California. Eww.
Don't listen to this guy. Unless it's about Southern California. The Southern half can suck my futa. As a Bay Area native and after living there until I was 20, I cannot recommend San Francisco enough. Best place on Earth. It has everything and it's clean and friendly. Go to Ghiradelli square and Japantown and get lunch in Chinatown. And Fisherman's Wharf! It's all beautiful.
IF YOU DO GO THERE, HUNT DOWN A PLACE CALLED 'THE EXPLORATORIUM.' It's an interactive science museum of extreme badassery.
