kalimac rolls his eyes at the picture, as you might have expected.
The bigger question is, if all the Chinese restaurants are full of Chinese, how will you tell which are the good ones? Many of them will be, but not all.
The most intense Christmas shopping display/carryings on I've encountered was in Charleston, South Carolina. Hot, muggy, but full of Christians.
You really don't want to put your hands on the transit escalators here in San Francisco, and you might want to sterilize your shoes after walking on them, too. You don't want to know what it is that periodically gums up the works and has to get cleaned out.
I found the Germans, masters of technology, to be singularly uninterested in accepting credit cards the one time I was there in 1992. I expect it's changed since; they've certainly become more accepted in the UK (already ahead of Germany in that respect) since then, and even - hard as it would have been to believe it was possible - in the US.
