Phoenix (visited 2009): Hot as hell. Don't go there in the summer.
Chicago(visited 2004): Awesome food, awesome architecture, awesome features. But the Cubs suck.
San Antonio(visited 2006): Pretty cool, actually.
San Diego(visited 2007): Great beaches and attractions. Great place to visit, horrible place to live in.
San Francisco(visited 2005): Lots of history, great seafood.
Paris(visited 2009): Awesome, you have to go there in your life. But it's like San Diego: Great to visit, horrible to live in.
London(visited 2009): Great to live in and has lots of culture, just not as cool as Paris. The food isn't that great, though.
I'm visiting New York next year.

I've been everywhere.

Boston: It's Boston, enough said. You'll never find a place that feels as tight as it is. Baseball is also your second religion here, and the Lobsters are delicious. Also, ethnic variety, a lot of it.

New York City: Good God, awful. I felt like everyone was minding themselves too much, and it's crowded, trashy, and smells like a giant shit. Also, your baseball team isn't much to be proud of, being the most hated one in America, no joke. Also, from my observations, there's a massive racism problem, especially against Muslims, which I am, which didn't improve my experience there.

Los Angelos: It's been a long time, but I don't share too many good memories except for Disney Land. It's a shithole populated by ghetto thugs, and where the people that give it it's status (Hollywood) live in gated communities so they don't have to care. It's like the most dystopian place on earth, a true image of the rich being ignorantly seperated and doing drugs for fun while the poor shoot eachother and do drugs to forget how shitty life is.

London: It's alright, but the streets are dirty, and the place is VERY gloomy. I'd like to call it the most depressing city on earth, full of guys who feel some pride somehow and a queen who is a waste of tax money. Also, you can't walk down the street without seeing some drunken idiot throw up on the floor right next to a homeless person, while others walk by because it's just business as usual. However, they do nail the tea pretty well.

Paris: It lives up to its status. It's expensive, and looks very luxorius. The food is small and ridiculously expensive. The Champs-Elysees is a pretty nice place for a stroll, I must admit, just don't try to buy anything. As for the eiffel tower, it's damn sexy, and I think you truly can see it from just about anywhere. Also, the metro is blazingly fast.

Rome: Fun stuff. It does a good job of keeping the old structures intact, as in, you'll see the Romules and Remos or Julius/Augustus statues everywhere, the SPQR on almost everything, and of course, the forum and the colleseum.

Vatican City: A lolworthy thing they call a city. The nuns seem to cry at everything they see, and don't try going into the sisteen chapel, unless you're prepared to look at EVERY SINGLE DAMN THING IN THE FUCKING MUSEUM, which they forcibly make you see until you get to the place. Also, I hate the Pope, and all he stands for, and seeing people actually listen to the douche while a big screen of him was behind him made me lose faith in humanity, reminding me of those evil dictator guys you see in those dystopian movies that seem to have their face everywhere.

Florence: The place sticks to its roots really well. I mean, it looks exactly the same it would've looked when Lorenzo Medicci was still around, or at least, a better intepretation then any other city I've seen. Also, some damn good Geletto.

Cairo: Hey, I'm right there as I'm writing this. Fun place, especially if you know people. Yes, you can go right through the entire city and focus on all the places meant for tourists, but you'll be missing 7/8 of everything. One of the most humorous things is the literal wall that seperates the pyramids (in Giza, actually) from the city. Also, mind the camel shit, and don't touch any of the water on the streets, by all means.

Damascus: The mountains right beside the city is possibly one of the coolest things you'll ever see, especially at night.

Chicago: Didn't stick around for too long to pass a fair judgment, really.

Mecca: It's the most religious place you'll ever see. You have no business there if you're not on a pilgrimage, and neither are you allowed in if you're not Muslim. It's amazing to see just how many people come and see the Kabba, and if you're Muslim, and never saw it before, it's one of the most amazing sights you'll ever see. It's like... Finding the fricking holy grail or something.

Madina: It's the "sister city" of Mecca, also a really religious place. Like I said, you have no business there if you're not Muslim. You can come, but you don't have much to see, every significant thing there is a mosque, especially the centerpiece, the great Mosque of the Prophet, it's a VERY impressive sight, and it seems literally endless when you go in it.

And that's about it.


Good.

Well, London cause i live there and obviously have a biased opinion in thinking its the best fucking city in the world (I do have reasons but cmon its my home n all) ive also been to pretty much every city in England. Paris ive been to and its awesome, ive seen people in this thread call the people there rude ive think they're basing that on stereotypes and auto think whatever they do is rude cause the people where very nice to me lots to see, lots to do and eifel tower is great. New york, i liked it, im used to the busy city life so the crowds of people didnt bother me lots to do shop wise and the grub was good. I went to Dublin it looked like it could of been fun but it rained non fucking stop when i got there to the point i was on the plane so i spent most of the time doing indoor things... yeah theres the cities ive been to.

Traveling in general is great, you learn and experience so much. Even traveling in places within only an hour of you is good.

Hmm... let's see...

I'll start with the UK, since that's where I'm from:

London
Birmingham
Worcester
York
Leeds
Portsmouth
Bristol
Leicester
Wolverhampton

Alright, there isn't really much I can say tourism wise, unless I go on about the London meets for NG. Great sights, arcades and shopping!

Birmingham is good for shopping, not nearly as crowded as London and nowhere near as pricey. Worcester and York are picturesque country towns, as opposed to cities, as you might expect, but York has the Viking centre and Worcester has the commandery, based around the Civil War. I live near Worcester, so bonus points.

Leeds - metropolitan city, much like Yorkshire's answer to Manchester. Football is crap, but nightlife is cheap and the women are very loose.

Don't ever go to Wolverhampton, or you will get lost on the Ring Road.

As for foreign travel, I've been to Vancouver and Edmonton, which are great, from the perspective of a 5 year old and I haven't been back since the 1980s, so it's probably all change.

I don't travel very much; I don't think I've gone further than 100 miles from my home in years. However:

I go to New York City every couple months, mostly restricted to the East Village or the Throggs Neck area of the Bronx. I'm sure I would enjoy NYC very much, but seeing as how I never go there without my family, my view of it is sadly superficial and sheltered. I'm sure once I get a car I'll be going to Williamsburg or the Strand/Alternate Universe/St. Marks stretch of Greenwich Village quite often but for now I'm a tourist and the city is very impersonal to me. Also, I'm trying to get into Fordham or Hofstra University, so if I board there I'm sure I'll have a different reply.

Cambridge, MA, again, largely unfamiliar but I've been there maybe around five times and I've loved each of them. Newbury Comics... very nice.

New Haven, CT, seat of Yale; I'm also a tourist here but one who can navigate the streets and knows the venues. It's not very large so I'm sure I'll move on eventually, but having it ten minutes away by train (in addition to the excellent presence of Toad's Place) makes it very tantilizing at the present.

I live in São Paulo, it's a huge city, packed with people, but it does have a shitload of things to do. The bus service isn't really quality, but the metro is.

I've also lived in Seattle for a year, the sun is a pretty rare thing there, but it's a cool place. Then I moved Gainsville, Florida, and lived there for 2 years. Even though Gainsville isn't a major city, the university of Florida is there.
I've visited NY when I was in the US, but I was only a kid, so I don't remember anything.
