Hello, I am leon.hart. I am Filipino, and I am a new member on the site. I mostly post in the Nintendo forums since their systems as well as their games are mostly what I am interested in. Wii U will be a day one purchase for me and if I must, I will have it shipped to me.
However, I cannot call myself a Nintendo fanboy as I appreciate all games in general especially those with high production value. As you may or may not know, most everybody here in Asia is mainly PC gamers.

Anyway, I have family, friends and acquaintances all over the world which are mainly in the United States, some in Canada, one in Korea, one in Lebanon, one in United Arab Emirates, and one in Australia.

In August, I will be visiting my aunt who lives in Sacramento, CA. I heard some good things about it and Google shows it is a booming metropolitan. Apparently, this is where Arnold Schwarzenegger lived as a Governor? The Terminator?! Nice!

I hope to also visit much of San Francisco, CA USA and its landmarks. Maybe all other cities as well.


My questions:

-Is anybody here from Sacramento, CA or know of someone from this beautiful city?
-Are there many celebrities that visit this town?
-Any suggestions on points of interests?
-Do you know of any Filipinos, which I hoped it had been a pleasant interaction? LOL

Welcome to Vgchartz! If your in the area, stop by death valley and cook an egg on your hood.

I live 45 minutes from sacramento and it goes some things here and there like their basketball games. If you really want to see a beautiful breath taking place visit san francisco they have so many landmarks and the variety of sea food and different culture food is amazing.

Sacramento is the capital, but I don't think it's such a great place. I haven't been there in a looong time, but my friend who is from there couldn't wait to get out of there.

Your best bet would be going to other places. San Francisco isn't too far away from Sac-town, San Jose is also not much further away.. I think there are quite a few national parks in the other direction as well.

I'm from a bit further south than that, Monterey area. There's a great Aquarium there, it's nice if you like golf as well. (Pebble Beach)

Good news/bad news. Bad news: Sacramento itself is boring as hell. You could hit up the old town, but that will tide you over for a day at most.

Good news: you're within an hour of a bunch of great places. Sonoma and Napa are an hour west of you, if you're into wines. San Francisco is an hour to the southwest. The Gold Country is an hour north of you. It has plenty of Gold Rush era tourist attractions, and some great spelunking, as well as river rafting. The Sierras are an hour east, if you like hiking. And if you love nature in general, go two hours southeast to Yosemite. The giant Sequoia trees still awe me every time.

LOL, Nice poll. I was going to vote 'Stay away, Immigrant!' but I voted See Resultz instead. It looks like somebody already did. I also like the Final Fantasy bit.

The one which has no name is one who you should believe; his greatness knows no bounds. He speaks the truth.
Anyway, I only came here because I'm stalking a virus. Sacramento is a political city. If you're into it, great. Otherwise, there's not much to visit. Sacramento Kings is all they have. Who are they? They almost beat the Los Angeles Lakers in '03. Yeah, now you know, and that's only because of Kobe I'm sure.

I'd check out San Francisco. It's a great city, and there's a lot of asians there. Most importantly, it has Ocean Beach which at one end is a nudist area and "Bay to Breakers" which is a race with costumes and oftentimes nudiss also. I'll let you find out for yourself. I'm sure you're familiar with Zombie run, too. I watched a video of it which had taken place in the Philippines not too long ago.

If you can scrounge up some money, Miami is an awesome place. I watch a lot of Caliente. It's on Saturday. Peep it, I suggest it.
You're right. California is swarmed with celebrities. There exist one in each and every corner. Don't just come up to them, though, there's always a secret agent lurking around and you'll be up for a rude awakening. Never happened to me; I'm just saying.
Stay away from Imperial Beach. There's only one celebrity there one of which you shouldn't concern yourself with.

All in all, welcome to VG Chartz. ««« That 'z' right thurr is what makes us different and ultimately cooler than any other site. Stay away from spammers! search Autolycus. You'll know what I'm talking about.

Thank you. Your feedback is appreciated. I hope to enjoy my visit in the United States :P

Sacramento is a good enough place to see United states first. After San Francisco, I suggest to head down south and see the beaches, Hollywood, and Los Angeles. If you find the time and/or money, check out the east coast as well. There's New York, Washington, DC, and Florida.

United States is huge. How long will you be visiting?

I will be leaving Manila in Aug 2nd, and returning Sept 7. I understand United States is huge. I have many friends and family in the United States. I hope to experience the American culture even for a month

Not a whole lot to do in Sacramento, but it is a beautiful city. But it is located in a good area to go on day trips to other areas. Napa & Sonoma for Wine tasting, Muir Woods is gorgeous. There are lots of pretty beaches near by, but the water is cold in this part of California. Also go visit San Francisco, there is lots to do here. Awesome bars, food from around the world, great seafood, shopping, beautiful ladies, outdoor activities almost every weekend. And if you start missing the Philippines, just hang out in Daly City, a suburb of San Francisco, the majority of people that live there are Filipino.
