New York, baby! I went shopping in Queens the other day, hometown of Roger Sanchez. I bet my cousins in the South Bronx knew him back in the day.

How do you find being a Brit living in the States? Sometimes I quite enjoy it but at other times I can't be bothered with the whole place and wish I could just jump on a plane and head back to the UK/Europe.... Which I'm doing very soon!! I'll be there for closing parties that week too. I cannot wait for some proper parties! See you on the terrace! 8)

What does that mean, you can't be bothered with the whole place?
 
I recently moved to Cardiff by the Sea, a surfer town just north of San Diego. Prior to that I was living in Laguna Beach, CA for the past five years. Prior to that I was in Austin, TX for five years where I attended uni at The University of Texas at Austin.

It is definitely ironic considering the fact that this country has produced some of the best DJs in the world.

Emmm. That's a difficult one to answer in less than a 1500 word essay. But I'll try.... I just want to start by saying that since coming here almost everyone has just been so friendly and welcoming (probably way more so than most British people would have been to a foreigner back home I'm sad to say) and I have made some good American friends. I just wanted to say this because I know I'll feel guilty about the next bit...

I think I just find the USA much more foreign and strange than I thought I would. Before coming here I had assumed that as our two nations speak the same language, we would be quite similar. Like most Britons I don't consider myself European in the slightest and don't speak other languages much either. But I'm finding I have much more in common with people from other European countries. To be honest I just don't get what most Americans are about. All people seem concerned about is being respectable and making money. Most people seem pretty boring in fact. All the European friends I've made since coming here agree with me on this point. Its a very rules-based society here (especially compared to the UK). Everything from effective prohibition till you're 21 to getting a parking ticket for parking outside your own house on a street-cleaning day! Feckers!

Partly this is a good thing - people are much more courteous and polite than in the UK. But it seems to be extremely difficult to find cool laid-back people who just want to have a laugh. There's not much of a pub culture. If you go to the pub more than once a week, people seem to think you're virtually an alcoholic. In terms of clubbing, at least in the SF bay area, things are pretty sedate. I thought if there was anywhere in the States where the party would totally go off, it would be San Francisco, but sadly no. The atmosphere and party spirit is but a fraction of that in England or Europe.

Of course there are a lot of good things about the place too. Friendly people, good weather, and great scenery.... Sorry that was pretty long (yet pleasingly cathartic).

Axon, did you ever live outside CA?

No never. I'm not trying to generalise to a whole continent by the way. Some of my mates tell me I'd be much better suited to NYC than CA, but I can't judge as I've never been.

I've been to New Orleans twice and loved that however. So sad what's happened to that great place...
