That would involve considerably more flavor than traditional Cuban food, offending the locals. Pass out plantains and clumps of geasy beef to sate them.

Both the Bay area and LA are worth visiting. San Simeon, Big Sur, and Monterey deserve a visit too. Never go to the Inland Empire.

In second place was listening to the Fallout soundtrack and envisioning the place as the post-nuclear hellscape it so clearly already was in spirit, though not yet in form.

There are better things to do in L.A. than that. Not Orange County though.

Here's a multinational thing you'll come to grips with as you spend time overseas. Island nation cuisines suck. For obvious reasons.

I'm either doing tourism really right or really wrong because my itinerary is always the same: 1) Street food 2) Day drink 3) Historical, cultural, or personal attraction 4) "Good" food 5) Nightlife (see, e.g., 1 and 2)

Seriously I want to find out where you guys are getting your Cuban food because while it's not spicy I would never call it bland. I want to go on a massive investigate trip to track exactly where you guys were led astray like that journalist who went to Uruguay to find the

Hey guys check out this rice and b- Have some plantains! My baseline cuisines are Tex-Mex, Barbecue and Thai. Cuban is basically hosed in comparison.
