Ive seen Niagra falls as well. Best side to see it from is definately the canadian side. If you are on American soil you cant go down the back of the falls, which is a sight to behold! Canada is SOOOO clean its unreal. Other than having a similar accent to the americans, its a very different country. For the better i would say.

5 Days in New York is probably enough to see what you need to see and do some shopping. Its very tiring on the legs lol!

You can see Thai boxing anywhere in Thailand, regardless of what town you're in. Same with ladyboys they're everywhere!

Until recently i never fancied japan/tokyo, but im coming round to it now. dont think i could stay ther for long though, it looks too manic.

I dont have pics on this laptop, but when i get home i'll post up a few of the hoover dam and the grand canyon. they are only 2 weeks old

Im with you on seeing things around the world though. My days of 'avin it' in Beefer are well and truly numbered lol. i would much rather spend my hard earned on travelling a bit and seeing cool stuff
