Putting your right hand on your heart, who thinks that ...

choosing California state of USA for Rig'n'Roll was a great idea

I put my hand on my heart and say I do. So, I voted YES. This is my opinion and I don't afraid to voice it.

I personally think it really is. There are many reasons and I personally think that patriotism should not be the primary reason to say "No". And for the record, I was born in USSR and my native language is Russian which I speak every day.

So, long story short, my reasons:
- California is not Russia and for some reason, I like to explore "other worlds" more than those which I live in - more interesting if you wish (as a consequence I like to travel);
- There is sun in California 350 days a year and I like sunny countries, I like sun in general. The countries and cities look far more appealing with a blue sky and bright sun;
- California has far better roads than Russia. The roads are also versatile. Highways and viaducts and simply more developed road infrastructure.
- California (and USA in general) have far better, more nice looking and longer rigs than Russia makes (and cars in general), even despite the fact Kamaz may win Paris-Dakar rally.
- California is a beautiful state, palms, sun, mountains, deserts, etc.. . Russia has mountains and beautiful nature too, but it's different and this will never change because of the moderate climate. All you will be able to see are plain trees, and trees again driving on russian roads. California's nature is verstatile, not just trees..... ;
- Californian local police is not trying to receive bribes when they stop you, so you respect them more;
- California has very advanced trucking infrastructure;

Well, these are main ones.

What do you think?
