The U.S. military guy that was in Portugal probably was in the Azores (the U.S. has a base in Terceira island), which is arguably nicer than the mainland in terms of landscape and such things.
The Philly specific stuff (like cheese steak sandwich) was discussed in the other thread already
I had some further ideas on stuff to get:
I could use some of those headphones that are small and still block outside noise, for using in the subway (which can be quite noisy from the friction of the rails in bends and the beeps for opening and closing doors). Advice anyone? The main intended use is my DS lite.
I haven't seen those 90s style Reebok Pumps here in Portugal, but I bet I can find a pair in the U.S. (retro Reeboking!). If Reebok still makes them, nowadays Reebok is all aerobics shoes for women
(they have some nice "casual" style ones that look like normal shoes though).I'm also pondering if I should get a pair of those classic "pilot style" Raybans as sadly, my pair of retro rabyans were lost or (probably) stolen, (probably) in the subway. I have my bike glasses which have a dark lens set (usually I used the transparent lens just to keep insects, polen, rain, wind and stuff from hitting my eyes when cycling). But they are arguably too stylish for my taste when I'm using them as a pedestrian.
Ivo.
