LOVED
San Diego, California - just got back from a vacation there and we are in love. The weather was wonderful and the area, so clean. There was so much to do there too. Tuscon, Arizona - very different, nice. Warick, Roade Island - nice beach and we toured the mansions there which was cool. Salem, Massachusetts - very fun area HATED Boston, Massachusetts - and that Massachusetts Turn Pike. As somebody here already mentioned, they don't believe in turn signals! Toronto, Canada - Sorry, too busy, too many people, and not very clean in my opinion Philadelphia, PA - very dirty, at least in the area I was in. |

Like:
Cincinnati (well, okay, I grew up 30 minutes away, so I may be a little biased) New Orleans (live music in every bar on Bourbon Street...I absolutely love that) San Antonio (The Riverwalk and lots of men in uniform...rock on.) Dislike: Savannah (maybe it was just because I was poor when I visited...but everything seemed to be too damn expensive) Warner-Robins (Georgia--actually, it wasn't that bad, but with the Air Force base, traffic was hell) ...I couldn't really think of any others that I seriously disliked.

Amsterdam – very relaxing and chilled place Edinburgh – beautiful city Hated Aberdeen – called the granite city. All the buildings are grey, sky is grey, people are grey. It is a place to go if you want to kill yourself. Amsterdam – someone put a gun in my friends face and took all his cash. |

Man, this is a tough one. So many cities!
Most loved: 1. I Love L.A. (Sorry, I'm a native.) 2. Paris 3. Rome 4. Athens 5. Istanbul One of these cities does not belong here, one of these cities is not the same. The list goes on and on...I'm an art history minor, perhaps you can see the trend. Most hated: 1. Okayama, Japan 2. Beijing (depressing as all hell, I'll never complain about the state of my life again.) 3. Naples (between the syringes and the fatal motorcycle accident we saw, it was hard to enjoy.) |

I don't love Okayama because I moved here from Nagano, and I really miss all the mountains, rivers and nature there (cherry blossoms as far as the eye can see in the spring!). I guess it's really not Okayama's fault, I just happen to live here. I really love other cities in Japan though! Hope I didn't offend you! Do you live in Okayama?

Nope I dont live there, don't worry you weren't offending me. I was just wondering basically. I really don't know anything about Okayama, but I was just curious into why you dont love it. Thanks for clarifying.

ok, so i've seen more now than i had before, so i'm updating my little list.
BEST 1. Tokyo, Japan (such a vibrant, electric, sexy, beautiful city) 2. Sydney, Australia (its home, and its also the most beautiful city in the world) 3. London, UK (a magnificent, ancient, beautiful and cool city) 4. Cape Town, RSA (this city is chosen for its sheer scenic beauty) WORST 1. Kuta, Bali (cess pit is the only way to describe it) 2. Jakata, Indonesia (its a seething mass of angry humanity) 3. Fresno, USA (such a boring, ugly, flat town) 4. Los Angeles, USA (such a boring, ugly, flat and poluted city) 5. Niarobi, Kenya (chaos, pure unreadable chaos, frightening... in a bad way)
