Worth visiting!
I was surprised to learn that there was a Chinatown in DC. I’ve been through there a couple of times. It’s interesting to see the signs written in Chinese. There is also a big archway right near the entrance to the Metro station.
It happens to be near the International Spy Museum, the National Portrait Gallery, and several other attractions.

Not worth it!
i state it as “not worth visiting” because of the efforts to get yourself there far outweigh what i felt was expected of a “floating market”. perhaps it was the season and the time that severely affected the spectacle of it… this was in april, early morning 8-11, while the boats had relatively little variety (pumpkins, pineapple, watermelon).
i was also on a tour boat, so i had no chance of “experiencing”, but only stealing glimpses of what it possibly could be… so in this case, i had no expectations of satisfying my heart, but only my camera.
for this reasons, i prefer Bangkok’s Damnoen Saduak

Worth visiting!
seems like most travellers reach Vinh Long to get somewhere else…
i didn’t get a chance to see much, just the wet market. but what i did notice was that the people had warm, open hearts and so friendly, it was a nice place to stop for inspiration after a worn-out journey.

All I can say about this place could probably be described with the adjective of joy.. Wowww.. Tijuana.. When I used to live in South California we used to travel 4 or 6 times a year to TJ.. I was young, about my 10 or 11 years.. I really loved when at dinner someone would always ask something like ” Well, are we gonna go to TJ this weekend or the next… I really loved it..

Turnersville
Worth visiting!
I don’t know if its fitting that this city is our nations capital or if its a disgrace. The Dupont circle area was amazing and the Smithsonians are amazing and all free. That sad part was the amount of crime and almost all the people were very rude. Georgtown was not very interesting or exciting to me it was like a mall set up to look like main st usa. All in all I dont think I would ever go back but am glad I got to see the tourist attractions, museums, monuments etc.

Sorry you disliked it. I just got back from a trip there with my wife. We loved it and had a great time.
True, you can find crime in pretty much any big city. I found people to be pretty nice for the most part. Some of them just had different ways of expressing their niceness than the way in which I am accustomed to seeing it.

Obviously a lot depends on where you will be studying/working/meeting people you know. The general rule is to stay on the same side of the river as journeys crossing Zone 1 are expensive and crowded and often delayed. Living close to a station or main bus route is inportant even if you drive because of the cost of parking and Congestion Charge for driving in central London. If possible give yourself a few days to look around before you start a job or course. London is still a collection of small towns, each with its own centre and character.
Look at the Transport For London website
www.tfl.gov.uk for travel information and maps.
Best wishes for your move.

All of London is expensive. The closer in (zone 1/2 of the 6 concentric zones) are the most expensive. The dodgy ghetto areas are the south right down the middle (lambeth, brixton, new cross, lewisham, kennington, peckham rye). The south is cheaper than the north (of the thames). I lived in zone 3 and transit was 100 pounds a month to get into zone 1. The further out you go, especially beyond the M15, the more expensive it will be to get into central london if you plan on working there.
London is the most expensive city in the world (or up there anyway) so anywhere you stay is going to be expensive unless you’re sharing or have a dual income. Good luck!

It’s doable, but a motorcycle drive over that distance is no joke. I’d be nervous going through New York traffic via a motorcycle.
Still, it would be a blast and who knows, you might get a travel book out of it.

Yeah… 6 or 7 days a year is an absolutely good reason to trash a location.
More to the point, it is only for a couple of hours on those 6 or 7 days of the year that the traffic is bad. And, if you know what you are doing, which is not really hard, you can even manage to get where you want and avoid the traffic at the same time. Most people, though, just schedule around it so that it is not a problem anyway.
Being a college town also brings some positive points too. It enhances the cultural opportunities and the youthful vitality of the city, for instance. Knoxville is a good place to raise a family. But then, many places can be. It is simply a matter of what you put into it. You can make it what you want to. Or not. If you prefer to be negative.
