Im traveling around the US and to keep costs down, and to get a better perspective on the places that you all live. I know that in Saigon, where I live, if you stay in the backpacker area, you don't see the city for what it really is. I have talked to so many backpackers and they always say... "Is this it?" I want to avoid that on my travels. Show me your favorite places, the good street food, coffee shops, quite places, secret markets,or rooftop bars.

In no particular order To kill a Mockingbird, Pulp Fiction, Moon, Laurence of Arabia, The Good the Bad and the Ugly, 12 Angry Men, Star Wars, City of God, Psycho, Rear Window
