Is it safe to say amps in the US suck compared to other country options
I agree whole heartedly with that comment. I just got back to the states after an extended period of time in Asia. Nothing like strolling the streets of Bangkok in the Pat Pong or Soi Cowboy District. I miss chilling at the carrousel in Pattaya as well. Philippines has some decent bars in Manila and Angeles City is still a popular destination with a ton of bars. Hawaii wasn’t bad either, the large Filipino population keeps the bar owners in business.
Been back in the states for several months and I have to admit that the experience is wanting. When I left in 1999 I thought the central/north jersey area was decent visited a few places that are still in business, my favorite was a place called Eurasia in Princeton. Bliss and Sea Blue had different names. I remember JVS being in Hillside. Still in touch with a young lady from Eurasia, she is a mms now. I was a young 22 y/o when I left, spent time in Europe first, Germany is definitely full of opportunity, spent a lot of time at the stairs in Frankfurt and of course Amsterdam. I’ve visited a few places in the central Jersey area and I have to admit I was disappointed, one place was in the middle of a neighborhood, didn’t enjoy the fact that the neighbors were sitting out on their porch gossiping about the traffic at the house on the corner of Park avenue. I’m am relieved that I am in close proximity to the Caribbean and I will be traveling frequently, actually headed to San Juan for a few days. Hopefully it will be a productive and fun summer.
