Vilnius TV Tower at celebration of year 2000 (this is not the nicest picture, it doesn't shows the top with laser lights and huge light symbolising star of Betlehem. Also not all fireworks are shown here. I can tell that tower really looked great in those girlandaes of lights).

all things pass quickly away.
Each of you must be completely alert;
never neglectful, never indulgent.

The suburbs of SanFran can be very, very conservative if you pick them right, and you still get the beauty of the region.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay.

Thanks SuperSneak for the pics.. Oregon is truly a beautfiul state. I like it a lot. Fortunately, I have the opportunity to come there in a couple of months, and of course do some snowboarding at Mt. Hood! Can't WAIT!
Plus Portland is nice too, it's very very clean. I got the picture that it's pretty safe too, and people are sure nice.In da butt.

Here are some of Buenos Aires (megaopolis) where I currently live:
You know one thing I say is this city is disconnected from the rest of the country... completely different than any other city in Argentina.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

I went to Portland once. I went into a little tiny strip club there. The only one I ever went to in Portland.
Anyway, a couple years later, I was watching a movie called "Brainsmasher: A Love Story" with Andrew "dice" clay and Terri Hatcher. They get chased into this strip club with a big, huge marquee, when they go inside, Lo and Behold, it was the one little dive I had been in years earlier.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

Tuberski, Yeah. There's lots of movies made in there.. it's nice when often I get to think 'I was just there...' .
It might be a bit lame to think that's fun, but then again I don't mind that.In da butt.

Okay there is another reason why I don't like SF, it is muchly too modern... there needs to be some old buildings in a city I would like. Sure San Diego was nice but it lacked old buildings... that is what I dislike about US cities.For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.

Lagos has quite a skyline there actually and looks modern for the most part.... too bad the country has struggled with violence...For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night.
