Greetings from London,
Looks like I made all my flights and I just had the pleasure of passing 24 hours in South Beach, Miami. There are lots of cities that are cool for a night or two like many things in life, yes? While walking around today I got those Jay Z lyrics of “All Black Everything” in my mind only replaced with “All Fake Everything” if that makes sense.
South Beach is a spot where people from all over the USA and world come to party. I feel bad for those in search of a good beach because it’s basically spoiled with big old oil tankers; reminds me of Sentosa in Singapore but that is for another day. I just go there to make connecting flights to London and usually spend a night drinking cheap rum and eating sushi.
I was looking for a free shuttle downtown and I found South Beach Group. They own countless hotels and hostels and offer free shuttles to and from the airport. They also have a free happy hour where you can drink the type of liquor wrapped in paper bags and found in the hands of homeless men throughout the city. I usually have one or two before regretting it and hit up some sushi spot.
The sushi is great and I’ve concluded that most spots use the same fish; they just charge different prices. Tony’s is the place you hit up if a girl suggests it and you don’t want to look cheap. Moshi Moshi is good for lunch or whatever but if you’re like me; you’ll just hit Hiro Express which is decent, fast, no frills and reasonably priced. I hit that today with a friend and I’ll be back; it’s my new lunch spot.
South Beach is cool and probably cheaper than the Caribbean if you’re looking for a weekend of fun in the sun. That said, if you don’t have tattoos you may feel a bit left out; they seem to be all the craze. Only spot I saw more tattoos per capita was in Australia.
Also picked up the iPhone 5S; wow what an upgrade from the 4… Also, no wonder ZAGG was doing well, they want $40 for a piece of $@#$ing plastic? What a joke. I had to buy one though from the whole “insurance” of my new toy point of view. You do know that those covers cost like $0.30 to make and sell for $2 or so in places like SE-Asia; insanity. I’m glad to see their stock slowly slide into a black hole.

South Beach was the first place I ever experienced Eurotrash. The Webster’s could not have done a better showcase.
Wtf is with the mugging. Physical contact that is unneeded let alone wanted.
lol, no shortage of weirdos.
I lived there for years before it became the South Beach it is today. During that era Coconut Grove was the hot spot.
btw- back in those days women who wanted to be topless on Miami Beach went to 21st street beach, because it was the “gay beach” and presumably did not have straight males enjoying the view.
Seems like not much has changed. This lady I know mentioned a nude beach now but it’s usually frequented by the same crowd you mentioned.
I think this is among the so much vital info for me. And i am happy studying your article. However wanna observation on some general issues, The web site taste is ideal, the articles is actually nice : D. Just right activity, cheers
