My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

SeattleAnother one from the series "Travels Round North America with K2k6".
Ever watched Frasier? See the titles when a line representing Seattle's skyline draws over the screen? Notice how the Space Needle is the tallest structure there?
It's not. Well, driving in on I5 from the south, it appears to be, but it's built on the low lying part, south of downtown, which is up the hill a bit. So when you go up the needle (actually, about half way up, because the top bit's just a spiky antenna thingy), you're looking UP at the downtown skyscrapers.
So, traveller's tip no. 2 for today - if you're in Seattle, forget the space needle and drive north until you get to the Boeing factory. Now that's impressive!
Oh, and trying to find somewhere to eat downtown at night is difficult too. Lunchtime's no problem - there's a cafe at every corner - but they all seem to close at 5.
