True, true. Chicago is also kind of a unique place, and I think Portland is an underrated little gem. But San Francisco... San Franciscans have abandoned proper four-way stop etiquette entirely. Now, if someone executes a left turn, the car immediately behind the left turner scoots across the intersection on the turner's coattails, as if the three other waiting cars don't matter. I honk at he who scoots each time, but to no avail. Seriously, I saw it happen three intersections in a row yesterday, and I honked each time. I should give up. OP, if you visit San Francisco, brace yourself for 4-way stop mayhem.
Heh football in Belgium isn't really interesting anyway but I do support RSCA . All my teams had good but not great seasons, Rockets, Arsenal, PSG and RSCA. Anyway, there's always next year!
I was just in Brussels and Ghent about a month ago. We loved our trip. Anyway, one crazy place you may consider stopping by is the meteor crater in Arizona. It is unreal how big it is. It isn't too far from the grand canyon, btw. http://www.meteorcrater.com/index.php
