    Tourists want to see something they can't see at home.

    Everything in Austin I can get at home. So why bother touring Austin?

      ok..untill you've been to texas perhaps you also shouldn't say anything. I've been to washington state..that's pretty damn close in itself. ..that AND alaska. I'm not saying that Canada is bad. If you would reread what i've said, i've stated that Texas isn't as boring and as horrible as you've made it out to be. If you're going to get your panties in a twist, please make sure you know what you're doing it about.

          Maybe you should read the thread yourself.

            A bored one?

            Really, quit avoiding the question: What's in Austin that I can't get in any large city?

Lake Travis? Town Lake? Good Mexican food? bah...what is in your precious canada that would warrant a trip to nowhere's ville instead of going to, say, colorado or oregon?

                  *sigh* and as far as cities go, Austin is one of the most picturesque with its rolling hills, and greenery everywhere. It isn't all concrete and parking lots like most big cities...

                    Why is that interesting?

                    Seeing the Capitol building?
                    Why would a foreign tourist give a sh*t about the Texas capitol building?

                    Maybe going and seeing a band or two in the Live Music Capital of the world?
                    Oh, that's re-assuring, we don't have Live Music in Canada.

                    Lake Travis? Town Lake?
                    No Lakes anywhere else either.

                    Good Mexican food?
                    Why not go to Mexico?

                    bah...what is in your precious canada that would warrant a trip to nowhere's ville instead of going to, say, colorado or oregon?

                      Asher, do you have a big-brother America complex? There seems to be some sort of goodhumored rivalry between the US'ers and Canadians.

                      I remember when I visited Budget car rental at Vancouver airport. I had rent my car in Los Angeles and the woman there told me that when you go to Canada you have to buy insurance - $25.00 - just like when you go to Mexico. As if Canada is as dangerous as Mexico.. Anyways the guy in Vancouver asked me: "Are you American?" when I told him what the American woman had said. I answered no and he said that Americans were stupid.

                        I don't know.
                        I've lived in both places, but I'm Canadian.

                        California is beautiful (especially the bay area).
                        Colorado is, too.
                        Oregon/Washington are pretty nice.

                        But Texas I just never really liked. The accents annoy me, the weather is WAY too hot/humid, and the sites to see just didn't interest me at all.

                          By the way, Florida is nice, but unless you go to some of the theme parks and clubs, which are really expensive, it can be kind of boring. Going on about $1500 U.S. probably wouldn't be realistic unless you found a place to stay.

                            You should have loved Austin then, and gone to see UT.

                            Why would a foreign tourist give a sh*t about the Texas capitol building?
                            umm...same reason I went to go see all the buildings in Europe, history and architecture...

                            Why not go to Mexico?
                            Go to mexico...The Banditos would love to get ahold of your ass

                            TexMex and mexican are Different. Tex-mex is very good (as is mexican food) I'm sorry I mispoke. Come to Texas for Tex-mex.

                            The air is cleaner.
                            I've never had a problem with the air here. besides. great, clean air. can't get that in colorado...

                            The Badlands are sweet, HUGE deposit of dinosaur stuff.

                            By your logic, there are very few places anyone would ever want to go =( Glad I don't see the world like you do...

                              Florida's pretty cool, I was there a few years ago.

                              I really enjoyed Busch Gardens and the Kennedy Space Center the most.

                                your lakes are cold
                                we dont' go to mexico because you can't drink the water and we're afraid we couldn't get back
                                kaak: don't forget San Antonio River Walk!!!
                                does canada have theme parks? we have a few of those..including Shlitterbahn..five waterparks meshed into one. i always thought that was impressive. can canadians tube down there rivers. I'll give you this asher: we don't get snow (cept in amarillo) and we can't ice fish. but we get tornados!!!!! woohoo!
                                i guess it would do you no good to come here because thought you have spent most of your life in only two places, you seem to have alread made up your mind.
