That being said, I haven't had a good Bandeja Paisa in a while I think I'm overdue for one.
Me too I am also missing cholados hard, best fruit salad ever
In Perú I dont think Ive ever heard La Macarena. The music people here listen to seems to be 1/3 eighties music, 1/3 Argentinian rock, and 1/3 reggaeton
I don't want to flood the thread with too many comments without contributing. I need to start taking more photos myself. I just feel weird taking pictures in busier areas because I don't want to look suspicious.
I was amused Rozenn traveled to NYC and took photos of one of the worst neighborhoods of the city. Phone camera helps by being more discrete. I barely use my real camera these days except for hiking trips. Don't see the point of lugging around an SLR to places I've taken photos of 10 times already when my phone camera is usually decent. Perhaps I should give it a try again.

But trust me, I take notice of your nice pics! Among other people, like Rozenn, Guajara, Jakobsli, Cambium, Hiromant, FG, Baba etc. And I've noticed Razza has been posting pics recently too (very nice btw).
Thanks.
I like the variety in that thread. Yea, Razza just posted some nice photos; had no idea what his area looked like. A couple northern Italian posters post good photos, too; especially one living in a valley in the Alps near Turin. And one northern German posters, Alphatier? Ed's Mountain is good, too.
There was a while back I spent a bunch of time posting a lot of my photos and they got no response; meanwhile owen posted a few photos and a bunch of posters responded to make fun of him. Got rather annoyed they hijacked and ignored my photos [mine were more interesting, why was owen's hotel so interesting?]; ignored their complaints on owen ever after...
That response really isn't related to what I said though. Your position is contradictory and doesn't make sense. You act surprised that we don't have covered streets, but then go on to list reasons as to why don't have them - including the climate here not being conductive to covered streets because it presumably isn't as nice as it is there (but one of the reasons to have covered streets is to protect yourself from rain, which is more frequent here than there).
Honestly, you just need to let it go. New Zealand must be the only country in the world where covered streets are the norm. There is no appetite here for every street to be covered.
It's just an interest thing and I'm not losing sleep over it . UK is a wet climate, yet streets sidewalks aren't covered -presumably because the weather much of the year isn't up to sitting outside anyway. It seems obvious to me that town s would afford shoppers more cover, but not to worry

Higher rainfall, but my climate also has less rain days than the UK. Brits here generally have something to say about it feeling drier here than they're use to.

I like to look at lots of photos, but it only takes one post with a couple of big photos, and the page is screwed.
I haven't seen many photos from the US ore Europe in ages.I just read the text, and try to visualise the images
I was looking randomly on streetview around east London. These streets seem a bit unusual for the area, with their brick surface rather than tarmac. It looks more Dutch or Belgian than London? Sky conditions look typical for the summer.
