I went to have a look at the Banksy statue on Tuesday

Did the tourist attractions in California, Arizona and Nevada, the man made ones were a bit shit.

Lived in Shit City for 6 years when I was a courier, didn't do ANY tourist thing the entire time I was there.

Been in LA for 35 years, went to the Petersen museum once, spent longer in the gift shop than looking at the cars etc. Never been to Dismal Land & no intention of ever going. Went to the Long beach aquarium a few times with my kid when she was little. That's about it.

Rode all over Europe back in the day, can't recall doing anything even vaguely touristy.

I've been to more tourist attractions in cities that I haven't lived in than the ones I have

Eiffel Tower? Got to be done etc.

I did go to the Tintin museum in Brussels (and the Musée des Beaux Arts but I don't really count galleries as tourist attractions) but not the Atomium. Saw the Manneken Pis statue too but only because I was walking past it. (It's very small).

What have you got on your 'been there, that' list?

What's been the best one?

Nopes... None of them. I think we did the Tower of London with the boy once... Fuck me it was dull. Mrs Weeksy likes an art gallery.... However, i'm not a fan.

Liked the London eye, have been twice. Once as dusk changed to evening with 2 other couples. The second time during the day with lots of people was a bit shit.

Did the tour Eiffel a few times. During covid was brilliant as no queues and not busy. Same as many of the Paris attractions. If there are lots of people feel that you miss the point. The Louvre is good as most go and see the mona lisa so you can wander round in peace.

Persoanlly I think its who you are with. Been to some shite places, with people from here, and made some great memories.

Define touristy if you were enjoying the roads.

Roads are roads. Spent a month in Spain, didn't visit anything like museums etc
