Sights from around town. (new page)

Imagine the city as a big Waikiki, with a mix of the stadium swap meet vendors mixed in. Their beach was a few miles longer than Waikiki though, and a little more dirty (although not as dirty as the Ala Wai spill now, heh). Lots of neon, lots of tourists from all countries, lots of interesting food that I didn't want to chance. Lots of things for sale, all probably knock offs. Crazy...
