NYC is fun. Very cool when you're a tourist. Lots of dumb crap to get up to.
Melbourne is where my heart is, though. Fell in love with that place the night before I left. |

New Orleans, Tokyo, Rio de Jainero, Bangkok.
This poll has one fatal flaw though.. its geared to the past tense of only the places you know.
I'm more future-oriented.. so always thinking more of the places I've never been as opposed to the ones I have been. But the list presented is pretty solid from what I've experienced. |

Monteal, because I can show anyone the best and the brightest it has to offer, having lived there 26 years or so. Paris, for having lived there for 3 years and having the locals show me the best and brightest she had to offer.
That's for living in.
I always get a kick visiting NYC, Vancouver, Dublin, London, Geneva, Lauzanne and for some reason Wilmington, North Carolina. |

| Newcastle in the North East of England. Biased cos my dad comes from near there, but it's a nice city with great nightlife, extremely friendly people with a great accent. Great beer too. |

oh they're pretty friendly, right up until the point where they kick your head in for drinking something other than lager, or wearing something with long sleeves in the winter. |

Montreal is my kind of city. It doesn't get any better than that, until you have to find a job. It's so alive in the summer. In the winter, it shows its teeth, but the streets are still packed at 3 AM.
I also thought Munich was great. Amsterdam is right up there too, while Paris is the most beautiful I've been to.
Which leads me to the question: WTF am I doing in Jeomchon? I should be somewhere on St. Denis, or in the Englischer Garten. |

Iceland's a great place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.
Some awe inspiring natural scenery (the Blue Lagoon, Mt Hekla, the waterfalls), but it's a cold, windy, dark, and very very rainy place. No wonder all the chicks wearing nothing but black. (the incredible, drop dead gorgeous, blonde chicks)
They've got a cool project going on there though, where they are converting everything over to hydro-thermal power. Going to disconnect the entire country from the petroleum pipeline. |

Wilmington? I'm really curious as to why.
I haven't been enough places to really feel like my opinion is important, but I'll go with New Orleans. There's a lot of good music but then there's also a lot of darkness, old artifacts of slavery, and ghost story type stuff. |

Buenos Aires
London
Bangkok
--
I know a lot of people hate London, but I thought it was fascinating. The history, the people. Buenos Aires is beautiful and cosmopolitan, and now I'm obsessed with travelling more in South America. I visited Bangkok a month ago and had a fantastic time - the shopping, the temples and palaces, and the people. It's a little hot though. |

I spent 4 days there in 2000, and given the circumstances and the company, those are 4 days I will always remember. |

Come to think of it St. John's, Newfoundland aint a bad town at all. I do miss the rock a bit at times, and that was a nice friendly place, not too small with near 200,000 people, and a good place to go out, maybe get lucky, or just have fun. Ah but I'd be an oldtimer now amongst all those 20 year old university kids 
Also, try going farther east....! lol |
