Ballard is a cute village like area with a neat climbing gym, a great Indian restaurant, and one of my fave stores: Second Ascent. My aunt lives in Ballard and moved there from a small town in CO.
did they nuke all the "mixed use" yuppie veal pens or something?

Is somebody purposely trying to piss me off today.
Almost certainly. The question is usually who.

ahhhh Australia. their anti-intellectualism makes ours look provincial.
maybe just mention how it killed off the Abos?

the problem, like anything in Nepal, would likely be transportation. Traffic sucks in KTM, and getting out of the city much less into the hills can take a while.
Awesome country though, I'm jealous. Have wanted to go back, and out into the wilds of West Nepal

I dunno 2g1c was like a PatPong ouerdoeuvre to lure you in

Is this what you guys do for a hobby? Monitor foreign real estate values?
It's funny to laugh at the real estate prices in Revelstoke as you pass through, yes

Damn looks awesome, always wanted to climb in Rio. Doesn't look like there were many other climbers?

You guys should let China invest in your real estate market too.
Who the fuck do you think gave us the crack, err cash?

stiff skis are like single malt scotch. an acquired taste for many

"sick pow turns, brah"

Japan is inhabited by the Japanese whose cultural predilections for 'under-reporting' are legendary and have not really changed a shred from feudal times.
It's true. They invented the used schoolgirl panty vending machine before gunpowder

With a name like Hugh? hmmmm.......
you'd suspect the hotness of the cc.com hotties from the screen name alone?

I'm a 25 year old female, blonde, big tits with an ass like french vanilla ice cream.

I voted Anal To Mouth
With current votes only for
the GOP
S&P
and
George W Bush
which is Ass to Mouth? I didn't see a PP option
-
I bet he'll blame it on someone else, the same as the republicans do.
I've already forgotten what Bush used as an excuse. Anyone remember?
Not enough tax cuts.

I don't doubt some french laugh at the accent of Quebecois but in my experience the French love Quebec.
STFU. You have no idea what you are talking about. The French think they are dirty, illiterate, hillbillies.
Too be fair Parisians think everyone not from Paris is a dirty illiterate hillbilly.
And French mountains towns are like every other mountain in the world where someone who moved there 2 months ago is convinced everyone else is inferior and they've mastered all of its secrets.

I don't see it anywhere near as much in the climbing/outdoor industry as compared to the high tech industry (where many are borderline religious in their devotion). Besides people who are sponsored, I find most climbers are not slaves to one particular brand, but rather are willing to use whatever impresses them, or even just whatever happens to be on sale.
This sounds like the usual artificial "real climber" vs "Rei shopper" distinction that "real climbers" babble about on bulletainboards to feel better about themselves. Climbing (whatever climbing is these days - do the lulemon tight bodies at the rock gym count?) isn't as bad as snowboarding or skiing, but plenty of irrational brand loyalty or hatred (cue some BD venom) i'm not sure where the patagonia comment comes from these days. all the cool kids have moved on to Norrona or something cooler.

It's the loud drunk Brits (110% of them), the obnoxious Germans(err, all of them), and the rich Russians "spek Roooshian", and the Han Chinese who think they are "fah superior" that people really hate these days.
USA is still #1 here too boyz.
That's right, I said it. Read it and weep gentlemen, we rule.
Many dislike our politics and what it does to them but often Americans are said to be easy going, unpretentious, congenial, .. so my guess is that it's more of a mixed bag of emotions.
i'd chalk it more to working americans don't travel much and when they do state at insular mid-range hellholes so few know or care. the little study abroad shits have a bad rep particularly in Italy. Israeli's aren't well loved either.

From comments I've heard in all my travels pretty much anywhere, ever, nobody anywhere thinks much of the French. Hell, even the French don't like the other French - North, South, East, West, they all look down their noses at les autres. The only thing they can all get together on is their universal hatred of Parisiennes.
Hey Canada make with the 21st century!
From my travels the french are generally insular and thats the major compliant about them. The women are hot, flexible, and put out. It's the loud drunk Brits (110% of them), the obnoxious Germans(err, all of them), and the rich Russians "spek Roooshian", and the Han Chinese who think they are "fah superior" that people really hate these days.
From Quebecois the French and the Swiss don't think they are part of the same culture; some Quebecois (like these who'd moved to Switzerland) don't think of themselves as Canadian (and really, if you had money, would you want to be Canadian? It's pay for not gay)
