Best City In The World To Live In?

no kidding, I did not know that!
must be a bitch to sweep used gum!!!

 

perth is great and not to expensive, had a great time there - except this one week when the only eb-games store in the city was closed ...

 

Two cities I haven't seen mentioned so far at Copenhagen and Singapore.

They both benefit from being trading hubs, which means good food, great night life, and diverse populations. They are both on the ocean, which is good for sports.

Singapore is more aligned with my taste in weather.

 

Preference in sequence: NYC, Hong Kong, Mumbai (Bombay), Singapore.

NYC is the most organized vibrant city I have found. Hong Kong too ir organized and vibrant but is too overly chinese for me. Singapore is beautiful and all but you can't do this or that (feels like you are in a boarding school). Heard Shanghai is pretty awesome too but I can't comment since I have not spent time there.

Bombay (hometown) - I grew up here and I know all the goods and bads - so really won't indulge.

 

I wouldn't trust Hong Kong any more. You could disappear into a Chinese labor camp, never to be seen again. Hell, you could be sentenced by a Chinese court to having your organs harvested and sold overseas for hard currency.

Anyone who stays in Hong Kong nowadays is just tempting fate.

And, of course, the same has been true of Shanghai for much longer.

 

I’ve always anted to go to Australia for holidays, what is the average monthly income of people there?

 

Only if you are at the bottom of the survival chain. I know few friends in HK and are bowlers.

 

Raleigh, NC is the best city in the world. A decent, midsize city with many cultural amenities, low crime, excellent schools, affordable housing prices, and decent enough weather.

 

How far is Raleigh from all of the good tech jobs in NC?

 

NC is very bad during winter (Ice Storms) and half the state is dark during those days. I was in Durham on a project for couple of months - I found it dull and boring. But got opportunity to work with some genious java gurus.

 

japan if you're rich! nightlife / food / culture ... everything's interesting

thailand if you wanna stretch your dollar real far. endless entertainment for men!

 

RTP or Research Triangle Park is in neighboring Durham [the outskirts of the city]. As far as Durham goes, that is why I mentioned Raleigh not Raleigh-Durham. Raleigh is a much nicer city.

In the past three years we have had only one bad ice storm. So you lose a day, no big deal. Global warming is making Raleigh the hotspot of the south, so things have changed!

 

Bora-Bora, no question asked...

 

New Delhi

 

I highly doubt it - no ocean there! Freaking hot in summers - highs up to 45 C - yuck! Crazy foggy in winters - can't see beyond 2 feet, 100s of flight cancellations - dude you must be high to consider ND as best city Any city that does not have a beach should be disqualified to be in this thread

 

Y, that does not sound like "the best"

maybe they've never lived anywhere else!!

 

I hear good things about Perth.

 

New York City, Very Vibrant, a little full on
Vienna, Really Cool City, very senic
Prague, It Just Rocks
Wellington NZ, Best place I have ever Lived

 

San diego and its aptly named americas finest city. I just wished it wasnt one of americas most expensive cities

 

Lol who told you that? Theres trash cans everywhere. Depends what part of London you go to though, the richer places are clean but most of London isnt rich and people dont care about what it looks like so they litter.
