   One thing I did enjoy about my time in France that I don't get much here in the US, and certainly not in Bradford, Ohio, is turning a random street corner and then suddenly, CATHEDRAL.

     @scalzi Congratulations on encountering the mirror-image of how Europeans feel on turning a street corner in the US and OH LOOK EMPIRE STATE BUILDING

     @cstross @scalzi I think I experience some similar semblance to this sort of feeling when visiting mega cities in China in 2008. You look at the skylines and there's just nothing like them in the US. The amount of construction going was just off the charts. Everywhere, the future was being built and it was a more "futuristic" future than my American mind could conceive. All the buildings too fanciful and lit up neon. Fuck New York. Have you seen New Pudong?
