Assuming I do a PhD, where should I go?

The guidebook said...

that "Tucson is a boring place with not much to do and even if there was, its too hot to do it. You can't stay outside for more than 10-15 minutes at a time."

The guidebook's wrong on 2 accounts!

Firstly, I just spent all afternoon playing Basketball (typically American i know) and Volleyball having already cycled downtown this morning. I'm subsequently sitting in the air-conditioned library writing this - quite thirsty and fairly knackered. A pint of something and a swimming pool is calling when i get back to the apartment.

Secondly, Tucson is awesomeness squared! I can't think of anything not to do in Tucson (except maybe go to the beach or dance in the rain). Ok, the heat can limit things - its currently around 40 celcius with 75-80% humidity! - but im not moaning about the free tan. Ironically, down the road from us, a new tanning shop has opened - seems like the biggest waste of money in Arizona if you ask me.

Last night was another free meal from the International office or someone - we've got another one next wednesday aswell! Its great!

Anyway, g2g guys. Getting too thirsty for comfort!
