No one as of yet, has mentioned the ungodly humidity in that part of the nation during Pekka's visit...
Should we tell him, or let him "sweat" it out for himself once he lands?!?

Humidity?
It's the bugs that are frightening.

Well Pekka my dear, if you are going to Atlanta....brace yourself - for a bit of "southern hospitality" Especially in the summer time.
Concerning the weather/environment...at times it is not pretty. Quite frankly, it can be down right nasty and basically unbearable - but if you take 2-3 showers a day, you should be fine.

I hope Pekka will keep and post diary of his life in Atlanta.

Actually, I think fellow Apolytoners would definately want to know what Pekka really thinks of Atlanta once he has arrived and experienced it in person.Originally posted by Colon™
I hope Pekka will keep and post diary of his life in Atlanta.
Pekka, be sure to start a new thread discussing the finer points of your new life in Atlanta.
We will await the new thread with baited-breath.

Well I don't think you will like it because I will certainly not like Atlanta. Of course I can always bash it.In da butt.

WHY IS THIS THREAD DYING!!!!
There could be all kinds of suggestions like oh yeah, remember to see that thing, ohhh that's a nice place to hang out, you know a really good restauraunt?? You like activities? Listen, this is what you need to do....
RRRAAAGH!!! I don't have much time there, I need to be running when I hit the ground!!! No I'm serious, I have so much work there that if I don't hit the ground running, I'll be having miserable time and not be able to enjoy your city and country that much, because I tend to then kind of just do work then if there's nothing else to do, so I don't want to jus twork 24/7, I need the experience, I really need it badly.
So. Let this baby continue. All kinds of good websites are welcome too, just about anything. I don't know anything about the city and it seems a bit weird that the internet hasn't reached Atlanta yet.
THe living condition thing, seems like my boss will actually pick it for me. It'll be most likely close to the Lindbergh station. I guess it's OK but I'm not sure if my boss has my kind of eye for things, as in we might disagree what is "a nice place to live". So I'll have to take what he gives me, but I know he's trying. I know he gives it some thought and wants me to have a good time. So I just hope he doesn't screw this one up
I think he has like OCD or something, what ever he does, he's the prodigy of it and champion soon, however, stuff outside that is Waawaawaaawaaawuuwuuwuuwuuu

Actually, I figured the thread would come back to life once you arrived in Atlanta.
And seeing your post, I thought "Damn, didn't think Pekka would be in the States that fast"
But I see that you are not.
Besides, I myself don't live in Atlanta (and would never want to), so I really can't help you on the finer points of Atlantian living.
