Everyone post a promo tourism commercial from either your home province/state/region or country. I'm just looking for ideas for where I want to travel to. I like looking at the different promo commercials. haha

We don't have commercials for my town, but you can rent a four bedroom house in a nice area for about $425 a month. Cigarettes are cheap too. About $3.50 a pack. Vodka's high though. $6 a pint. Beer is $4.29 a six pack. You can get the all you can eat seafood buffet at the restaurant on the edge of town for $12. You can get a BBQ plate for lunch at the other place for $2.99.

Stuff is real cheap in my town. Too bad there is nothing to do though.

There are too many commercials for mine! Buffets are around $12. BBQ plate sounds dang good but for that price it's almost 'what kind of meat does anybody get for that price?' haha. Plenty of stuff to do here but I hardly ever do any of it. I like small towns like the ones in SW Missouri my kin live in, as long as I am situated with my creature comforts

But if OP has never been to L.A. there are a few pretty good sized pockets of the Filipino community
