okay I lied. I do vaguely remember going to Coronado and passing by La Jolla but meh....like I said earlier. I'm not much of a beach person. Pt. Loma and Blacks sound foreign to me though. I don't remember them.

Why do you feel a foreigner would have special insight into that?

I'm quite curious about the quality of life in Tokyo; I've heard about indecipherable street names, high-rise buildings and sky-high rents, but I presume it can't be all bad. I have also heard for instance that taxi drivers wear immaculate white gloves while driving.

I wonder if there are any couples on MB who would like to comment on everyday life in Tokyo...

For our American posters:

How easily can you tell different British accents? Do we all just sound the same to you? I'm guessing cockney and Scottish ones would be easy.

Ocean Beach, Imperial Beach, and Mission Beach is where it's at in San Diego. Great bars, places to eat, small cool shops, and 10X cooler than La Jolla or Solana.

I can usually distinguish them pretty easily. Brummies are the best.

I can never tell the difference. I can tell when it's a British accent but other than that, I don't really hear distinguishable differences. Then again, I live in Seattle. Everyone here sounds the same with their lazy speaking patterns.

For all the Ki posters:

Do you actually enjoy the taste of Batlord?

No, but he moans and cries if I don't do what he asks.

Thanks :cool:

yeah makes sense. Same with me and American accents. I think I can tell strong NY ones & Southern ones, but no others. All just sound American to me.
