture yourself here, the ships would be much bigger than you think. It's HUGE! This is the tourism video for Victoria. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxqCfbRuRUs
Question for Christine Are the Swiss open minded towards Iinter-racial relationships? and how many interracial relationships do you know of in Switzerland? By the way how do you upload all of these big pictures? I am getting trouble with that.
I cannot tell you, how 7.5 Mio people think, but I can tell you that nobody seems to be interested in attacking or noticing them, we all have to earn money,take care of our own lifes and families, why should I care about neighbours or people on the street, it is wasting of time and energy. In Switzerland all is a question of money, not race, colour,age,gender or whatever.. Man from DRC- woman from Switzerland Man from Cameroon- woman from Germany Man South-African/swiss-woman from France Man from Nigeria- woman from Poland Man from Namibia-woman from Germany Woman from Uganda- Man from Switzerland Woman from DRC-Man from France Woman from DRC-Man from Germany......... you have to join "imageshack" or "photobucket", upload your pics there and use the direct link in your post here..
it is indeed a great country. It is small, within three hours you go from Zürich to Lugano or Geneve or Chur (where you find the small villages like Davos). The different influences of Germany, Italy or France, not only in language, also in architecture and mentality is amazing. The huge amount of different nationalities, the strict policies to integrate and to support the weakest is impressive. Everything is very clean and high-level, the criminal rate is very low, unemployment rate is around 2,9%. And you know, busy people have no time to do or think bs, they are tired at evening.,,lol What you need to like is antique buildings..many of our buildings are 700/800 yrs old...top renovated, but still.... The only negative thing is that it's very expensive for tourists. Luzern- Gstaad Basel

Los Angeles! the street i grew up off of The Dunbar Hotel. Back in the day, this is where all the great African-American performers stayed at, because they weren't allowed to stay at other hotels. Oh that is a MESS. It was once LA's most prestigious hotel for the African-American community. In the 1930s-1940s, it hosted Duke Ellington, Cab Calloway, Billie Holiday, Louis Armstrong, Lionel Hampton, Count Basie, Lena Horne and many other jazz legends. Other noteworthy people who stayed at the Dunbar include W. E. B. Du Bois, Joe Louis, Ray Charles and Thurgood Marshall. Former heavyweight champion Jack Johnson also ran a nightclub at the Dunbar in the 1930s. The Watts towers For most of my younger years i was raised in the Jungles and for the summer i was in Broward county. If yall dont know about the Jungles just think back to the movie Trainign Day when Denzel went to the apt of his baby mama.
