There is a redneck trailer park here called Shangdi La Leaving the religious belief out of the above, I believe from what I heard from various sources, that trailer parks tend to provide the raunchiest hottest sexual experiences, can anyone confirm this (I'm being serious)
If ever I were to visit the States again, would love to visit one as well as a Walmart store, pics I've seen of the clients therein would be greatly entertaining methinks.
