Advantages: beautiful, More Rio than American Disadvantages: some places very dangerous
Miami is full of colour, the pier leading to the edge of this city is full of striking american 50's and 60's architecture, in bright vibrant colours. This city does not seem part of America but more representative of the Latin Cuban peoples who dominate the city and it posesses that sultry seductiveness of the South Americas than the developed US of A. The people walk around with an air of machismo and bravado, and the materialism that capitalism ... ...is a feel to the mainly tourist, or richer parts of a community rather than the inward looking ways of commuters and those at work. However as in most american cities the more you venture from the safe areas the more exciting it gets. Mainly because it is scary, downtown maimi has a kind of abandoned feel that leaves you feeling very lonely, yet your senses completly heightened. What really makes this place is the high sun, palm trees, beautiful ...

Advantages: A massive experience Disadvantages: Be aware of safety
Miami is the place to visit. Every dream is realised. Follow advise about safety, ie do not expose your camcorder in your parked car. Do not walk out alone at night. The best time to visit Miami is during the U.S.A holiday times. Late October is ideal. You get excellent rates on hotel rooms. You can barter with the receptionists. Unlike the English hoteliers, the American's are not greedy and would rather see a room used for a smaller rate than empty ... ...not just the small roadside establishments. The hotel bars run a 'slate' system so you dont have to pay each time you have a drink...you just pay at the end of the session. The Americans are very friendly and respect you. So long as you respect them. Remember to take i.d with you when visiting bars as they follow strict underage drinking laws. ...
