So I am talking ot a guy on mixi about locations to take pictures of his car.

Me: 町中がいい考えね
例えばこれ：

Him: 浪速やん（笑）
こんなにインパクトの強いとこ札幌にあるかなあ f^^ ポリポリ

Click to expand...

So 浪速 なにわ Is just a location?


The second sentence.....
こんなにインパクトの強いとこ札幌にあるかなあ
I am assuming こんな and に should be separated. Still breaking it down I can't grasp the grammar in this sentence.
This kind of impact's strength is endless in Sapporo?

Help?

Yes 浪速 is a name of place.
It could mean either the whole Osaka or a ward in Osaka-shi.

とこ and 札幌 are separate words.

こんなに インパクトの強いとこ 札幌に ある かなあ

こんなに to that extent
インパクトの強い (something that) gives strong image/expression
とこ＝ところ place
札幌に in Sapporo
ある exist, be
かなあ I wonder

Thats what killed me

とこ I didn't know it also could mean place or shortened version of ところ。@_@

Thank you Undrendtide

edit how do you use ポリポリ? Is there site that can explain some of these like:

わくわく (もう知ってるけど）
ぎりぎり
ポリポリ
There is one for squishing but can't remember.

ポリポリ is onomatopoeia describing (1) eating something crunchy (2) scratching (head).
It's often used for (2),

Here's a list of onomatopoeia/mimetic words.
It does not cover everything - which I believe is almost impossible - but it explains about quite a few words you can find in daily conversation.

*Click 五十音検索. For example, if you look for the word ギリギリ, click か行, then ギリギリ is found on the 2nd page. (At the bottom right you find the link 次の59件)

So that was the sound of him wonder if there is a place like in the photo in Sapporo. Makes sense. I am not familiar with those onomatopeia....
