Out Time

Out Time

What is an appropriate time a married woman should come home from a nightclub if she is out without her hubby?

She is not fooling around at all, she is just out having fun dancing, what do u think is appropriate time and what is a completely uncalled for time?

It really depends on where you live and what time everything shuts down. Here, the bars close at 2, so I would say any time between 12 and 1 would be good... staying til they're closed is pushing it, and coming home a while after they've been closed is unacceptable.

PLEASE HELP If I want to have a new adventurous college and life experience should i go to Japan?

I'm applying for a scholarship to japan, what is life like for an expat there, will i feel homesick if im social and independant, will i get a culture shock? But its the first time ill be away from home. Is japan the right choice?Tokyo to b specific, are people nice to expats, are there people i can mingle with easily, im very frightened at the idea:( please help

depends which college you are going to. Waseda, Sophia, Keio, ICU?

ICU may be the best because they actively recruit international students. Waseda has an international program also, but much more prestigious, so harder to get in.

Tokyo can be fun: watch out though, the landlady where you rent will go through your garbage to make sure you separated it right.

Easy to find cheap food........ expats are just more bodies... some neighborhoods are better to stay away from.

you WILL get lonely at some point... it is far from home, airfare is expensive. for that matter EVERYTHING is expensive there.

lots of great cultural things......

How is it living in the San Francisco Bay area?

I'm planning on attending a college in the San Fran bay area. Do you enjoy living there? How's the weather, beaches, and night life? Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Born-n-Raised ...

SF has everything ... (well except parking LOL)

You'll find ...
every culture, every food, every music ...
theater, museums, movies, malls & night clubs ...
seedy bars, upscale bars, pubs, diners and dives ...
surfers, stoners, yuppies, strippers, street walkers, and trannies ...
LOL !!!

SF has many Neighborhoods were the flavor of food-n-people will vary.

San Francisco is a relatively safe city, and, with common sense you should be just fine. Most of the places you're likely to go as a tourist are safe. However, here's a few places you should avoid.

Hunters Point/Bayview - Never EVER go to the HP. Day or night it is extremely dangerous. Fortunately, it's hard to get lost there - few buses go there, so it' unlikely you'll wind up there by mistake. There's only ONE reason, as a tourist, that you would go there, and that's to see the 49ers at 3Com. Stick to the main exits and don't try to drive thru the 'hood.

Tenderloin - The TL isn't as bad as it used to be, but it should still be avoided at night. Some parts of it, like Turk Street just north of Market, should always be avoided. The bad blocks are pretty obvious - if it looks bad, turn around and find a different way.

Market & 6th - This is one of the scummiest blocks in the city. Avoid it at all hours. SOMA from 4th Street towards downtown is relatively safe however. The main homeless area (their home) is around 7th & Market, heading towards City Hall.

Haight Ashbury - Safe during the day, but LOTS of bums - calling them "homeless" is intellectually dishonest. Expect to be panhandled mercilessly. Simply smile and say "sorry" and keep walking. Do not make eye contact with anyone you don't want to have a rambling conversation with. Junkietown - the area near Golden Gate Park at the end of Haight Street near McDonald's - should be avoided at night.

16th & Mission - a major transportation hub but also a VERY scummy block. If you take BART to the 16/Mission station, go up the escalators, on to the plaza, and keep walking! Don't loiter around the plaza; all sorts of vermin hang out here. Things improve greatly just one block away.

Happy Traveling ...
